FROM RAID 0 TO A TWO HARD DRIVE SETUP
I GOT MY XPS ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND IT WAS AWESOME. THEN I KEPT READING HOW IF YOU HAVE A RAID 0 SETUP, AND ONE DRIVE GOES BAD, YOU LOOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA IF YOU DONT HAVE IT BACKED UP. WILL I WENT AHEAD AND GAVE RAID O UP AND JUST HAVE IT NOW AS A TWO HARD DRIVE COMPUTER. BUT I ALSO NOTICED THAT IT RUNS
JUST A TAD SLOWER THAN WITH RAID 0, OR IS IT JUST ME. I QUESTION WAS I THOUGHT DELL WOULD HAVE USED BETTER HARD DRIVES LIKE SEAGATE OR WESTERN DIGITALS RATHER THAN SAMSUNGS. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THEY MADE HARD DRIVES. I MIGHT JUST TRY AND GO BACK TO RAID 0. OR GO AND BUY TWO SEAGATES AND KEEP IT THE SAME WAY............SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT HARD DRIVES WOULD WORK BETTER? SEAGATE'S OR WESTERN DIGITALS???? THNX

will i have room for another hd? if so does it come with cables that i will need. and will my power supply be ok??- MY Dell came with seagate Drives 2 80gig 7200rpm sata drives. I installed 2 raptors and configured them in a raid 0 and used one of the seagtes as a back up drive, I use Norton Ghost and it creates a back up on the seagate drive twice a week and prior to installing something I make a manual back-up, what I like about ghost is you can still recover even if your machine wont boot into windows, you just boot from the ghost CD and it will allow you to recover your system from the drive that holds the back-ups, you can also create your own recovery set of CD's or DVD's with it if ya like. I think Ghost is the best back-up software out there
