so i'm a newbie to pc builds and toms hardware and was wondering if it is possible to raid 0+1 on different brands/sizes/build so that essentially i have the speed of a three way raid 0 and then have the raid 0 copy itself to a single hard drive. so essentially i have three main questions:
Firstly:
Can a raid work in conjunction with another raid?
Secondly:
Do all the hard drives involved in a RAID have to be the same model, size and/or type (eg ssd, hdd)?
Lastly:
If they don't have to be the same model, size and/or type, would i be able to set up 3x 128 gb ssd's that are exactly the same in raid 0 (to increase the performance) and then have that raid 0 in Raid 1 with a single (obviously large enough to support the 3 combined storage of the ssd's) HDD (or ssd if necessary) of a potentially different brand so that i have the contents of the raid 0 backed up onto a single hard drive (or ssd) that is not necessarily the same brand, size and type of hard disk.
Thanks.
