raid if i am thinking of the same thing you are then it is when you read and write to multiple hard drives at the same time. if that is what you are thinking of doing. I suggest not doing it my experience with raid is that when 1 drive goes they both go. this is just my opinion from my experience others may offer differing opinions.
