Why make a RAID 0 array for backup? Seems funny to me. I'd rather have Either RAID 5/6 or atleast RAID 1 with backup drives.

I have to agree there, backup should always use a mirroring version of RAID.

That wasn't because of the Raid 0 tho. It was because I'm as patient as a Galapagos Turtle tryin hump da wabbit and deleted the degraded array before checking the connections. Thought I lost a raptor, lol, oops my bad :D
