Hi, I was thinking about setting up Raid with my 2 Western Digital 40.0 gig Caviar hard drives. I have a few question being this is my first time setting it up.
1. Does raid wear down the hard drives more than normal usage?
2. Do western digital hard drives work good with raid?
3. I purchased one of the 40 gigs about 6 months ago and i just purchased the second one a week ago. They are the same model. Will they work ok on Raid? I heard something about them having to be out of the same lott number or something.. help?
4. Does anyone know of any good Guides on setting up Raid?
5. What are the different types of raid and which one should i use (i heard i should use Raid 0)
6. Can i access the raid drive as 1 drive through DOS
