In general, RAID 0 or not faster?

In general, if it can be generalized, is two drives in RAID 0 faster than the same two drives not in a RAID?  Or does it depend on other factors such as system specs?

I was just wondering if I had a hard drive failure, would using five separate discs be any slower.
Yes it would definitely be slower so it depends on what media (and their codecs) you are using. If you have access to Harm's latest data on PPBM7 you can see what he recommends for different codecs.

  • Current xserve raid speed rate not fast enough

    guys,
    my xserve raid having problem when i edit HD project 1920*1080, its ok when i edit, but when i view all 30 mins movie, its hang when play till 5 mins of the movie, and keep on hanging after that, why is that? is it because the setting of my xserve raid got problem? read n write speed not fast enough?
    help plzzzz

    Both the write cache ticks should be on, The allow host cache flushing should be off. The use steady streaming mode tick should be off also. (So the pattern of th ticks is: on, off, on, off)
    The stripes stting depends on the cache size of the disk. On disks with lower than 16 MB, the 8 stripes setting is right. On disks from 16MB cache you can use the 128 stripes setting (In general the 750 GB disks have 16 MB, the others have lower).

  • Materialized view not fast refreshable

    I need to calculate a moving total in a materialized view - that is, calculate subtotal for rows starting at current row up to the first row.
    I am using a window function, as shown below.
    The problem is, MVs using window functions are not fast refreshable, and I need this MV to be fast refreshable.
    Is there any other way of getting the moving total without using a window function?

  • Raid Utility Error Message "raid utility is not supported on this computer"

    I am not doing anything that I know of, but Raid Utility keeps opening up on its own, and a message pops up multiple times a day telling me "raid utility is not supported on this computer"
    Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    Network startup is if you want to start your macbook using a network drive.
    Keep your startup settings at your current drive.
    Raid utility doesn't apply to you since you only have one hard drive installed, unless you installed another hard drive in your optical bay.
    Fibre Channel is another type of hard drive connection via network connection.
    You can't access things you don't have installed in your macbook.  Those are there in case you decide to have a network drive start up options, a raid configuration of a fibre channel network drive.

    I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

    If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
    Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

  • RAID Utility does not work after Vista upgrade

    Hi,
    I have a Qosmio G30 with 2 HD 120GB each. After I upgraded to Windows Vista from Windows XP, the Toshiba RAID Utility does not work anymore. In WXp it worked OK, but in Vista there is no way I can mirror the HD. That is, the utility itself work, but the button that should say Mirror, or something like that is not shown. I have set the drives to RAID-1 in the BIOS, but no go.
    Is there any way to get the software RAID to work again?

    Hi,
    just a little question: While installing vista, did you installed the RAID-driver at installation time? Maybe this could be the reason why RAID cannot be activated properly.
    Please give some feedback, if you installed the RAID drivers for Vista during the installation..
    Cheers

    Do you clean your iPad screen?  Do not use standard window cleaners, with ammonia or alcohol, like Windex, but a damp towel, followed by a micro-fibre cloth is recommended.  There are also cleaners you can buy which are specifically designed for iPad/iPhone devices, such as iClean from Monster.

    Unfortunately yes, but Snow Leopard is still a great OS in the meantime so don't rush in too quick if you really don't need to.

  • RAID admin software not fixed by Quicktime 7.12

    Hi
    I too have had the RAID admin software not launch recently and all evidence points to recent Quicktime updates as discussed by others.
    The latest quicktime update does not resolve this!
    So in interests of a workaround I have written a small app which uses a terminal command listed in the thread-
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1553067
    This app relies on the fact that the RAID admin file is resident in /Applications/Utilities/Xserve\ RAID\ Update/
    If the admin app is not here the launcher will not work!
    I have tested this on Panther 10.3.9 Server
    Drop me a line at edadams70 at gmail.com to get this launcher
    Regards
    Ed

    can you share the app with us?
    I'm on quicktime 7.1.2 and it ***** cause there is no reinstall for it. Just tomorrow i'm receiving a second 14 disk rack and i'll be damned if i can't configure it.
    APPLE GET TO WORK! Release QT uninstall!

    Huntress Hello how are you? My name is Celso (Brazil), I spoke with you last week about having received an iphone 4 when he bought an 4S. Luckily I could return it to the store and bought a real 4S. Now really rather have the Siri and everything elsethat 4S offers. Thank you for your help. Good evening.
