Can't say. Somewhat new to this stuff too.

Redundant Array of Independent Disks... which means it's a system of "more than one drive".
RAID0 = striping. File is broken up into pieces and put on more than one drive. When the computer needs to read a file, it can utilize the speed of more than one drive. Pros: Faster performance, especially for large files. Two 200GB drives will still give you 400GB of space. Cons: If one of the two drives goes down, the whole system goes down.
RAID1 = mirroring. copies the data to 2 different harddrives. If one quits working, you've got a second copy. Pros: Almost impossible for you to lose your data. Cons: Two drives, same capacity. E.G.: Two 200GB drives in RAID1 = 200GB of space.
Other common types of RAID: 1+0 (combination of the two above), 0+1 (not as good as 1+0, but more common), and 5 (complicated. expensive.)

Someone else will have to answer this one for you. :p
