Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>mainboard>asus (more info?)
newbie to raid but am tired of worrying about drives crashing. I read on
page 5-25 of the manual about raid 0 1 and 0+1. I can't understand why
anyone would want anything other than 0+1. What am I missing?

My goal is to have 2 exact duplicates of my data 'on the fly.' It sounds
like that's what raid is supposed to do. It's not that I have such
valuable data, it just seems to be the best way for me to 'back up'
because I don't want to do incremental backups.

Will I be able to do 0+1 if I have a smaller drive I want to install to
the 2 new 80 gig drives? And is it best to 'install' the old drive
separately to each new drive?

Thanks!

People use RAID 0 for system performance. It increase hard drive read
time by as much as 30%.

It is recommended that you use matching hard drives.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Use Norton Ghost.

Well RAID 0 gives you double the speed and full capacity of your HDs.

That's RAID 1.

You'll be able to do it on your two new drives, obviously.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Use Drive Image 2002.
You can do it via its two boot disks. This is safest. I once used Norton
Ghost running it via XP and lost the whole Raid array as it creates a
virtual partition which sometimes if the process goes wrong fucks everything
up. Using boot disks keeps you away from virtual partitions and all the
downfalls if it goes wrong.

Do I install my old stuff to the new drive THEN install the raid drivers
from the CD and install or do I wait to make the array then copy the
stuff onto the C drive which is already in the array. If it's the
latter, then I don't get how I can use the western digital disk to make
the copy I need since I believe when you do a fresh install, it erases
everything on the new drive and wouldn't the array run into a problem?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Does DI2002 let you easily go in and pick out 1 file? And does it let
you do multiple backups to another HD as long as there is room? Someone
told me ghost lets you do that and that it's easy to extract just one
file. I wish they had 1 day trials of these programs.

If I can't decide which to use, I'm going to just back up using my
western digital install disk lol.
