Depends on if you want performance or redundancy.
For performance, RAID 0 is more popular. In this setup, data is split and written across the two or more drives that are involved in the setup. It offers the highest performance levels, since data can be read from and written to multiple drives at the same time. It also allows one to integrate multiple physical hard drives into a single drive for storage simplification purposes. However, it's nearly impossible to recover data if one drive crashes for some reason.
For redundancy, RAID 1 is more popular. In this setup, data which is written to one drive is cloned to another drive(s) on the fly, basically giving a one-to-one copy of a drive at any given time. It's important to note that this is not the same as a standard backup -- if you delete data on one drive, it will be gone on the other drive as well. As a result, read performance will be increased (data can be read from two drives at the same time), but write performance will take a slight hit, since the same data has to be written to both drives as well. The advantage is that, if one drive fails, the other drive can immediately replace it, since it basically has all of the data contained on the failed drive. The disadvantage is that the effective storage capacity of a drive system is limited to the smallest drive in the system (if you have 2 1TB disks involved, total storage is only 1TB).
There are others (RAID 0+1, RAID 3,4,5, etc), but most require more specialized hardware. I'll leave implementation up to you, although you might want to place all drives on its own controller for optimum performance (this isn't an issue with SATA and maybe Fibre Channel, but can sometimes with IDE and maybe SCSI interfaces)

How long will it take to setup RAID 5?
Setting up RAID 5 typically takes about 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the number of drives, their size, and the RAID controller's configuration process. The initial setup involves physically installing the drives, configuring the RAID in the BIOS or RAID management software, and then formatting the array. Additionally, the time to rebuild data after creating the RAID can vary significantly based on the total capacity and speed of the drives involved. Overall, users should plan for some downtime during this process.
How do you setup a RAID network?
I'm not really sure what you really mean. You can set up a RAID array, but not a network that only consists of RAID. However, you can set a cluster NAS server which can utilize RAID arrays. However, RAID is never a substitute for backups, as with RAID arrays each storage device you add creates an additional point of failure - and in cases like RAID level 0 (striping), you will lose everything if even one drive fails.
What type of RAID is a combination of mirroring and striping?
RAID 10, also known as RAID 1+0, is a combination of mirroring and striping. It combines the redundancy of mirroring (RAID 1) with the performance benefits of striping (RAID 0). In RAID 10, data is striped across multiple drives, while each stripe is mirrored to ensure data redundancy. This setup provides high performance and fault tolerance but requires a minimum of four drives.

What are some popular gardening ideas for a vegetable garden?
You can try a window gardening setup. This setup looks really cool and is currently very popular in the gardening community.
What level of RAID is the most fault tolerant?
RAID 1 is the most fault tolerant, as all drives have to fail to lose data.
What are some disadvantages of RAID 1?
The major disadvantage of RAID 1 is that it requires half the storage space to be sacrificed because it is mirroring the drives. For example, if a RAID 1 setup consisted of two 1 TB drives, the user would only have 1 TB of storage despite having the hardware for 2 TB.
State the advantages of CMOS setup?
By entering the CMOS setup you are able to change the boot sequence of your computer, enable or disable RAID, and change power-on settings. The CMOS setup also allows you to view and change floppy, hard drive, and optical drive settings, as well as change a number of other hardware configuration options.
Are there any disadvantage or advantages associated with RAID?
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) offers several advantages, including improved performance through data striping and increased data redundancy, which protects against disk failure. However, it also has disadvantages, such as the complexity of setup and management, potential for reduced performance with certain RAID levels, and a false sense of security regarding data safety, as RAID is not a substitute for regular backups. Additionally, some RAID configurations require additional hardware, which can increase costs.
What is John Brown's most famous raid?
John Brown's most famous raid was on Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. He tried to start a revolt among slaves in 1859.
How do you setup a network of laptops in such a way that you don't lose any information when one of them breaks or gets stolen?
What you're looking for - is a RAID network. RAID stands for either redundant array (of) inexpensive disks or redundant array of independent disks) There is a comprehensive article on Wikipedia on how the system works.
How can different disks be configured for a RAID in Windows?
The answer depends on whether one is looking to configure RAID via hardware or software. Windows is capable under disk management to run RAID via software. The first step is to convert to a dynamic disk. Then the RAID levels supported, in parentheses are Striped, 2 disks (0) Mirrored, 2 disks (1) Striped with parity, which required 3 disks (5) being the three most popular. That said if RAID is being done at the hardware level, then the operating system is oblivious to the fact that it is being raided at all and simply reads what the RAID controller tells it to. In this scenario all RAID levels are suported. For a deeper discussion on raid levels the following site is excellent. http://www.acnc.com/04_01_00.html
