which is the best option ?

or the quality of your drinking water

So when you are swapping, you can’t drink water? But in RAID you still can use your hard drive.
See how this makes no sense

You fail.

Good Day Sir!

I think I just don’t get it. I better go and read some tutorials on RAID.

You should NEVER mix water and hard drives.
Just a warning.

also, NEVER try to run your organisations datacenter off water cooler bottles, as you might run into memory leaks.

you need to switch the idea of raid 0 and 1 in the images. Raid 0 is more akin to two that are next to each versus stacked

awesome explanation!!

Michael, I see that you DO understand, RAID, but don’t quite grasp the analogy here. Shame you haven’t learned to think outside your box. Of course your perception that the Raid 0 and Raid 1 images could be switched is accurate, but for the laymen out there, this image is probably more easily understood. To a laymen, RAID 0 doubles the capacity of the drive. Think in terms of those water bottles, the top one dumps all it’s contents into the bottom, you get twice as much water from the spigot that way, thus you’ve ‘doubled’ the capacity of the water. It’s a nice analogy.

And then the RAID 1 and RAID 5, well, as Mark said, that’s just hard to do with water bottles, and this is pretty close, in a very loose sort of way.
