[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 37722, member: 1"] I use a Raid 0 configured 15k SAS drives in my home computer, but that's built for speed more than anything. Is it overkill? Yes, its rare for anyone to run SAS drives in a home computer, but they're fast as hell. lol I'm with Anthony here on Raid 1 as a backup solution though. With it you won't have recovery from accidental deletion (because everything is mirrored immediately), system/virus corruption, physical damage to the computer, theft, power surge etc. The only thing R1 would be good for is if one drive has a hardware failure. However, if a drive does fail, then you don't have a backup anymore until you rebuild the array. If you do use Raid 1 definitely do not put the OS on it. I would use the spare drive in a usb enclosure and setup a backup program. [/QUOTE]
