I create alot of video content on the side and my normal PC just doesn't have the harddrive space to hold everything, plus I'm concerned about fault tolerance. I was thinking about building a file server to store all my files on it since my PC doesn't have any room for a RAID setup inside.
Now, from my A+ knowledge it was stated that a RAID1 setup with duplexing (two HDD controllers) will give you better performance then mirroring (one HDD controller). I'm just curious if this is ture for real workd performance?
Also, would you say a RAID1 setup with two SATA HDDs using NCQ (Maxtor Diamond 10) would be perfect here, or would I just be wasting money and I should just go with normal IDE HDDs?
Thanks in advance!
