lo,

I've have a Maxtor 60gb 7200rpm on my raid array at the moment.
In BIOS it sasy its set to 1 + 0 Stripe mode.....
Is that OK?
Is there a better setting I could use for 1 HDD?
Oh, and is there any software I can use to adjust my RAID array
through Windows?
 
You have one disk in the array? That's not an array. You need at least two. Four even for RAID 1+0 (three works in special cases).

So the setting won't matter. You can even turn RAID off if you wish. You're just using the RAID socket as a normal IDE port.
 
yes the bios can be set to whatever but if the disks aren't there there will be no raid. takes at least two for raid 0 and same for raid 1.

raid 1 is mirroring - two drives one a copy of other
raid 0 is striping - two or more with the data striped across them
raid 0+1 is two striped then those mirrored

you see with only one disk none of the above can be obtained:happy:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
