I've done a RAID 0 with a 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm HDD and it still basically doubled my speeds. |

i thought raid would work by making exact copies of the drives |

If one fails, all fails IIRC RAID 1 is the first RAID level that mirrors data from one hard disk to another, so that data is intact if one drive fails. RAID 2 is more rare to see but is similar to RAID 1 Most RAID levels beyond that have some sort of error correction / parity feature alongside disk mirroring, RAID 0 just writes data onto multiple disks, so that each disk has different data that when combined creates an output |
