Basics of RAID

Posted by Zonk on from the brush-up-on-the-essentials dept.

Doggie Fizzle writes "RAID has been common in business environments for ages, and is now becoming more viable and popular for personal computers. This article focuses on the the basics of RAID, and spells things out for beginners or tech veterans. From the article: 'The benefits of RAID over a single drive system far outweigh the extra consideration required during installation. Losing data once due to hard drive failure may be all that is required to convince anyone that RAID is right for them, but why wait until that happens.'"

  1. First FireFox .0.6 Bug? by RKBA · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I wonder if I'm the only person to file a FireFox bug report that the "Read More" link to this article on the front page kills the new version of FireFox? For some reason, this URL aborts FireFox 1.0.6:

    http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/07/ 22/2159230&tid=198&tid=1&tid=218

    Oddly enough, the link works fine if you copy/paste it into FireFox's address box, but not if it's clicked on from the main SlashDot page. Can anyone confirm this?
