OK guys, I hope you can clear something up for me. Raid 1 is data mirroring, and RAID 0 splits the data between two drives (please correct me if I'm wrong here), so then does RAID 0+1 split data AND mirror it? if so, how does that work? would you need 4 drives for this, or can it be done with two? please help.
RAID 0+1 requires 4 drives, and is basicaly a RAID 0 with the striped drives having identical backups. I think you can do a google search to get the full explination I personaly didn't see the need for such redundancy and just went with RAID 0, but should I have one drive fail, I lose it all (which is why I have all my data backed up on an external server). What application are you wanting to use this for?
not so much planning to use it for anything as just trying to figure out what it all means and does. makes it easier to read certain articles and things. thanks for the help!
