Unlike a drive or two inside your desktop or laptop PC, a RAID consists of two or more drives combined to create storage ...

If you’ve got a ton of music, photos and video and you don’t know about RAID hard-drive arrays yet, read this—or wave your precious media files buh-bye. RAID sounds like vaguely scary ...

It's a simple question that's been on my mind for a while - can I build two RAID-0 arrays, using four hdds obviously, run from a single RAID controller card? I've not seen any options to do this ...

The only absolute requirement for matching drive specs in a RAID 10 array is that the drives must be of the same architecture, e.g., all SAS or SATA. Mixing and matching drives of differing ...

David Gewirtz takes you through an array of options. For years, I never had a critical drive failure that would showcase the benefit of RAID. Recently, I've had two. My RAID arrays saved my bacon.

In our tests, the array was twice as fast as a single drive. Even if you need the speed and capacity of a RAID array, you may not need the RAID case. FireWire itself is hot-pluggable, and a ...

Parity computations are used in RAID drive arrays for fault tolerance by calculating the data in two drives and storing the results on a third. The parity is computed by XOR'ing a bit from drive 1 ...

When a drive does fail, in hardware RAID solutions you can usually swap out the disk and the controllers will automatically rebuild the RAID array; however, with Apple's software RAID, rebuilding ...
