[QUOTE="gizmo8899, post: 1159177, member: 170178"] I recently had an external harddrive crash, and lost a lot of data in the process. Because of that, I bought two 1TB drives in a RAID setup, and partitioned them into thirds. The people at the computer store suggested I do this, and I'm hoping it'll prevent another data loss. I was doing some reading tonight about RAID, and saw that it's usually used for servers, and wanted to see what others think about this. Will this give me a lot more certainty that my data won't crash? Or would it be better for me to not use RAID at all, and to back it up on my own, using the two drives manually? [/QUOTE]
