I'm going to make software RAID-1 of disk C: and partition D: (same sized) of another disk.
- How RAID-1 reads and writes in W8.1 – will it read/write as slow as double speed of slowest disk? I think writing commands for slowest disk should be queued to let faster disk work fast.
- If software RAID-1 supposed to sumarize reading speeds of disks – how to disable reading from slowest disk? (if fastest more than 2 times faster)
I think that this raid-1 configuration is a future favorite of all usual users becausein case when any disk fails it lets(lossless) tocontinue using OS.
The rest of 2nd bigger disk (which may be raid-0) in my view should only host files of torrents andexclusive or personal files/libraries mirrored to cloud storage(s). If 2nd disk is SSD – it's usually faster (multichannel) so (in this cases) the partition of it is better
to be sys. and 1st disk can be raid-0 (hardware).
