I've got a complete mirror of my

All that means is that if you have RAID 0 you won't know which hard drive
has been infected, and if you have RAID 1 then both hard drives will be
infected. A RAID array does nothing to protect you against worms or
viruses, only hard drive failures, and a RAID 0 array won't even protect you
against that. In fact a RAID 0 increases the chances that you will have a
mechanical failure at some point.

My computer is set up with both RAID 0 and RAID 1 (RAID 1+0) so that I get
the benefits of boths types of systems. The two hard drives set up in RAID
0 speed up all reading and writing functions, so opening programs takes half
the time, writing or reading data takes half the time. Then I have two more
hard drives in a RAID 1 array, automatically backing up everything that
happens in the RAID 0 array. For a total of 4 120GB hard drives. (240 GB
storage capacity, plus a complete backup).


That's nothing. I'm set up with RAID 9, and I'm upgrading to RAID 12.
I have back ups of everything. I even have a clone of myself in a
freezer.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!
