Re: RAID array for home

Thanks all for the responses - opinion seems to be quite widely split,
doesn't it?

Redundancy is more important to me than speed, so I am now pondering
RAID 1 as the better option. It's a pity that people's experiences of
it here seem that it's not that reliable. I keep backups, but I don't
want to spend a huge chunk of time reinstalling Windows and all my
software then restoring my data from backup when I could just switch to
using the other working drive.

Perhaps I ought to look into taking an image of the drive every few
nights or something like that.
