i have 2X200GB and 2X160GB hard drives which atm are setup as a raid0 arry, after doing some reading i have found that this isn't the best setup as a single disc failure could wipe out the whole 650GB!!!!
would i be best off leaving it as raid0 and making sure i have everything backed up, or should i move it to a raid1 setup, i know using raid1 will only give me half the space, but will give me redundancy.
Although it shows as 650GB is not its about 613GB so i will only get 307GB, which i will use to store some of the backed up dvds i have been doing
Edit: after looking at what i have on here, i dont think 300gb will be enough 🙁 , think it might be a wiser idea to have them all as separate drives
