Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

RAID stands for Random Array of Inexpensive Drives. There are different types of raid, but i'll just cover the three most common, RAID 1/0/10

 

RAID 1 is basically a mirror, meaning if you have two identical drives in RAID 1, everything you write to drive A, will be the exact same on drive B. This adds redundancy as if one drive fails, the other will be fine and you can continue with the same data.

 

RAID 0 is called 'striping'. That means it takes a file, splits it into predefined chunk sizes, and spreads it across the drives you have in the array, this increases speed (in a lot of cases) and on mechanical drives it decreases seek time for larger files. This method is bad because if one drive fails, you lose all of the data on that array.

 

RAID 10 is a mix of 1 and 0. Meaning you need 4 drives to do it. RAID 0 drives are A/B, RAID 1 drives are 1/2, while drive A is being written to in stripe, it's mirroring everything to drive 1, this applies to drives B/2 as well, this is good as it adds redundancy to a natively non-redundant RAID 0.

 

There are two different RAID systems, software and hardware control. Intel supports RAID on their chipset itself, while with AMD I believe you need a PCI RAID card, or you could do a simple software raid in windows itself under the partition editor.

You were late to the party.

 

 

 

 

@iAveex

That's the main types of RAID configs you need to know about.

Thanks a lot.
