Raid 0

Can a raid 0 array be configured with an "odd" number of hard drives such as three or must it always be with an "even" number like two,four ect. ?

Thanks
 
Yes, RAID 0 can be implemented with more than 2 drives, and it does not have to be an even number of drives...

...but i'd be thinking about RAID 5 myself... [/shamelessplug]
 
Running RAID 0 is asking for trouble. Use RAID 5 if you've got more than 2 drives. You lose space, but gain quite a lot of reliability.
 
Ok, the reliabilty issue was of some concern. Raid 5 is more reliable but I was hoping for more speed, this motherboard also offers Raid 0+1 which means having to use at least four hard drives but should provide both speed and safety... (Present case only holds three hard drives, time to go shopping again)

😉 Thanks for the comments....
 
I have 2 drives in Raid 0 and 1 drive as a backup for my important stufff. It seems to work out pretty well. I do still backup my Raid drives with DVDs every once in while.
