Chaos said:A 250gig Hitachi is around 4800 or so. Get two of them, mirror and have peace of mind
Chaos said:^^LOL if you mirror them, you'll only get 250
How can you both agree and disagree at the same time. He said get 2 HDD and MIRROR them, not use them together for 500GB. Mirroring means to replicate the data on both HDD via RAID. SO he still has 250GB even with 2 HDD.shado_chazzer_killer said:Are those that cheap. Well then i would get those over the WD n seagate. Agrees with Chaos. Get 2 of them n have fun. You will then have 0.5TB of storage.
It does. Looking at the probability of both drives failing at once as against the chances of a single drive failing, you would theoretically get data reliability that goes by several orders of magnitude by mirroring.dummyuser said:Hi - people , like i already said , i don't want want to mirror as it still does not provide that much reliabilaty ....
