How does having 24 drives make it any faster than having one?

Using a RAID setup....which is all I know/understand.

Though having 6TB is nothing I'd complain about. What happens if one goes bad, do you just lose the stuff that was in that section or does the whole system go splat.

I hate rich people so much.

I doubt very much that he was rich. Its an ad for Samsung, so it probably was paid for by them.

depends what RAID setup you have. some types of RAID mirror files so you have a copy of each file on each HD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks

there's a list of different types on that page.


also here - http://www.lascon.co.uk/d008005.htm - you can find an extended list

In the video they are rather limited by their choice of raid controller.

Personally my home machines system drives run in Raid 0. If I lose the system drive big whoop. If you want to make sure you don't lose anything to drive loss you'd want raid 1, 5 or 10. In those configurations you can pretty much just plug in a new drive (same model ideally for things not to break) and everything will work perfectly should you lose a drive to malfunction.

RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data across several disks in a way that gives improved speed and full capacity, but all data on all disks will be lost if any one disk fails.
RAID 1 (mirrored settings/disks) duplicates data across every disk in the array, providing full redundancy. Two (or more) disks each store exactly the same data, at the same time, and at all times. Data is not lost as long as one disk survives. Total capacity of the array is simply the capacity of one disk. At any given instant, each disk in the array is simply identical to every other disk in the array.
RAID 5 (striped disks with parity) combines three or more disks in a way that protects data against loss of any one disk; the storage capacity of the array is reduced by one disk.
RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and mirroring. "01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both valid, but distinct, configurations.

From the wiki link. Other raid setups exist but aren't relevant here.
