an unfortunate way to learn about the vulnerability of RAID. my two cents: I'm a television editor and the use of raids for storing and quickly accessing massive amounts of video/audio media is commonplace. what's also commonplace is Raids failing. Every company I've ever worked for has gone through failed raid arrays.
In television, the media on the raid drives is always expendable and therefore we don't back it up. the source tapes can always be re-digitized if something goes wrong with the computer. but with personal media it's very different. It sounds dull but being paranoid and contantly backing up personal media is a must for peace of mind and to minimize the headaches when those drives eventually fail you. -- exile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31963 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
