  1. I'm building a new Win10 workstation for Cakewalk, and have been doing some testing of RAID1 (Mirroring). I've tried three scenarios: 1) Win10 native software RAID1 2) Win10 Storage Spaces 2-way mirror 3) Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) motherboard hardware/SATA RAID1. Note: In all scenarios, both drives in the mirror are Seagate Iron Wolf 7200 rpm. Test Cases: In each off the three RAID configurations above, I created a test Cakewalk project, armed an audio track, clicked "record", waited approx. 10-15 seconds, then unplugged the power cable to one of the hard-drives in the mirrored pair, to simulate a drive failure. In all three test cases, Cakewalk continued to run for approx. 3-5 seconds after the power was unplugged from the drive, then I got the classic "Audio Engine Dropout" message, and the Cakewalk application hung up for awhile. Objective: In a perfect world, I'd like to have Cakewalk keep running, recording to the surviving drive in the mirror pair, and be alerted so that I could replace the bad drive later, but allow the current tracking take to continue without disrupting Cakewalk (i.e. Audio Dropout + application hang-up). Glyph: I talked to Glyph today about their 2-drive solutions. Sounds like it's not a sure thing that Cakewalk would continue running with their mirrored pair arrays either--not sure if I want to invest in one to test or not, but might have to get a unit to test if I want to find out for sure. RAID 5 (or 10) options: I also wonder if perhaps a 3-5 disk array running RAID 5 (or perhaps RAID 10) might provide more continuity and not disrupt Cakewalk,/cause the Audio Dropout and application hang. I'd love to hear any experiences that folks have had using and actually testing RAID. Thanks
