I find hose clamps work far better than those plastic clamps, also do they carry tygon 3603 instead of 3400, that stuff is better.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

You are talking about Finland, you'd be surprised how long I looked for that Tygon, yet alone their better stuff.Nic wrote:

Meh 0+1 & 1+0 are more complicated when you need to check which is broken imoebug9 wrote:

RAID1 does indeed boost read times because it can look in one of two places for the same piece of data. With RAID 0+1 you can have the best of RAID 0 (fast write speeds) and RAID 1 (a mirror of your data plus faster read times).FloppY_ wrote:

Raid1 = Mirror
Stripe = If 1 drive dies you risk losing all
Mirror = If 1 drive dies you just replace it and nothing is lost
afaik Raid1 can boost read times....

Never actually tried it but most motherboards support it nowadays and come with a utility for software RAID.
Was the first thing I tried. But it won't let me change it from the HDMI to the headphones... it just defaults back to the HDMI straight awayFinray wrote:

When you have multiple audio devices installed, you'll get an option to "Set as Default". Try that.
If by boost you mean increase (as in make slower), then yes, yes it can and does.FloppY_ wrote:

Theres a difference? I've never done RAID before... whats the difference between the two?FloppY_ wrote:

Raid 0 is when you have two hard-drives. Windows sees them as one. For example, if we use two 500GB drives, Windows will see these as 1TB. When writing files to these hard-drives, it will write half the file to one drive, and half to the other drive, in theory doubling read/write speeds.Winston_Churchill wrote:

Needs 4 drives. 2 for striping, and 2 to mirror that striped volume.Finray wrote:

Raid 0+1 is when you have three drives, and have two set up as is in Raid 0. The third drive then copies one of the Raid 0 drives. If a disk is to fail, you only need half the information (when reading through the backup drive, it can take any '1' and realise on the other drive the corresponding binary digit would have to have been a '0'.)

A stripe is across two drives. If you're going to then mirror that, you need another two drives to do so.Finray wrote:
I was sure I read/heard somewhere that you could do it with three?

Unless you're running out of room for programs/games, you might as well just throw them in and use them as data drives.Sydney wrote:
I don't give a flying fuck about the data on my OS/Games drive, I'm gonna RAID0 with all 4 drives, I've got my data stored elsewhere.
I'm just wondering whether it would be worthwile to turn my current 2 disk RAID0 into a 4 disk RAID0.
