This is the first time that I've put my SATA drives to a striped configuration.
I've always had them set to mirrored prior to this.
I figured I'd put it to striped to increase my disc space.
Well now one of the hard drives crapped out and now I've basically lost about 300 gigs of files.......yay!
I guess I'll have to buy a replacement drive and I might as well pick up two additional big drives. Maybe one I'll do one as raid0 and the other as raid1.

Sorry bout your luck =(

This is a good reminder for everyone who wants the "performance boost" from striped RAID. You also get a boost in chance of failure!

Ohhh!!! i see what you did there...

Very clever Creep..

Is there a difference between SATA and SATAII?

is there a diffrence between VW And Porsche?

honestly, it usually comes down to heat.

I'll be buying a replacement drive as well I'll be buying 2 new 500 gig drives.
Either this one:
Seagate 500GB 7200RPM SATAII 32MB
or
Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB SATAII 32MB

Google's report says otherwise.
