Raid
 

Okay heres the situation...

About 8 months ago i bought a 500 GB hard disk, and now that drive has 80 GB remaining. I thought to myself if i buy a 1TB that wont last me that long either.

So i was thinking about going for raid, the problem is wat option do i go for raid 0,1 etc..?

Ive heard that with raid you can loose your information if it goes wrong :(

Is raid even the right option?

Any advice on this would help very much :)

simple answer no

if you mirror then you only get the capacity of 1 drive anyway so that defies the object. If you stripe and 1 drives goes down the lots lost. Other option is raid 5 so you get 2 drives capacity and 1 drive parity so if one drive dies the other takes over and you replace the dead drive

The title confused me, you mean RAID surely? :D
