I didn't realize that I was looking at the wrong thing, thats why I brought it here. I figured it was outdated because I didn't hear about it, and just wanted opinions from everyone else.
So the educational takeaway here should be....
Look for assumptions that were made without a solid foundation. Then back up a step or two. The question should have been in two parts...
First: What is IDE?
Second: Is RAID Valuable in a Desktop PC Being Used Like a ServerFair Enough .

@scottalanmiller you said it was based on OS? Well this PC runs Windows 7.
Windows 7, like most operating systems, has RAID included by default.

Am working on Reimaging the PC Today, and creating Raid in Windows 7, before I load the image on it.

If you have two drives, that's the way to go. Windows RAID isn't good, but it's industry standard, well known, and doesn't tend to lose data. Unlike a lot of FakeRAID which can actually lead to data loss because it's not well audit or maintained (who patches that stuff!?)

It is imaging right now, created the raid as 'raid 1' as i was told to do so, waiting for the image to complete.

I stand corrected, according to our remote tool: this site is running Windows 7/ Server 2008 R2 . . .

Yeah. . . don't you dual boot your server to also act as a desktop for those down times?!

Those two are the same OS under the hood. Same code base. So lots of things detect them as the same. But they are not the same product. It's always one or the other.

Maybe thats where My Confusion is coming from: because it lists both, but as you pointed out they are the same under the hood, but not the same product.

yeah, it is listing the Windows NT version in a weird way.
That's Windows NT 6.1 which was available as Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

Yep. I believe its Windows Server 2008 RS. Because it kind of doesnt look like any Windows 7 i have used as a OS. But definitely looks like windows 7.. Just more.. Block I guess would be the best words for that?
Reminds me of XP but more updated and working way better.

Just look in the My Computer or My PC screen and see what the OS is.
