With a striped RAID system, if one drive fails the whole system fails and all data is lost. With a mirrored RAID 5 system, one drive can fail and the data is still safe, but that system is very slow. With a RAID 0+1, you use four disks and it is fast and secure, but if information becomes corrupt, the corruption is just mirrored in the RAID drive. Not that I understand all of that!! (That's all from Evening's LR book but Peter Krogh says the same thing) I use the recommended JBOD system - "Just a Bunch of Disks", regularly backing up and checking everything. Since hard drives are so cheap, I just get two every time and back one up for every one I have online. Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
