RAID Issue

Recommended Posts

OK, I decided to do a RAID 0. This is my 1st RAID setup. On my mobo I have the option to RAID SATA's 1-4 and also 5-6. I can not do just 5-6 without the 1-4 so I have 2 160G as my OS etc. (SATA's 1 and 2). My SATA 3 is for my burner and the SATA 45 for id for my eSATA.

My question is, Why does my burner/eSATA come up as RAID? I did nothing with those when I RAIDed my HDD's. Should I worry about it?

Any input would be appreciated.

THANKS

Your CD burner shouldn't be seen in RAID configuration. Really strange. But, no matter that, I wouldn't use RAID 0 since you don't have any redundancy. So, if one disk fails, you will loose all of your data. Also, you won't get much performance improvement, maybe 12-16% tops.

I am not worried about data loss, but I have only went from 5.7 to 5.9 in WEI.

So do you think it's worth it? Or should I just go back to non RAID?

I wouldn't use it. I have bad experience with it :) But it's up to you mate. You can try.
