Raid 0 is Duplexing, Bit 0 goes to run drive, bit 1 goes to another. No redunancy, but blazen fast on my Gamming rig. Raid 1 is Mirroring, everything gets duplicated on two drives. If you had a hardware raid, such as a on-board raid controller, I would not see why this would not work. Raid 5 is a min of 5 drives. 4 are used for data and you loose one as your stripe. So, if you have five 20 gigers, you would get only the space of four due to loosing one for your stripe.
