I'm not a hardware person, so maybe someone here could help me. I ordered a PC from Dell that has "Serial ATA Raid 0 "Stripe"(7200RPM)Dual HDD" (2x500gb). However, I've just noticed that there's only one HD of 1TB (which is the default option when ordering). Should I be seeing two HDDs in "My Computer" or does the Raid0 setup simply improve performance rather than have (and display) two individual HDDs? How can I check if my computer does have a 'raid0' setup?
Thanks
1You must backup your data regardless of what flavour of RAID you're using. – ThatGraemeGuy – 2010-09-21T15:54:31.460
Agreed, but I felt it was important to stress it even more with RAID-0. Complete failure chance goes up with every single drive you add. If you use RAID-1 or 1+0, you won't lose any data if one drive goes bad. – Matt DiTrolio – 2010-09-21T16:09:01.453
