Have a question about raid 0

Banc · 06-22-2009, 11:50 PM

I have 2 WD black 1 TB that I want to use for raid 0. My question is how stable is this. If 1 hd goes down do I lose all of my information. Thnaks for your help

I have the same hard drive setup in Raid 0 with no problems so far. And I believe if you loose 1 you loose all the info since the info is split between the two for performance.

Yes, there is a 100% data loss if a drive fails. But the caviar blacks are reliable drives, and should be fine in raid 0, but still should backup important data incase you do have a failure.
