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.'"

    I've never heard of a virus corrupting data. I think that's a lot less common these days than hard drive failures.

    You hit it right on the head. When the stupid cunt, Mr BTX-Man start with the "I might mean invitro or it might mean idiot. My preference is" any possible credibility went straight down the shitter. The fucking original paper is available online. If you are going to educate us, you at least will do a little research before you start telling the world how it is.

    What a stupid fucking loser that asshat must be.
