This is a quick Raid Array test I did to show the benefits of a raid array to those folks out there who have never used one, or dont know what a raid array is. Quite simply a Raid Array is nothing more than A "Redundant array of inexpensive Disks" or a bunch of cheap hard drives working together in various performance configurations to allow maximum throughput to be pushed through by all drives at once, thereby increasing maximum data flow. As an example one of my Samsung 250 Gb hard drives has a maximum burst rate of about 180mb per second, while 4 of them in Raid "0" bursts at over 370 mb. Cost for comparison wise A single Velociraptor Drive ( which costs 240-250 dollars) has a maximum burst rate of approx 210-220 mb, while my entire Array costs 200.00 for all 4 drives. And I get a Full terabyte of space, not 150 GB.
