RAID 0: striping \n \n \n\n \n \n In a RAID 0 system, data are split up in blocks that get written across all the drives in the array. By using multiple disks (at least 2) at the same time, RAID 0 offers superior I/O performance. This performance can be enhanced further by using multiple controllers, ideally one controller per disk.\n\n\n\nAdvantages\n\nRAID 0 offers great performance, both in read and write operations. There is no overhead caused by parity controls.\n\nAll storage capacity can be used, there is no disk overhead.\n\nThe technology is easy to implement.\n\nDisadvantages\n\nRAID 0 is not fault-tolerant. If one disk fails, all data in the RAID 0 array are lost. It should not be used on mission-critical systems.\n\nIdeal use\n\nRAID 0 is ideal for non-critical storage of data that have to be read/written at a high speed, e.g. on a PhotoShop image retouching station.\n\n  \n \n \n\n \n \n RAID 1: mirroring \n \n \n\n \n \n Data are stored twice by writing them to both the data disk (or set of data disks) and a mirror disk (or set of disks) . If a disk fails, the controller uses either the data drive or the mirror drive for data recovery and continues operation. You need at least 2 disks for a RAID 1 array.\n\n\n\nRAID 1 systems are often combined with RAID 0 to improve performance. Such a system is sometimes referred to by the combined number: a RAID 10 system. \n\nAdvantages\n\nRAID 1 offers excellent read speed and a write-speed that is comparable to that of a single disk.\n\nIn case a disk fails, data do not have to be rebuild, they just have to be copied to the replacement disk.\n\nRAID 1 is a very simple technology.\n\nDisadvantages\n\nThe main disadvantage is that the effective storage capacity is only half of the total disk capacity because all data get written twice.\n\nSoftware RAID 1 solutions do not always allow a hot swap of a failed disk (meaning it cannot be replaced while the server keeps running). Ideally a hardware controller is used. \n\nIdeal use\n\nRAID-1 is ideal for mission critical storage, for instance for accounting systems. It is also suitable for small servers in which only two disks will be used.\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n RAID 3 \n \n \n\n \n \n On RAID 3 systems, datablocks are subdivided (striped) and written in parallel on two or more drives. An additional drive stores parity information. You need at least 3 disks for a RAID 3 array.\n\n\n\nSince parity is used, a RAID 3 stripe set can withstand a single disk failure without losing data or access to data.\n\nAdvantages\n\nRAID-3 provides high throughput (both read and write) for large data transfers.\n\nDisk failures do not significantly slow down throughput.\n\nDisadvantages\n\nThis technology is fairly complex and too resource intensive to be done in software.\n\nPerformance is slower for random, small I/O operations.\n\nIdeal use\n\nRAID 3 is not that common in prepress.\n\n \n \n \n      RAID 5    \n      RAID 5 is the most common secure RAID level. It is similar to RAID-3 except that data are transferred to disks by independent read and write operations (not in parallel). The data chunks that are written are also larger. Instead of a dedicated parity disk, parity information is spread across all the drives. You need at least 3 disks for a RAID 5 array.\n\n\n\nA RAID 5 array can withstand a single disk failure without losing data or access to data. Although RAID 5 can be achieved in software, a hardware controller is recommended. Often extra cache memory is used on these controllers to improve the write performance.\n\nAdvantages\n\nRead data transactions are very fast while write data transaction are somewhat slower (due to the parity that has to be calculated).\n\nDisadvantages\n\nDisk failures have an effect on throughput, although this is still acceptable.\n\nLike RAID 3, this is complex technology.\n\nIdeal use\n\nRAID 5 is a good all-round system that combines efficient storage with excellent security and decent performance.

If you were trying to use RAID, then you'll have to reformat your hard drive(s), and reload Windows, remembering this time to load the RAID drivers before installing Windows.\n\nIf you could care less about RAID, either ignore it, or disable it.  To disable it, right-click on it and select Properties, then choose "Do not use this device" in the drop-down box at the bottom.  BTW, the question mark merely means that the hardware is there (it's built into your motherboard), but you haven't loaded the driver for it.

