[QUOTE="Noels, post: 703386, member: 49942"] satrop, I'd say if you're worried about data loss at all, don't do a RAID0. I agree with Chillbear that upping the RAM is your best bet for speed. RAID1 is good for backup, but I think externals are just as good... also, if you don't have a 7200RPM hard drive, that option would speed you up as well - or a 500GB Velicoraptor at 10,000RPM (sp?)... As for backup, I use 2 externals, one with Time Machine and one with SuperDuper (bootable backup). I back up every day or two, but with sensitive Photoshop data, let TM run full time, take a SuDu every day in addition. Noel [/QUOTE]
