I think raid 0 is probabaly as safe as it gets. Once you spread the data, then I agree things could get exciting. There is a chance of the OS peeing on your data.
I hav e a Seagte external for backup, but I have nothing that c an handle 3T. However it took me a while to fill up the 6 00 Gbytes on my system. (Four 300G drives in RAID 10.) I finally went digital with a 5D Mark II, so I figure I will be filling the drives at a faster rate. Live View is certainly better than a magnifier on the viewfinder. - -----Original Message------ From: Tony Sleep Sender: fi lmscanners_ow...@halftone.co.uk To: li...@lazygranch.com ReplyTo: filmscanners@halftone.co.uk Subject: [filmsca nners] Re: Advice on scanner settings Sent: Feb 25, 2009 6:24 PM On 26/02/2009 li...@lazygranch.com wrote: > I just bought three 1.5 terrabyte drives RAID can add resilience but no way can it be considered safe, so don't forget the other 4! Here I have: 3 x 1TB RAID3 = 2T B 2 x 1TB for backup (on another LAN PC) 2 x 1TB for of fsite backup. So that's 7 x 1TB for 2TB of storage. I don't trust HDD's much. -- Regards Tony Sleep htt p://tonysleep.co.uk ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ U nsubscribe by mail to listser...@halftone.co.uk, with 'un subscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_dig est' (as appropriate) in the message title or body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to listser...@halftone.co.uk, with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
