I'm upgrading to an Asus B with Z97 built-in. Is the RAID0 set-up OS independent? I have several OS's here to boot into and it would be great is anything written to drive1 gets copied to each raid drive.

My guess is no and since all I have on it is family photos' I'd be better off picking one OS for all the image work.

thanks all

Raid-0 is striping where alternate blocks are written to each drive.
It is supposed to improve sequential performance but that does not happen with real apps.
If you want redundancy, you are thinking raid-1 or mirroring.
Regardless, it is probably better to use an EXTERNAL device to protect your valued files.

I think you're a bit mistaken as to what a RAID 0 is.

RAID 0 - striped.
It distributes (stripes) the data across all drives. There is not a copy on 'each' drive. And it brings significant downsides. If any individual drive fails, all data on all of them is lost.

Thanks for the reply. RAID0 should have been RAID drive 0. I think I knew this would cause problems sometimes you just need another confirm that.I have a Startech external drive bay that supports RAID1 but its a nightmare to get going.
