I have Acronis True Image version 8. It's an older version, about 5 years old. This version allows one to clone drives. In my new comp, I have SATA drives. I'm wondering if this version of TI will clone this type of drive. I seem to get the impression from reading some posts in forums that...

However, I would prefer to set up a 3-drive RAID 5 array in order to get fault tolerance. Dell Tech Support stated that the built-in controller supports RAID...

I need to find a benchmark program that will measure transfer rates to individual hard disks, over all kinds of connections (IDE, SATA, USB, etc.). Something that's somewhat similar to memory testers which can also determine failure patterns, in addition to raw throughput. What's...
