Volbet 7,688 Posted November 5, 2015 It would have been easier if you had asked this question on the Storage subforum instead of in the blog section. Not many people venture into here. Well, RAID 0 is when you have two (or more) drives that acts as one drive. Theoretically, this should double (or triple, or quaduple etc.) your read and write speeds, but at the cost of data protection. If one of the drives fail, then you loss all your data. RAID 1 is having two drives in redundancy. Whatever you write to one drive you also write to the second one. RAID 1 will cost you half of your storage space, but will double the amount of data protection. If one drive fails, you will keep all your data, and you can rebuild the array with a new drive. RAID 10 is just two RAID 1 arrays in RAID 0. So you have four drives, the storage capacity, and the theoretical speed, of two drives. Link to comment Link to post

I'm sorry, let me see if I got this straight. A RAID 0 is mostly used with SSDs while RAID 1 is used with HDDs, and a RAID 10 is a mix of both?? Link to comment Link to post
