About RAID

Hi people, how are you? I have 2 HDDs (same brand, same model) and made software RAID with them. It's working very good, but for the future I am planning to put another 2 HDDs (same brand and model than the others two) and made RAID-0 again. But I don't have a dedicated RAID card, so I will run software RAID again, with RAID-0. This card for RAID it's only for more performance and more support for RAID (more types of RAID) or it's necessary for mroe than two HDDs? It's my question.

Whats the advantage of two raid 0's in your device? FWIW the cost of two drives you could probably get an SSD, hat would be far faster and with RAID 0 if you loose one drive you effectively made the other drive dead as well. You are also dependent on a software solution - if it's Apple or 3rd party and you are running 10.7 and get into a mess no one is going to support your platform.

I don't want to put a SSD as it's not officially supported and SSD is less space and much money, it don't want to spend so much. I prefer HDD as they're enough for me with 7200 rpm. I am happy with software RAID (RAID-0) it's very faster, but I want to know if only with two drives or if RAID-0 using the software solution supports 4 HDDs?

are you using OS X to manage this or something else?

SoftRaid will support 4 drives as RAID 0 and there is a free trial.

I don't want to put a SSD as it's not officially supported

Nonsense. Apple used to sell 3.5-in form factor SSDs to mount on a drive sled, but they no longer do.

You can use a 2.5-in form factor drive, but you need a sled adapter.
