Raid 0+1

RAID 0+1 basically means you create 2 RAID 0 arrays and make a RAID 1 array out of these 2 arrays. RAID 1+0 (or RAID 10) is the other way around, creating 2 RAID 1 arrays and making a RAID 0 array out of those. Either way you get best of both worlds, however I would recommend RAID 5 instead, same best of both world story, less drives needed, more space utilized.

 

switch disk numbers: I want Disk 0 to be Disk 1 and Disk 1 to be Disk 0

Hi, My computer contained a normal HDD hard drive. I recently upgraded to a SSD. The original HDD is Disk 0 and the new SSD is Disk 1. The windows OS is on Disk 1. I want to dual boot my system with Windows and Ubuntu with both OS being on the SSD. Since
the SSD is Disk 1 the Ubuntu install goes directly to Disk 0 because Disk 0 is first on the list. How can I switch the two Disks so my SSD drive is Disk 0? Thanks.

 

1 SSD or 2 SSD RAID-0


Where can you find a 1TB Evo 850 for $380... was that a typo? Did you mean $580?

The difference between 1 drive and 2 drives in RAID-0 is that in RAID-0 you have 2x the chance of losing your data. Imagine, for the sake of illustration, that a drive fails 1 out of 10 times. That means there's a 10% chance of failure. If you had two drives, in RAID-0 (which is striped) then there's a 2 out of 10 times chance of failure, or 20%. This is because if either drive fails, you lose all your data due to the interleaving of the sectors.

Still, unless there's a power surge or static discharge, it's unlikely for this to happen. And that's likely to affect all SSD's in the system anyways. SSD's these days don't have the failure rates they used to from write cycles. They now last 5+ years with heavy usage.

I have, however, had power supplies blow up on me and fry all the electronics in physical drives as well, so even mirroring isn't a replacement for a backup.
