I have 2 80gig hard drives. One's a Maxtor 7200rpm ATA 133 and the other's a Seagate Baracuda 7200rpm ATA100. I have a an ASUS P4s533 board (Supports ATA133). I am about to upgrade from windows 2000 to xp, and figured it was a good time to set up a raid. I have a PCI ATA133 raid card kicking around, so i want to through that into the mix. Now, here's my questions:
1) When using Raid 0 (stripping), if one of the drives craps out, is there anyway to read the data off the other drive.. or is everything screwed up?
2)Should i put the OS on my raid drive, or maybe buy another 20gig drive for the OS? and have my 160gig raid drive for my video storage (I do alot of video editing).
3)What kind of performance gains will i see from a raid array
4)Because one 80gig drive is ata133, and one is 100, am I correct in assuming that the raid array will only operate at ata100. (Is this a problem?!)
5)Any issues with winxp and raid?
6)should i disable my onboard ide and put my dvdburner and cd drive on the pci card too? (what's the best?)
thanks
