I really like what I have read about the data security of a RAID 1 setup but afraid that is way out of my league. Will mostly be using to store & edit family home videos & photos, plus some restoration of sentimental pix. Also music & movies, etc. Just don't want to lose the family stuff once I get started so ... Hope I asked the right question in the right forum... BTW...will be building around: Intel E8400 ASUS P5Q Deluxe 4G DDR2 1000 EVGA 8800GT ASUS Xonar 7.1 wasn't real sure what to ask or how to ask it when I first joined...Hope I am getting clearer This post has been edited by fish_out_of_water: Jul 4 2008, 11:40 AM -------------------- when all is said and done, there's nothing left to say or do...
