drives more efficiently. 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 - Gateway FX6800-01e | 8511858 - FX-Series Hardware Reference Guide (for Windows V - Page 40
drive in the array. So if you have three drives (300 GB, 250 GB, and 200 GB) in a RAID 0 array, your computer only recognizes 600 GB total capacity. RAID for security RAID 1 maintains a complete copy of a file set on each physical hard drive in the array. Maintaining simultaneous, complete copies - Gateway FX6800-01e | 8511858 - FX-Series Hardware Reference Guide (for Windows V - Page 41

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 FX6800-01e | 8511858 - FX-Series Hardware Reference Guide (for Windows V - Page 42
