Raid 0: Blessing or hype?

  1. what i like about RAID-0... by cipher+uk · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...is that those who aren't too savvy with computers have fun re-installing windows when they have a raid array. "windows xp says i have no harddrive !!" i don't mind fixing these sorts of 'problems' for friends of friends when all it takes is to put a driver on a floppy and press F6. i also don't mind telling them i had some 'trouble' because of their harddrive setup and being paid for what actually took me like 5 minutes. so there are deffinatly some plus points to RAID-0

  2. Sure, RAID 0 is great for data loss! by aaamr · · Score: 0, Troll

    If all you're looking for is speed, fine... but RAID artrays are typically installed not just for performance, but redundancy/data protection.

    RAID 0 may provide the former, but the loss of a single disk = bye bye data.

  3. Article can easily be ignored. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll
    1. Tweakers.net has a poor reputation amongst serious people here in the Netherlands for cranking out bullshit.
    2. Tweakers.net articles are in dutch. This is either a blatant copy-paste or some just a cheap trick to get some webtraffic boost.
    3. The reputation, reliability and trustworthiness of the tweakers.net community is about on par with the Gartner group, to put it in Slashdot terms.
