Hello, I think it may have been late or there is some confusion on your RAID levels..

Combining two or more disks together to seemingly create one large disk drive is RAID-0. This is sometimes called JBOD mode. The data is written in stripes, with each block possibly written to a different drive. You get no redundancy with this level. > RAID-0 mode of two 40 gig hard drives means that you have 40 gigs of hard > drive space but the information on each drive mirrors the other and both > have MBR masterboot record where a software raid-0 if the MBR is distroyed > your out of luck. What you describe above is mirroring and is RAID-1. Data is written to both disks which provides redundancy should one disk fail. Hope that helps clear it up.
