whitehawk..RAID means "Redundant Array of Inexpenive Disks"..it is a method of using several hard drives in grouped together various ways to achieve certain goals. http://www.acnc.com/raid.html
The two most popular ways for home users are "RAID 1" and RAID 0"
RAID 1 is where you have two hard drives "mirroring" each other exactly...so that if one drive dies..you still have the data etc on the other drive
RAID 0 is when you take two or more drives and then you "stripe" the data...in other words if you are writing 500meg of data...250 meg of data is written to each drive at the same time..so it is faster. Of course if you lose one drive you lose all the data so RAID 0 isnt used for important data...it is used more for speed, like for gamers etc
