RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, and with
at least two hard disk drives, you can setup them up as a RAID
array in order to increase the disk performance (a.k.a. RAID0)
or to improve data reliability (a.k.a. RAID1) In this tutorial,
we will teach you how to setup a RAID system on your PC. RAID0,
also known as data striping, is set when you want to improve
your disk performance. It works by dividing the files to be
written on disk into several chunks (called stripes) and saving
each chunk on a different drive. For example, if you have a 200
KB file and two hard disk drives, it will be cut into two 100 KB
chunks, with each chunk being saved on a different hard disk
drive. This is a greatly simplified explanation. In reality,
each stripe must be a power of two and is configured when you
setup the RAID system. If your RAID system uses 128 KB stripes,
it would divide our 200 KB file into two 128 KB chunks (the rest
of each stripe, 28 KB, would be left empty). If our system were
using 32 KB stri
