[QUOTE="Deleted, post: 344909, member: 29753"] You don't need to hear this, but it may help others reading this in future. RAID 0 is interesting, it's not really RAID as it has no redundancy. All RAID 0 is doing is doubling your chance of disk failure. If the data is very important, you can use a specialist data recovery company, the good ones are very expensive. I usually set up servers with RAID 5 & hotswaps. For desktops use SSD on the OS for speed & something like a Caviar Black for data. Never RAID for desktops, I've seen too many failures. Desktop RAID controllers are usually poor. Always backup the data & don't leave the backup drives connected to the computer. Electrical "events" will usually take out the USB sockets & sometimes the connected backup drive. [/QUOTE]
