RAiiiiiiiiDDDD????

RAAAIIIIDD????

Well, been reading some about RAID.

I had planned on using a separate HD 250gb to run my os. Then I have 3 other drives 2 external and 1 internal to save games and other media. (total of 2 terabytes) . But I am a bit confused about RAID.

What are the real world advantages? If I am already using a separate HD for the OS and have a external backup of everything already?

Thanks guys as usual.

Also if you think RAID is the way, any sites that can help me understand it better and how to set it up?

i used to have 2x 160GB Raptors in RAID but i sold them to a friend and myself a 750GB to store things on

BTW i had my OS on my 500GB and just games on the raptors, but now my games are on the 500GB and my back up, music and other stuff are on my 750GB

Yeah, I believe in backing up. But Im stil fuzzy in RAID. Are there really many advantages? Or do you hink the setup I have would work?

Yeah I knew that much, but really did not seem like much of an advantage. Just splits and duplicates data on the both drives. Strange idea, seems to be a waste unless there is a large performance difference
