Hi Folks..
Sorry for not being around the last couple of days. One of my HDD's in my RAID 0 setup was failing and finally died on Friday. I had most things backed up it's just taking a while to reinstall everything (how many Windows updates are there ffs..) and move things back.
I'll be making progress on some of my outstanding items (vid's and BF3 info for front page) over the next couple of days..
Shoot you once the 15gb has downloaded.. Thank goodness I'm on 50mb now!!

Could be "L"
Could be "N"
you decide

Ninja - you have my sympathy. I had a 1TB drive (manufacture date: Oct 2010) die last Thursday. Fortunately the rig I built at the end of 2010 has a RAID5 array, so I pulled the disk and put a new one in the next day (£90 lighter :( ) but lost nothing, other than time.
If you can spring for the disks, three smaller disks in RAID5 can work out faster and safer than two mirrored and much better than one alone.
