| The MAC conspiracy Quote:
MAC on the other hand is an acronym (in IT related matters) for Media Access Control (address). Other uses can be found here. Nevertheless, the Mac (notice my use or rather non-use of capital letters) community welcomes switchers of all trades

RAID-0 (striping) on a single physical drive can only make drive access slower while decreasing reliability. It also makes it harder to use the drive on other computers. RAID-1 (mirroring) is also pointless on a single drive. It also decreases reliability, while not offering resiliency against corruption, and halving the amount of hard disk space available. RAID-5 (stripes and distributed parity) should technically be possible, but is an extremely poor choice for a single drive. |
