Using Asus EZRAID - Span/Big option - your opinion

[DeadByDawn]

I was curious of anyone has experience with using this option.
I want to throw thow 150gb raptors as a big drive for storing photos and movies.

I was curious if using the SPAN option would introduce greater risk of data corruption.
I have a software mirror and want to minimize the risk of mirrorring corrupt files.

What is your opinion?

Thanks in advance

with a span it wouldnt give you a better chance of corruption of data but you are almost 2 times as likely to lose data as if you were running it on a single drive. When you span 2 drives, they are seen as 1 big drive. So if one fails everything that was on that "one" drive is all GONE !YIKES!
