RAID 0 VS Raid 5

Taco Magus · #1 (**permalink**) 01-14-2008, 03:05 PM

Ok so i am setting my Computer up for raid. I'm having a hard time deciding wether to go raid 5 or 0

I do alot of gaming and surfing and not to much else. I still plan on having at least 1 non-raid drive set up as well...

Anyone got any suggestions/comments?

thanks
Taco

That seriously depends on what you are trying to achieve with raid. Performance (read or write), fault tolerance and all that.
Before that question has been answered, it will be difficult to advice you.

If you are only gaming and surfing, why would you need a raid system?

Just something to play around with. I'm going with raid 0. I figure if i dislike it i can always go back.
