said by Somnambul33t:you should have just gone with an SSD and a storage drive and/or external backup. w7 has very good scheduled backup program built in and a single decent SSD will destroy even raid-0 v-raptors, let alone raid-1.
raid 1 raptors is silly. if you're gonna spend $500 on 'fast' hard drives, you could have bought less failure-prone drives for raid-0 and then scheduled daily/weekly backups to a 3rd drive. or, like i said, a $300 SSD and 2 mechanical storage drives for raid-1 or storage and backup.
glad you got the issue resolved, though
SSD is ok but it is not as fast as I wanted it to be! I have a 80 GB Intel SSD and it is quicker when booting up my pc, loading game levels and applications but that is about it. I won't be buying a new SSD anytime soon. Just not worth it in my opinion.
