For all their electronics industry and the futuristic tech image they try to display outward, South Korea is horribly technologically retarded.
Up until about ten years ago you could just portscan South Korean IP ranges and come up with pages after pages of critical infrastructure that was unprotected or using default credentials.
It's a wonder North Korea didn't turn the whole country off just to prove a point.

Why are Worst Koreans like this? Maybe instead of building a cyber dystopia they should focus on their plummeting demographics instead? Japan looks good by comparison.

it's not really a RAID (hence the "0") as it's not redundant, which is part of the definition of a RAID.
it does combine drives into a single logical space however, so that's why it's called that. it combines drives by splitting data evenly across all member drives. so like as a simplified example, say you have a 1MiB file and two discs, 0.5MiB will be stored on one disc and the other 0.5MiB on the other. because of this, all drives need to be working for any of the data to be accessible, since part of any file that isn't really small is on every drive.
the reason someone might use raid0 is for performance. you can imagine that if a file is spread across multiple discs, then accessing that file benefits from the speed of every drive combined

That sounds phenomenally retarded for anyone who cares about losing their data. Doesn't that just multiply the chance of data loss by the number of drives?
Anonymous No.106855239 [Report]
>>106855215
yes, it does. raid0's are supposed to only be used for scratch space, that is, high-speed space you use to store /temporary/ data, stuff you can afford to lose. these days there's not as big of a use for them as like a raid1 of two decent nvme drives would destroy anon's 8-disc hdd array in performance... but of course.. you can raid0 nvme ssd's...
basically, it's not something you should choose lightly, if you don't know you need it or know the risks, you should not use it
Anonymous No.106855298 [Report]
>>106855215
say you have a purpose that *needs* fast disk speeds, like high-end video capture. You use the speed of the pair of striped disks to capture in realtime, then when you are done you can just back up the captured file to another device, which can then be slower, as you no longer need to worry about dropping frames etc.
Of course, you could just add another pair of striped disks for redundancy, which is exactly what RAID 10 is afaik. But tldr, you have applications for which disk speed is a greater priority than data security. And if you are using a RAID 0 system for typing and storing your Word docs, you are doing it wrong.

Also, I have a couple TB of MicroSD. How stupid would it be to try and RAID them together for slow but highly redundant storage?

Car has a screw-on antenna, I'm thinking I could maybe rig a low-power NAS using an SBC and a bunch of cards on a usb hub.

But I don't need digital files. Notice how we have physical objects dating back thousands of years yet we don't have copies in original format of the earliest digital files ever produced, yet that only goes back a few decades. Digital is for accessibility, not for preservation. The ultimate black pill is to return to monke. So much more time and freedom not having to worry about files.

Meanwhile there's VHS backups all over the internet of all kinds of things, many of which have comments of 'thank god you backed this up' etc. Let me tell you something, you will never regret backing up anything but you will regret not doing it and watching something be permanently removed from existence and then sitting there with your cock in your hand hoping someone else did it.

Course if all you do is watch garbage slop then none of this applies to you, carry on
