I mean if i want to install the Mac OS or Vista, sure I will need a seperate partition, and in this case, pref. physically! On that note, has anyone manage to install Mac OsX in thier VAIO as I am planning to try it.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jul 2007 16:02:37 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/different-raid-modes/m-p/139153#M72423 AceCobra1 2007-07-05T16:02:37Z Re: Different Raid modes? https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/different-raid-modes/m-p/139154#M72424 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The main advantage is the speed as you can read or write both drives very quickly (almost twice) but the main disadvantage is that if one drive fails you lose all your data. This is because the data is writen in "stripes" across both drives.<BR /><BR />Here is some information about <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID#Standard_RAID_levels" target="_blank">RAID</A>. You are able to do RAID 0 and 1. Personally i would go for 1 and then you have an automatic backup if one of the drives gives up, the draw back being that you only have half the space <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.com.mk/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /> <BR /><BR />As i understand it, it is not possible to install OSX on a pc as apple include a particular chip that it checks to make sure its a proper apple machine. Try it and see and let me know if it does work.<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.com.mk/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /><BR /><BR />EDIT: Have a look at <A href="http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/01/18/PearPC.html" target="_blank">this</A> for getting OSX to work with a PC (It is in a virtual machine)<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 06 Jul 2007 07:03:45 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/different-raid-modes/m-p/139154#M72424 MattWilson 2007-07-06T07:03:45Z Re: Different Raid modes? https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/different-raid-modes/m-p/139155#M72425 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>No no... not planning to run through an emulator..
