If one part (hard drive) of the array fails, the whole array is gone (the other hard drive(s) would still be good, the data would be gone). So RAID 0 is great to use if you separately back up your data. If you do not back up your data then don't use RAID 0, use RAID 1 or 5 or 6+1 or one of the other redundant systems.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452906212149716503noreply@blogger.com
