RAID

Final Thoughts
Some would suggest that desktop users may be most interested
in RAID 0, providing improved performance without having to purchase
as many disks. Of course, the biggest issue with this is that, as
we've already explained, a single drive failure will result in data
loss. With many consumer storage chipsets supporting RAID 1, 1+0
& 0+1, and increasingly more supporting RAID 5 (admittedly usually
through software, taking up extra CPU time) and the aforementioned
falling hard drive prices, a truly redundant storage system is more
appealing than ever. One final point to make is that RAID is no
substitute for performing backups. If something disastrous happens
to your computer, you could lose your entire RAID array, so make
sure you have your most precious data backed up and kept somewhere
safe!
