I'm not going to larian studios Luc, unfortunatly ... still have Lar speak is exciting enough, the others should be working on DD2 instead of talking about it. I'll do my part if I can I'm expecting a whole crowd to go see the presentation.

However I am sure that you will enjoy it. Please give us some info afterwards ok?

I am not jaleous !

Because Larian without Lynn, Marian, Drealmer, Forktong, Shrimpo, Leather Raven etc.
It's not Larian ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

That is overkill if you ask me, only one would be enough for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Still that's just me, if you need that 500gb then I'll simply say, good for you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Raid 1 (mirroring for speed and safty)

Ah right forgot about Raid, I would sacrifice safety for more speed with Raid 0 though :P

What? Raid 0/1??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I'd say 500mb is overkill too though. I have 160, that is enought for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

When you get two hard drives on Raid 1 you only have half of the total space offered by the two.

In Raid 1, your computer will write files two times (once on both hard drives) for some extra proctection, if something happens on your "main" drive the other one is there with the same stuff.

In Raid 0, the computer will write half of a file on a drive and the other half on the second drive, which means your computer can write twice as fast and read twice as fast as well. Though if something happens to just one hard drive, neither of them can work properly.

This information probably isn't 100% accurate <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> but that's my understanding of how Raid 0/1 works.

RAIDers of the lost arc ...

Raid 0 to 5

yeah I know but I am thinking of next year adding 2 more HD's and making it one big Raid 5 Array
