Hey guys, I'm going to be updating my storage situation in the near future since I am rapidly running out of space.
Currently I have two mismatched 250gb drives running in Raid-0 which holds my OS and programs/games and then a Hitachi 7k1000 750gb for data and backup of the raid array.
Seems to work quite well, although the Hitachi is damn near full.
So, I need more space for data!
I considered getting another Hitachi 7k1000 750gb and running them both in Raid0 for 1.5tb of storage, and then keep my OS/programs on the 2x250gb drives, but I am not sure I would like to trust all of my data on a raid array.
Should I get rid of the two mismatched 250gb drives and load my OS onto the 750gb and pick up maybe 2x 1tb drives and raid them? Then save a backup of that onto the OS drive?
Or another option could be to get two more of the Hitachi 7k1000 750gb drives and run a raid-5 with 1.5tb of usable space.. and reliable.
What would you do??
