Let's say I have 3 drives in RAID 1.
1. I take out all the hard drives and connect 1 of the hard drives directly to the motherboard (not the raid controller). Will the system behave as if nothing happened? That is, can I boot the system and continue on without problems?
2. Does 1 hard drive always act as the main drive and copy to the other drives or do the roles change periodically?
3. Let's say I move a large file from an outside source onto my computer. As soon as the file is finished copying, can I turn the system off or do I have to wait for the drives to copy each other?
4. The read portion of RAID 1 is fater than 1 hard disk on Vista, right? How slower is the write portion?... the more hard disk on the RAID array slows it up, no?
