so my hard drive failed...

Most mobos have a hardware RAID controller on them anymore. I picked up 2 640 gig SATA drives that I have running RAID 1 due to my complete terror over the concept of data loss. I classed that extra 100 dollars on the second drive as "mission critical" updates (tax refund last year).

lol I just got a DROBO and added a few hard drives into that. So, now if one of my Hard drives fail on drobo then the other hard drive in the drobo will have all the data on the crashed hard drive backed up.

 

I'm really anal about drive speeds, so I couldn't deal with having an external backup device. It's even worse if there is any sort of software interface that controls the actual backups. Not to mention, I've seen some horrible data corruption issues with high load servers that had shadow copy get too far behind the drives.

 

Though for effectively being a really sexy looking RAID controller with a box to hold drives, DROBO looks pretty cool. :P
