Can you run a large capacity SSD drive like this in a RAID configuration striped with a RAID 0 or mirrored with a RAID 1???

No idea but Google around. I see lots of comments about SSD and RAID setups on the net. Good luck!

Unless there are limitations imposed by your motherboard, you can; however, the concept of using striped format is really something that helps hard drives with movable disks. Nevertheless, I've never tried it, but it sounds feasible. Good luck

Hi, yes indeed, as well as being a raid 0, 1, 5 unit this product is also a very competent JBOD (just a bunch of discs) that interfaces with your via a decent USB 3.0 port. It very (too) easily switches between those storage configurations; just don't make the mistake of switching before you've backed up your data!!

Nope, that's only possible if you use XRAID (let the NAS auto handle the RAID levels). If you manually configure it as RAID1 initially using FlexRAID, you don't get the option to convert it to a RAID5 when you add in another disk later. You'll need to use at least 3 HDD to start with RAID5.

Yes I have 1 ssd and 1 bluray burner and 1 drive but i could put 4 in raid 5 if i wanted too! Hope this helps

If you are repairing a RAID configuration, then you will want to get a 1.5 TB drive to match your previous one. However, if you are just replacing the drive and plan to either reload the OS or clone it over somehow, then yes, this drive would be a great replacement.

It's either/or. When you set the drive up you have the choice of using the RAID 1 or 0 configuration. If you decide to change your mind later, you'll end up losing everything you've stored on the drive. I stuck with the RAID 1 config to provide redundancy, even though it cut the capacity by half.

Use the Intel Raid Controller that is on your motherboard if you are going RAID 0, that's what I would do. I am using the card for an SSD which was perfect for my computer, big jump in performance. Not sure how it would work under RAID 0, seeing how I have never used it for that. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have two internal drives running off this card, paired in a RAID 1, set up through Win 7. If your motherboard and OS supports RAID, it's not a problem.

Thank you. The board is an ASUS Sabertooth Z87 with a RAID controller onboard. I want to use both a RAID data array and SSD drives for OS. I am told the board can do this but I'm unsure about setup of this feature and thought the card may be an easier way to control the array and set the BIOS for hot swap SATA and let the card control the array. Maybe I should look at a different RAID card.

Yes, there are three options- Speed (Raid 0), Security (Raid 1), Capacity (JBOD) = Just a Bunch Of Drives or like you asked "two disks separately as two 2TB drives". https://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10573

Yes, you can use with a single drive or multiple drives. They do not have to be in a RAID configuration. That is optional.

I setup with RAID 1, according to instruction, it also support Raid 0, 5...

Yes, it comes with two 7200 rpm drives already in place. And it is capable of being set for either Raid 1 or Raid 0. Just remember that if you decide to change between either Raid 1 or 0 that you will lose all data previously saved. So make sure you know which one you want to use before starting.

Yeah, I fell for it, too. I thought I was getting 2x 4TB drives -- and it is TB, btw...not gb (which is 1000x less). I found it's only 2x 2TB drives. I believe you can change the Raid to 0, though...which will stripe data across both of them and you'll get nearly 4TB of storage. The only downside to this is if one fails, you lose the data on both. Make it more fun then...and add a 2nd one to the network and have them back each other up =)

PC World did a study which shows SSDs in Raid 0 can be about 88% quicker: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2365767/feed-your-greed-for-speed-by-installing-ssds-in-raid-0.html#tk.rss_allDownside: Raid 0 doesn't all for TRIM, which might reduce the longevity of your drive.

a Raid 5 will accomplish the same thing, while not requiring as many drives. The drives work together to increase speed, while they're also fault tolerent so 1 drive can crash without loss of information. If that's suitable, that would be the best option. You need at least 3 drives and the space will be 2/3 of the total capacity.

i have run dual raid 0 i have raid 10 and raid 1 i have not tryed dual raid 1 but it shold work fine
