Raid...

[format]

I did a raid0 with 3 500gb drives about two years ago as a test.... was never mean't to be a permanent thing but I just got used to it as it ran really well... Also, I said I wouldn't store stuff on it but the temptation was just too great as I had 1.5 TB just sitting there screaming to be used...

Obviously, all was hunkey dorey, til it all went pearshaped a few months later and started displaying un-recoverable errors. But by that time, I had filled it with stuff and couldn't recover any of it...


why not buy a raptor for the OS for the speed, and then one/two 1TB for storage/backup??

Or an SSD for your OS and games

i was thinking of an SSD, but do they still have the 'write limit' and stuff like that?
and what sort of SSD should i go for?

i'd be looking for at least 60GB if i was going for SSD..

Dunno, that's outside my rather limited range of knowledge
I'm sure someone here can help you out though
