> Our analysis computer at work is setup with raid 0. I also have a backup drive where I have all the files backed up (I back up working files probably four times a day). Is there any reason to change from raid 0? I frequently create a results file \>3GB - would the access speed help with this?

I have done work on raid 0 servers and also on raid 1 and 5 servers. The performance is better on raid 0, but not worth the risk of losing everything if any one of the drives fails. If you truly could care less what is on it and can get everything back and tolerate the downtime, go for it.

I would not put raid 0 on anything, it’s not worth the risk.
