Solve : A quick question about RAID?

Answer»

}{ey everybody!

I'm getting READY to switch my home file server over from using a single drive to a RAID array (too much VALUABLE data sitting there WITHOUT a safety net.)

Anyhoo, my question is does a RAID array have to USE disks that have been especially "paired" for the job? In other words, manufactured to be part of a RAID array? Or, conversely, can I use ANY two disks of the same brand and model?any two will do. i am sure that they do not need to be the same model either. as long as they are the same size.Cool. Many thanks!your welcome.

p.s. i dont know how much computer knowledge you have, but just an added note, in order to have a RAID array, you have to be using SATA harddrives. Quote

Nope. RAID has been AROUND alot longer than SATA...my mistake then. i have only heard of RAID arrays being comprised of SATA drives. thank you for the correction.It's how we all learn...i've been corrected my fair share of times as well.
