We've grown to respect him as .:no help:. and then this IT consultant's hard drive crashed and he lost years worth of data.
Of course, what is the first thing he reinstalls? COD UO. He has been a stealth killer fighting as "Unknown Soldier" for a couple of days and last night he was inspired by the name "Delagator." Give him some time and he may get around to reinstalling his spell checker and then perhaps we'll get to know him as "Delegator," but whatever he goes by, show him respect as he is one of the best out there. -HammaTime |

I've never bothered with RAID0 striping. The newer 7200rpm drives are fast enough for me. As long as you have good backup images of the drive, it's not a large risk. I prefer to have multiple independent drives rather then one large RAID array on the workstation level.
For instance, when I do video editing, I source the video off of one drive and write the output to a 2nd drive. That keeps both spindles fully occupied without the heads thrashing back and forth trying to both read and write. My O/S and apps are on a completely separate drive to make sure they stay out of the way. (That PC has 5 physical drives in it right now.) -------------------- |
