  • @foxman105 FUCKIN OWNED!

  • @muffemod Nope just a sore looser... you.

  • @foxman105 TROLLED HARD.

  • @muffemod You just run out of arguments... and if speed is no gaid buy a 5400 green disk and stfu.

  • @foxman105 ENJOY YOUR NO GAINS BRO.

  • @muffemod Have you ever heard of the phrase "If its not broken dont fix it."? Messing with firmware is the easiest way to kill a HW component.

  • @muffemod In my opinion its still worth the performance. I have RAID 0 in my PC for the 2nd year now and no issues have yet occurred. I've already written... if you want safety create a backup on a third disk or simply dont use raid.

  • @foxman105 Your math is flawed because the risk of data loss in RAID0 is actually more than double, because you forgot to include the chance that the raid controller fails in the calculation.

  • @foxman105 I update firmware when a new one comes out. God, typical Playstation Generation question.

  • @muffemod RAID controllers fail on daily occurrence, VGAs fail on daily occurrence, Motherboards, cpus, RAM... everything fails on daily occurrence. Its a risk that you cant eliminate. Now when we have 2 discs in RAID0 the risk of failure doubles. is less reliable than a sigle disc but it also (theoretically) doubles speed. Id you have important data just store them on a different HDD (which might also fail on daily occurrence). Oh... how many times have you updated HDDS firmware?
