The data drives that failed were from each PC.
These were both older (cheap) large capcity drives. They were both IDE My SCSI drives are older, and have never had problems. The SCSI drives store WinXP and program files (one drive for each) Large SCSI drives are expensive, so I chose IDE for storage. SCIS is faster, so I have 15k rpm (smaller drives) for WinXP and program files. |

SCIS is faster, so I have 15k rpm (smaller drives) Triple cost small 15K RPM SCSI HDs only outperform single top [S]ATA HDs by a small amount in video/photo editing performance. [S]ATA RAID 0 is big and inexpensive and blows a single expensive 15K RPM SCSI HD away in video editing and photo editing performance. You bought the myth of SCSI. |

The threat I am worried about is HD failure..
Why wouldn't 2 PC's cover this?? |

Maybe cause my SCSI drives are 15k and my IDE are 7.2k

He uses SCSI for the OS, not video. The prefered configuration for video/audio production is independent 7200 drives, not RAID 0. |

Common malware(virus/trojan/hacker/etc.) attack or theft or physical calamity to the room including lightening/power surge are primary threats to the HDs. OFFSITE BACKUP covers all these AND it covers a HD failure. |

Fishhead wrote in message oups.com... I have no back-up... unless I start buring to DVD... I could care less about an day/hour of work. It is the total drive Then completely automated backup to another drive is the answer. Best done overnight because otherwise the backup will be a significant load on the system while you are using it. Best done to a SATA drive because you can choose to unplug that, hot, if you say want to provide a bit more security against theft of the system when you are out etc. If you are confident that you cant be robbed and that the risk of fire and flood are very low, an internal drive would be fine. RAID is no use to you, its more hassle than its worth. |

They were both IDE OK, then it was likely bad luck that you lost 2 in 4 days. My SCSI drives are older, and have never had problems. The SCSI drives store WinXP and program files (one drive for each) Large SCSI drives are expensive, so I chose IDE for storage. SCIS is faster, so I have 15k rpm (smaller drives) for WinXP and program files. You dont actually need the higher speed for XP and program files. |

The prefered configuration for video/audio production is independent 7200 drives, not RAID 0. Even idiots get a true/false right half the time. |
