Sorry sort of a dumb question, but just trying to learn some more about computers. What exactly is raid 0 or 1?

It's basically "combining" hard drives. Let's say you have three 1TB 7200 RPM HDDs. Each of them has a sustained transfer rate of 100MB/s read and write.
RAID 0 gives you 3TB of total storage, and the transfer rate will be 300MB/s for both read and write. If 1 drive fails, you lose all the data.
RAID 1 gives you 1TB of total storage, and a write rate of 100MB/s, but a read rate of 300MB/s (depends on controller). The data is redundant, so 1 or 2 drive failures doesn't affect the array.
