    WD20EARS Safe To Use in RAID

    WD20EARS is a drive which was released by Western Digital knows as Green hard drives which comes with Advanced Format and 4kb drive sector. All works well here I just want to add this to raid, but not getting support for the same. Raid 0 is the first partition beginning of the disk of 16 GB for os and applications and the other partition is for games and backup documents.

    Basically it better to use the same for those system which does have Windows home Environment. You may not need TLER if the entire things is configured properly. For that I will recommend you try the Raid Edition. To achieve balance supply your drives and your application, there is technology that has proven: the Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

    For the Raid 0 you can also meet under the name of stripping offers a speed increase as well as read write. To this he adds the bandwidth of both disks and their ability to form a single disc virtual. When recording these data are fragmented and are distributed between two disks. But this is where the problem is that when it comes to damage one of your two disks all information will be permanently deleted.

    It might work well for linux support system. Here speed has a price. To address this possible failure, compensate by adding a disc allowing only your information while the rest of the Raid system processes your applications and your operating system. You'll understand this system is primarily for those seeking performance at any price. I will recommend you to use a different drive which much support all.

    Neither Raid 1 or Raid 0 and Raid 0 +1, let alone the solution from Intel (only compatible with Intel chipsets) has a distinct advantage: it only requires two hard drives. On both disks are created two partitions: one in a raid (this on both drives) and RAID-0 (also present on both discs). The system will be recognized as two units of volume (both partitions).

    Basically, there are ConsumerHDDs and EnterpriseHDDs. They differ on some points are from each other, including in the way read / write errors corrected. RAID systems, such as those used in servers store data redundantly, are so identified with a disk error, the data otherwise reconstruct and repair the system at a later date. The EnterpriseHDDs have therefore implemented rudimentary own bug fixes the RAID controller takes care of. It is important to provide the data in this case too quick.

    Re: WD20EARS Safe To Use in RAID

    The sense of TLER and the above mentioned technologies by competitors is now to stop the internal drives in correction trials after a certain time so that the disk is not spun out of the RAID array. A major difference between ConsumerHDDs and EnterpriseHDDs is that EnterpriseHDDs almost exclusively on RAID controllers in the RAID array can be used.
