PC to NAS - Part 2 - How does RAID actually work?

After putting the hardware together in part 1, then installing Windows, I choose which RAID level to run and explain how RAID 1, RAID 0, RAID 5and RAID 6 actually work, and how (some) of them can survive the loss of a hard drive. Using the explanation of *how* the RAID levels work we can predict the performance which we then check by running benchmarks.
