    What RAID option is best for me?

    Speed/performance is not what I'm after here. I just want the files that I download to drive D for example, at the same time it coppies itself to drive F so I have a backup of that file in 2 different HDD's in case 1 fails on me. So, RAID is not the right option for me then? I've thought...

    5.35" to 3.5" HDD rack?

    Sure, this is Left side, right side one, two. The case is a no-band type case. The thing I don't like about the CM cage, is it doesn't have that neat cover with the filter inside it like the Lian-Li unless they sell those covers by themselfs toattach to any cage?

    5.35" to 3.5" HDD rack?

    I've checked the icage, but it takes up 3 spot for 3 HDD's though. It was the first thing I saw, but now there're other options to think about. Looks like the silverstone one is not out yet since I can't find any info about it on google.
