Hello guys Kall Here,
Long time reader first time Poster, So Here is the situation I am building a new computer, I hit a snag that everyone is too scared to try I understand and respect that this may sound crazy but I Have my heart set on the Western Digital Caviar Blacks, namely Model number WD1002FAEX1 now here is were I Have Problem I have my heart set on 4 of these guys in a RAID.
Cool you gurus now think "Those in RAID 0 is fast, but no still... It will be no match for my 4 disk SSD RAID 0." But wait... I want RAID 5. You now think "THIS IS MADNESS!!!(to which I add "This is Sparta. but that is hardly the point.") HAVE YOU NOT READ THE DATA SHEET IT SAYS RAID 0 AND RAID 1 ARE YOU MAD?!?" But I have and I am wondering is there ANYONE who Has tried this before and Failed. No one seems to talk about it directly and everyone seem to scared to try, In spite of the fact its possible the advise maybe for the main reason of a Up Sell to the RE, This is a home gaming computer not a 24 7 server. call me a sceptic if you must but it May help many to know.
THE question remains this:
Can Western Digital Caviar Blacks be used in raid 5 at home?
So has anyone Tried of am I off on a pioneers journey?
I need answers Please help me.
Oh yeah I forgot I am running a 2 disc SSD raid 0(2x OCZ Agilty 3 60GP) now for my os, I wanted 3 long story... low stock in the most Isolated city on earth (well maybe the second most depends who you ask).
