If your data is valuable enough to send to a recovery center for $1,000, then it's valuable enough to add a mirror for $100. Go crazy and make it a 3-way mirror. $200 There's never a situation where the drive recovery option is a good choice. All such failures could have been prevented for a fraction of the cost via redundancy and/or backups. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
