I�m running all mirror drives. Raid 1 = Mirror Drives Raid 0 = Striped Drives
I�ve played around with Raid 0 for my photo shop images. But if you have a problem with either drive ALL data is lost. I did this a few times by accident. If I were going to stripe 2 drives I�d also have a 3rd drive that All the data from the raid were backed up to on a daily basis. As far as mirror drives, I�ve had no problem restoring a raid from having 1 drive go bad. My G3 Beige case ate a few ATA cables and each time it brought down my raid. You just slap in a fresh drive and rebuild the mirror. You need a separate HD controller for each drive in the raid. So it requires an pci controller card. Mine are all software controlled raids. I�m using the Panther raid feature with no problem. I also use SoftRaid with OS9 & 8.6 and it works great. Have never tried a hardware raid.
