Not sure if useful to you, but the RAID setup I have was very cheap indeed. I only use RAID 1 (mirroring) so I only need 1 extra disk for the array, in addition to any disks for actual backup. I used a super-cheap RAID add-in controller from eBuyer: £10 or so.
So if you can afford the extra disk for your RAID array, the additional cost of the add-in controller is pretty small. In fact, most new motherboards come with built-in RAID controllers, so you may be able to get around the cost of the RAID card. Mine's an IDE RAID controller, but I understand that SATA controllers can be had for around £15. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mflint Sent: 11 November 2005 09:17 To: [email protected] Subject: [slim] Re: How to reliably/easily backup 100Gb of FLACs? *snip* "Going RAID" is probably overkill for me (and it'd be hard to justify the expense to the 'Domestic Finance Director'). _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
