RAID
Read that ^ RAID is normally used in enterprise/business type environments. Usually it's purpose is to prevent data loss. One drive or more fails, and the data is still safe and sound on another drive (or more). The novelty these days for home use is RAID 0. Which really isn't RAID at all, because there is no redundancy. RAID has plenty of applications, but most people have no use for it at home. |

you need 2+ hard drives in order to enable raid, depending on your current hard drive situation it may be owrth it or not.
