What If...?

I have two drives hooked up in a Raid-0 array.

If one suddenly died, and refused to work, what would become of my files? Would any be acessible, would they all be corrupted?

What would the outcome be?

Your files would be toast. Raid0 saves parts of each file on both disks. So the remaining working drive would only have partial information on the file. If you use 0 + 1 then you would have a backup set of drives, so you could retain your info.

Okay, thats steered me RIGHT away from Raid 0...

Thanks!
