    THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO!!!! I almost erased all of my data. I just purchased a 2nd HDD for my system. Now i have 2 1TB HDD's. I wanted to set up a Raid 0 array for better performance. But, I wasn't sure if I would lose the data on my first disk that contains my Windows OS, Steam/Ubisoft Games, and other programs. I was just about to set it up when I watched your video. And, I really appreciate that you mentioned, "only blank disks should be used to set up a Raid, because it will erase all of the data stored on the disks." I've watched tons of video tutorials on creating Raid Arrays and you were the first to include that VALUABLE piece of information. You're a life saver! Thanks...

      RAID is awesome, but was a pain 10yrs ago using Ultra SCSI drivers... If you had a failure you'd have to wait ages to get a replacement. Good video tho, hence most of the MoBos are capable of using RAID with SATA drives everyone now can set it up! xD

      José Carlos Pereira In a datacenter is a rule to have spare hdd drives to replace damaged disks in an array. Is always best practice to have spare drives at hand or a gold contract. I.E: dell can give you a new hard drive for your servers under contract in max 4 hours.

This video both gave me the knowledge to make my decision of which works best for me. As well as the knowledge to properly setup my drives. Thank you, much appreciation for taking the time to make a video that saved me a lot of time. (P.S. I have a 3tb for data storage so data loss isn't a big deal.)

    RAID noob here. Will setting up a RAID delete existing data? Specifically for a RAID 1? And if I set up a RAID 1 with two 840 EVO drives, can it be done if one is 120gb and the other is 250?

    • @rtsummit4882
      @rtsummit4882 9 лет назад +3

      I don't know if this is still relevant to you but to answer your questions:
      Yes it will delete all your existing data.
      Yes it can be done with two different capacity drives, but you will only be able to have the capacity of your smallest drive, so in your case 120GB

  • @binexec
    @binexec 8 лет назад +22

    Your explanation of how RAID-0 works is wrong. Striping isn't done on the bit level, it's done on the block level.
    Using your example of "0110011001" and assuming a block is 5 bits long for simplicity, the first drive would write "01100" and the second drive would write "11001" simultaneously. The drives does not write alternating bits like you did in the video.

    If you're still reading this Linus, one potential reason that two RAID-1 drives can fail in a close time proximity is if both drives entered service together and have now written beyond the TBW. Other than that, excellent video for explaining basic RAID-0 vs RAID-1 to noobs.

    Nice video. Question...if I have two hard drives set up as raid 1, and one of the drives goes out, can I unplug the bad drive and immediately start using the good drive (I'm assuming it should have identical content)? And how do you create a new raid 1 with a new hard drive, using the remaining good drive (I ask because I tried to set up a raid a few minutes ago and it said that all of the information would be erased from both drives in order to complete the set up)? Thanks!

    @NCIX Tech Tips How would you go about backing up a SSD (boot drive) with a HDD
    (mirror/backup drive) of the same size? Using RAID 1 or backing up
    manually to the HDD when needed at your convenience? I hear the RAID 1
    option makes the performance go down to that of the slowest drive (the
    HDD).

    Is there anyway to RAID partitions? I've currently got a 120GB SSD and need more space, however not much more. Since the price for a 240GB (same vendor) has decreased a lot, I'd like to know if it's possible to buy that and use half (120GB) of it as RAID 0 and the other 120GB as a normal partition?

  • @sweetbilly
    @sweetbilly 13 лет назад

    @Cashilysh I believe from there, as long as your motherboard supports a raid configuration, you have to configure the raid setup in your bios to be raid0, raid1 etc... and which drives to select. I believe it's normal to ask you to erase HDD's. Just look through your bio's carefully it should ask you which drives you want to use, you'll have to select both. I would look through videos on configuring raid for a computer/mobo similar to yours. You might need raid drivers if your mobo is old.

    Hi, thanks for your nice video. May I ask the storage manger screen is inside bios or is it a software installed in windows?
    I want to buy a server and it will be delivered directly to a data center. It comes with 4 HDs of the same size and I want to setup RAID 0. So can I configure RAID from either BIOS or a software inside operating system? What I'm not clear is is there any special hardware setup before I configure RAID?
    Thanks!
