Here's my plan,
I'd like to implement RAID 0 for the performance boost and start using my old 500 GB IDE drive (recycled from my old rig) strictly for backup storage.
I'm figuring a pair of 250GB-ers (or less depending on price) should do the trick
Then, I can just configure Acronis to backup the stripe set on the IDE drive periodically incase the array ever fails...
Can anyone recommend some good cheap (I know, good and cheap together in a scentence - LOL!!) drives that are SATA 300?
ALSO,
Is there a significant performance difference between the 8 and 16 MB Cache drives when they are in a RAID setup?
Thanks,
JR..
