RAID 0 - Data striping (no data protection). The benefit of this system is that it offers highest performance.

RAID 1- Disk Mirroring (provides data protection by duplicating all data from a primary drive on a secondary drive). The benefit of this system is it offers highest data protection.

RAID 0/1- This combines both Raids 0 and 1. The benefit here is highest performance + highest data protection.

RAID 5 - Data striping with distributed parity (a form of data protection that recreates data of failed drive in a disk array). This system offers best cost performance for multidrive environments.

Having a RAID system installed can provide peace of mind. With RAID installed you can rest assured that even in event of a system failure your important data will be safe.

Not thinking, I click on site and start to absent-mindedly scan through all famous court cases listed. Remember, I was originally looking up my old buddy Arlo, now I’m in a world of laws and crime. Well, I come across this crazy looking face: Charles Manson, and for some unknown unconscious reason I click on his court case. I didn’t know much about guy, but maybe because both my parents are x-hippies and he was from their era…

Now I’m spending an hour of my time (and nothing is more valuable than time, except love and peace) reading about gruesome murders of Manson’s Family as his group of devoted followers was called. I didn’t consider myself interested in this sort of evil stuff, and still don’t, as my feeling after experience was one of distaste, sadness and plain wonder as to how people can do these sorts of negative actions.

In end, following absent-minded link trail led me to a place so much darker than where I started. I don’t know if I ever would have spent an hour of my life reading about Charles Manson otherwise. It’s not my cup of tea you know. I’m into peaceful music, humorous novels, Tai Chi and foreign films. This can be taken as a sign that we must be careful, conscious and alert when we are searching Internet. It is such a huge mass of information, and like all things in existence has its dark side as well as its light. Be careful Dorothy, yellow brick link trail can lead to wicked witch as well as wonderful world of Oz.
