Some people just have a lot off pron! lol
It acts as my home media server so everything sits on it backups, movies, series, music. It's also home to exhange and all the other usual server stuff. Everything is accessible all round the house gigabit hard wired or via WIFI for laptops
Well I dont like downtime, as it usually happens when I have a deadline to meet!
But remember (hate to harp on about raid 1) that RAID 1 will repair itself as well and go on working if a drive fails...right?
Any RAID level with redundency will carry on working until you replace the disk, then it'll replicate RAID data to the new disk.
