RAID0 has no redundancy so all of the media is required for the RAID to be operable. RAID1 and RAID5 have sufficient redundancy to store complete information without complete drives. One implication of that is that if either drive fails, all information is lost. Since two drives are involved, chance of failure is about double that of a single drive. -hank -- '03 BMW F650CS - hers '98 Dakar K12RS - "BABY K" grew up. '93 R100R w/ Velorex 700 (MBD starts...)
