What does raid-0 Configuration do to your hard drives?? Which configuration is the best for gaming??



Posted by: arturo238

Raid 0 is a striped aray, meaning that the data is devided and then pieces of it are stored on each hard-drive. When using any type of Raid, make sure that your HDs are the same size, otherwise your max space will be the smaller drive times 2. Raid 0 is the best for gamers because it is designed for speed wheras the others are designed to make sure that no data is lost, ever.

Raid 1 is disk mirroring meaning that it creates 2 copies of the same drive.

so raid-0 configuration is much more risky coz you are storing data on 2 different HDs.

no Raid-0 is not risky, as far as data security it is the same as using a single drive. It does not mirror the drives like raid 1-5 does.
