Well, not computer really but routor question. My relatively ancient D-Link

Through the magic of manipulating the addressing of sectors of the drives,
RAID can indeed make can make two drives appear as one - all transparent to
the operating system. This can be accomplished in multiple ways for multiple
purposes.

Hi, I just bought a new rig.
The guy who did the initial install for me set up a 2 drive RAID array,
apparently they are "striped".

The array is 2 500gb drives that show as a singl

Thanks for all the replies to my question. It looks like the
concensus is to leave em running all the time when the computer
is on.
It also sounds like I am pretty lucky where I am. Power outages
or surges are a real rarity where I live.

Servers are set to run all the time and many are never really switched off,
most of them have the same consumer drives you using. It only saves
