my current understanding of raid: multiple HD's acting as one, where information is copied to multiple, where in case of a faulty HD, it can be replaced and rebuilt without losing information<br />
<br />
what i want to learn: how to understand the menu system, how to set this up, and more of a understanding on it. so explanations, descriptions, and how to's. i feel with enough how to's i will have a good understanding of RAID<br />
<br />
RAID 3 is standard for servers is it not?<br />
<br />
PUNKY:<br />
Thanks for the link for RAID 1, i will review.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.

Storage Hardware

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.
