RAID 1 is mirroring (data are stored on both diks), RAID 0 is striping (data
are split between both disk).
If one disk fail, You will loose your data in RAID 0, not in RAID 1.
You can change this setting yourself later using the BIOS menu or the DELL
CD.
I recommend RAID 1 for safety

PS: RAID 1 don't dispense you to regularly check if both disk are healthy
and how to replace a defect one without losing valuable data saved on the
other.
Alain: Thank you. RAID 1 it is. Also, I will do burn in tests, on the RAM and
drives, before I begin configuring the box. And, learning how to remove/replace
a defective drive is something I should do. Lanny
VMWare is a good way to experiment with things like that.
