I was inspired by some foolish fellow, who soon after the release of Mac OS X 10.0 took 5 USB floppy drives, plugged them into his iMac, and set up a RAID5 array on them.

I'm in the process of a new build and have picked up a couple of the Corsair Performance Pro 256GB SSDs.
Considerations:
1) Capacity: 256GB is enough capacity for a boot drive, but my preference would be to have a single 512GB drive. Winner: RAID 0

I used to rave about how fast my array was...but if what speed benefit.
Articles on the net (including Geoff's) is that it is not that relevant to RAID arrays of 256GB SSDs between a single drive and two in RAID 0.

In any of the RAID levels that use striping, increasing the number of physical disks usually increases performance, but also increase the chance of any one disk in the set failing. I have this idea that I shouldn't use more than about 6-8 disks in a given...

In addition there.
If you don't believe me, set up a RAID 5 array on a single-chain SCSI controller, whereas the RAID 5 array would simply roll over and die with a two-drive failure.

Hello all. I am looking to store a large amount of media: movies, tv, music, etc.
Speed isn't a huge concern as I don't think this will impact watching a movie, etc. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to bypass the RAID configuration on a Dell 710 with the PERC 700 series controller?
