RAID 0 disk size

[AsusGuy]

In RAID 0 are two XX gigabyte drives equal to their combined size. Example: if I use two 80gigabyte drives in a RAID 0 configuration because of striping do I get 160 gigabytes? Or just 80? As apposed to RAID 1 where the drives mirror each other and you only get the matching drives size equal to one drive. Example to 80gigabyte drives in RAID 1 equal 80gigs of storage.

in RAID 0 you get twice the drive space

 

[imported_Kensai]

2 X 80GB in RAID 0 = 160GB (Minus file system space)
2 X 80GB in RAID *1* = 80GB (Minus file system space)

This is correct. You get the size of all the drives added together, or rather (the size of the smallest drive * number of drives, which only matters if the drives are not the same size).

Also, this would have been trivially answered with a Google or forum search or by reading the RAID FAQ at www.storagereview.com...
