Not quite sure why the question is, but I got 220gigs with 83gigs used up.

Right now, I got a 40, 80 and 100. I am in the process of replacing the 40 to a WD120.

I got a bunch of like 9 gig scsi laying around that I am going to put into a machine just for storage as well.

4 x Western Digital 8meg cache drives (JB series 120gb) in a RAID 0 :grinning totalling 480gb.. used space.. (including partitions) is a paltry 13gig.. but ive got a 120gb seagate for storage with just 20gb left

such a waste =( maybe they should come visit me for awhile, yea i like that idea....

got a 30 and a 60.....60 is full *all special "free" software, 11 gigs of mp3s and all my website* 30 has like 15 gigs on it *mostly windows and game adn appz*

A waste it may be.. but damn .. my disk transfer speeds beat SCSI everytime.. you should see the HDtach & ATTO scores and they are happy where they are.. so no.. get ya own

Hrmmm... Forgive my ignorance, but if you have 4 RAID drives at 120gig each, does the entire size of the drive set become only 120 gig? If it is 480 and 1 drive fails, the raid (i thought) was supposed to prevent disaster, well where can that extra 120gig that failed go?

no hes running in raid 0....theres 4 types of raid.....raid 0, raid 1, raid 1+0, and raid 5 *yea i think they skiped 1-4*....raid 0 = pure preformence, if that array dies so does ur data.....raid 1 just a back up, u basicly only use one drive but have another drive as an exact duplicate......raid 0+1 is the best of both worlds has its back up and preformence, but takes twice as many harddrives.....raid 5 i havent messedwith at all, think its for more then 4 drives.....

I run a pure RAID-0 ... its only a bootable system drive... pure performance.. and I have a Drive image of my OS and basic programs/settings etc.. so if things go poops.. its a quick re-install. I have a nice seagate installed in the machine as well.. for backup of all files that I want to keep.. and NTbackup.. backs up current work onto that daily.. so if the RAID should fail.. I have everything I could want tucked on that.. PLUS.. a DAT drive which backs up once a week.. so I have hard storage of everything (nearly 80 gigs worth) should the seagate die as well as the RAID!..

Haddy totally right on the RAID setups...

Raid 5 is striping (like RAID 0) but a portion of the drive space on each disk is lost.. this space is used to hold duplicate parts of the other drives.. so if one fails.. you pop a new one in.. and the RAID will rebuild it from the information stored on the other drives.. u need 3 minimum.. and its considerably quicker than RAID 0+1 and of course.. can be rebuilt "on the fly" and you dont have to take the system offline!

Have a good day peeps !!
