yeah, RAID1 is fine. I just want to recover from failures, and it seems like you can't trust inexpensive drives anymore.
the smallest drives out there are something like 60Gigs aren't they? That's more than I need by probably more than 40G. with that much space I could partition the drives into 10G segments and use most of them in some kind of staggered backup scheme. here's what I'm looking at now... mini-barebones: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16856150121 2 SATA seagate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822148040 512M kingmax: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820156005 Sempron 2300+: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819104209 with shipping it's just under $400 - Ben On Wed, May 18, 2005 at 02:49:19PM -0700, James Washer wrote: > $300 with RAID??
