In my quest to find the better service between Software RAID & Hardware RAID, I was caught RAID-handed among too many points and nitty-gritties of technical specifications and opinions. As a result of my explorations, I have developed a simple point-by-point structure to let you walk through this topic rather easily. First let us know what is a RAID and then we will delve into the details. According to wikipedia:
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks which is a technology that employs the simultaneous use of two or more hard disk drives to achieve greater levels of performance, reliability, and/or larger data volume sizes.

What if some terrorist uses your open wireless network to send terror emails or bomb threats? You will soon have cops swarming on your doorstep. Try convincing them that it was not you. At the least your whole life will be turned topsy-turvy and you will be in headlines all over the country and I assure you it won't be complimentary. So let me tell you some important but easy ways to protect your wireless network:
