Your computer supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. RAID for performance RAID 0 lets your computer see multiple hard drives as a single drive. This type of RAID can increase file access speeds, which is important if you work with video editing, sound editing, and high-performance games. RAID - Gateway FX530XT | 8511858 - FX-Series Hardware Reference Guide (for Windows Vist - Page 40
Advanced Hardware Setup How it makes file storage cheaper Because RAID 0 lets your computer see multiple hard drives as a single drive, you can install several lower capacity (less expensive) drives and have the same single-drive storage simplicity and capacity as a larger, more expensive hard drive - Gateway FX530XT | 8511858 - FX-Series Hardware Reference Guide (for Windows Vist - Page 41
www.gateway.com Drawback RAID 1 treats the entire array as a single drive with the storage capacity of the smallest physical drive in the array. So if you have two drives (300 GB and 250 GB) in a RAID 1 array, your computer only recognizes a single drive with 250 GB total capacity. RAID for both: - Gateway FX530XT | 8511858 - FX-Series Hardware Reference Guide (for Windows Vist - Page 42
