be. One area that it would be interesting to see, for home/SoHo users is to build a RAID inside a workstation, using on of the new motherboards that support up to 10 SATA devices. You could easily allocate 4 of them to your RAID setup for ackups etc, keeping...

8400 was the machine to buy. > Is the Raid hard drives, two hard drives or one hard drive partitioned off? It depends on how you want to set it up. There are different types of RAID setups depending on what you need it for. For everyday use, you don't...

or would the RAID 0 setup be even better? I was looking at my manual and it has this listed for the hard drive specs. I'm new to 'hardware' stuff but I'm assumig I can only add 2 400gb hard drive max correct? It's not possible for me to use 2 x 500gb...

it sound like an issue you might encounter when buying a new hard drive today - which is false. Also, suggesting that a 5000 rpm drive is adequate is a little reckless. Very few 5000 rpm drives are up to the job. The whole discussion of FAT16/32 NTFS is...

is that you can recover from a hard drive failure quickly. It is for servers that can't afford any down time. Recovery from a hard drive failure is just moments. Fortunately hard drives do not fail often. Mean time to failure is claimed to be...

MediaShield Setup Wizard pop-up continues to pop-up, so what do I do ? Thanks for your patience and consideration with my post. AC It appears you only have 1 hard drive, RAID should not be an option.... weird. It might just be setting up the spanning...

cheaper than the SSD. But from you've said and a previous poster, forget about RAID. Put OS and games on low latency drive and the rest on a standard drive. Since my board doesn't support SCSI, then VelocioRaptor would be the choice the low latency drive,...

1. I really might need to go array (RAID 0) because intensity pro recommends an array. Actually, it requires atleast 8 HARD DRIVES in one array. That is kinda crazy so I will call black-magic tomorrow to get proper info. If they do require 8 hard-drives in...

uses software raid 5 without losing my raid setup between a celeron 466 and a athlon 64 3700. I was thinking about just a cheap 4 port sata controler without raid support and (4) 300GB+ hard drives. That way I will have all the space I will ever need *brings...
