Raid Levels Explained

Raid is using multiple disks to improve performance and reliability on servers and computers. Hard Drives fail and that’s a fact of life. If properly implemented a dead hard drive won’t affect you at all if your using raid. If your server has hot swappable hard drives you can even pull out the dead drive and pop in a new one. If your server or computer doesn’t have raid built in don’t worry you can simply buy a raid controller for it. RAID is an acronym for Redundant array of inexpensive disks.

Here is a great full explanation of all the raid levels with pictures, benefits and disadvantages to each raid level. http://www.acnc.com/04_01_00.html

Sony Ericsson HBH-608

Best Blue-tooth headset I’ve ever used. Comfortable, Range and sound are good, battery lasts quite a while. My favorite part about the HBH-608 is that the ear piece doesn’t have to go in your ear. It kinda sits outside your ear. You can find them on Amazon for under $20. A very good deal if you ask me. I highly recommend these over the Plantronics or Motorola’s.