Stripping is using RAID-0.  First, make sure your motherboard is RAID compatible.  If it is, configure your BIOS to accept RAID, and install the drivers.\n\nIf your motherboard is not RAID compatible, there is a way to do it through windows XP(if that is what you are using).  I wouldnt recommend that, though...

If both partitions are on the same hard disk then use partition magic else you have to use a raid card.

You can create a RAID 0 setup because some hdd managers just see one disk instead of array.\nA RAID 0 splits data across 2 (or more) disks thus it provides with hdd speed advantage. However I strongly recommend to special software in order to backup a RAID 0 setup because the corruption of only one disk leads to the complete data loss

INS iniate the raid and usually have ploice for support.  People tend to run but the exits are always covered.  For more information on this.  Contact the local PD and talk to public relations they're more than happy to tell you anything you like,

Get 2 of these and hook them up in a RAID!\n\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144160

Nope:\nPATA 3 x ATA100 up to 6 Devices\nSATA 1.5 Gb/s 4\nSATA RAID RAID 0/1/0+1 Matrix RAID\nAdditional RAID Controller Promise PDC20378\n\n\nIf you do get a sataII check out the Western Digital Sata 3G with a 16MB buffer (320GB) It is almost as fast as my 10,000 RPM Raptor!

If the hard drive supports SATA, then that is by far the best interface to use.  It is faster than IDE.\n\nRAID is not an interface type, it is a type of configuration that can make data storage more reliable by duplicating data on the hard drive or adding error correction information.  Unless you are using this drive for business purposes, you probably don't need to worry about RAID.

Ok this will depend on a couple of things, how many CD or DVD drives do you have??\n\nIDE support  4 devices in Total \nChannel 0 - Master\nChannel 0 - Slave\nChannel 1 - Master\nChannel 1 - Slave\n\nIf you have Serial ATA, then you can support 2 more drives\n\n(These can also be RAID 0 or RAID 1)\n\nSo you can have 2 IDE Masters (1 on each channel) and 2 IDE slaves ( 1 on each channel)\n\nThe OS will take care of naming them, if you have 4 devices then they will become (normally) C: D: E: F:, any card readers will follow on G: H: etc, and Network drives will count down from Z: Y: etc.

Depends on what you're looking for.  For max performance and disk space, RAID1; for a balance of both performance and data integrity, RAID5.  If you add a fourth drive, the RAID5 performance should increase by a factor large enough to offset the speed advantage RAID1 gives, but if you're limited to three, and want max performance, RAID1 is the way to go.  Just make sure you have a backup solution if you're data is important.\n\nRAID1 gives the best performance because it doesn't have to concern itself with writing separate data out to the RAID5 "parity" drive.  It simply spans all disks in the array when writing.  Read performance is affected as well, since, when reading, additional parity calculations are performed in a RAID5 configuration.  RAID1 simply reads the data segmented during the write, and re-assembles it in the proper sequence.

as there are SO many...i think the site i sent you in the source is going help you out.  It breaks it all down in categories so you can be a little more specific in your needs.  Good luck :-)

You need to be a little more specific.  What do you mean by various levels...levels between ranks or types of agencies like local vs. state vs. federal?

I would go with a lacie drive :\n\nhttp://www.lacie.com/products/family.htm?id=10007\n\nDepends what sort of features you are after, If you have lots of money then I would suggest one of the RAID ones they have ( they are like a couple thousand dollars ) so be warned, when I say expensive I mean expensive lol.\n\nOther then that just get which ever one suits you, mobile or desktop one - As long as it is external and or internal if your laptop has a modular bay. I suggest external though but make sure that your laptop can support the interface types ie firewire or USB 1.1 or 2.0. ( WIth regards to USB they both work ie you can use USB 1.1 devices with USB 2.0 and visa versa ). Same goes for firewire but you can NOT and do not use usb with firewire or firewire with usb.

nice idea! there are plenty of noobs (and i mean that in a good way) that need help! also, you can email me at "taylorteeth@yahoo.com" if you have any questions. i have just finished my 2nd year of runescape with a level 121 account!!! *says yippee under breath* any ways, i know mostly everything there is to know about the game. oh and the highest level in the game is 126, although jagex mods can choose there level... even if its above 126... hope i helped!
