I have a non-business question. My GF needs a new PC; her current Dell is like 8 years old, and is really slow with her Google Chrome and 30+ tabs open (yes, I've told her to try not keeping so many tabs open; no, she won't change her behavior ...)
Anyways, I'm looking at a HP Pavillion 570-p30 (that's an I7-7700 CPU, 16G RAM, 256G SSD). Her current machine (Dell Studio XPS 8000) does have mirrored SATA boot drives (I ordered it that way). I did it for safety, not backup (we do backups to an external HD via scheduled task and SyncToy). It doesn't appear that I can do that with this HP machine, doesn't looks like there's enough SSD connectors, although I haven't been able to confirm that. My question - do I even really need to mirror the boot drive? Do you folks do mirrored drives at home? Or am I just being overly cautious? (I don't have one on my own desktop, just a single SSD boot drive. I do have mirrored data storage drives, for photos, etc. Again for safety). (at work, it would never occur to me to spec out a server that didn't have mirrored boot dives. But this isn't a server ...)
