That way you can move the card and drives to another PC without losing data. There are motherboards with onboard SATA RAID controllers, but moving arrays to a different board is a problem unless the other board has the same RAID chip. The "downside" is that PCIe hardware SATA RAID controllers tend to not be cheap. Last I looked it was also hard to find them with all *internal* ports, lots out there with two internal and two external. I have a 500GB SATA II RAID 5 array that cost me around $200, but I snagged the controller on eBay and the drives are refurbished Seagate OEM 'white label'. RAID 5 is the best compromise among cost, speed and data security. It spreads parity data across all the drives so if any one drive dies it can be replaced and the data rebuilt. RAID 0 stripes data for performance but if any drive fails all the data is gone. Windows XP has software RAID functions, but what it calls RAID 5 is really RAID 4 with all parity data on a single drive. Functionally similar to RAID 5 but if the parity drive fails the array operates as RAID 0. > DVD drive is excellent but dump Nero.

You can do a custom install of Nero, installing only the burning program, but then you still have to hunt down and kill Nero Scout, for which there is no option to NOT install. A very good FREEWARE alternative is Infra Recorder. It puts the data on the disc. What more do you really need?
