Raid

[micah56]

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?
