    If RAID0 is so bad, what do you suggest?

    I'm the past 10 years I've only had 3 HDs fail on me and these were desktop PCs. I've had a recent scare which has got me thinking about RAID-1 but I agree with what everyone else is saying here; RAID != Backup. I'm not truly running a 24/7 operation so I probably won't reach MTBF limit for a...

    If RAID0 is so bad, what do you suggest?

    Wow, thanks guys! I am always amazed at the helpfulness of the Anandtech community. So, I think I'll still push forward with the RAID-0 on my main PC. I'm assuming I can move to RAID 5 in the near future as Ka0t1x suggested without have to start from scratch, right? Also, yes, I'll do SW RAID...

    If RAID0 is so bad, what do you suggest?

    So, I've been reading on many forums and it seems to me that many people recommend against using RAID-0. Those that are 'ok' with it suggest software RAID-0 instead of HW based. Other say use ZFS... which I can't use. So, what are my alternatives if I want must faster disk access (and don't...

    It's Back--I7 920 for $199.99 at Micro Center B&M

    The Microcenter in Westmont, IL didn't have any D0's in the case as of yesterday although they had a bunch in stock. The sales rep said that all remaining were C0's. But all is not lost.... I went to Fry's in Downers Grove and they price matched. They do have D0 in stock. It took a while...

    Illegal Immigrant Driver bill passed in Illinois

    I am definately not a republican but I am for the Republic. They are right in this issue, but I don't think it's just a party line issue. It's more about their constituents who rely upon cheap, illegal labor. Plus there are large neighborhoods in just the Chicago-area which have quite a few...

    Illegal Immigrant Driver bill passed in Illinois

    I love to hear this. You are the prime example of what I'm talking about (The good stuff I mean). And yes, you deserve your money back... You might have to go to Iraq to get since that's where it all is, but you deserve it back. But you know why shite like this is passed? It's the face of the...

    Illegal Immigrant Driver bill passed in Illinois

    What's the point in getting a Visa anymore? Hell, what's the point in having passports, border security, IDs if none of it means anything. Additionally, we have laws barring certain actions. This just completely contradicts it. I'd be ok if it were a case of indentured servitude or slavery, but...

    Illegal Immigrant Driver bill passed in Illinois

    Ok... I'm not one for talking too much about immigration policy, etc. but this one just really pisses me off. The Illinois house just passed a bill to allow illegal immigrants to obtain a special driver's permit. ... Yeah... So let's see here. If you're an illegal immigrant and you get caught...

    Custom Windows XP Install?

    Quick question: I head there's an application to allow a custom install of windows XP. By custom, I mean you can add/remove drivers, applications before you start the install process. I can't quite remember the name of the app. Is it vTune or something like that?

    Affordable discussion forum software

    What kind of forum software is Anandtech running? I have similar questions, but might may be for commercial use. I am slowly but surely updating my website (http://inputreview.com/) and in the meantime, I want to put up forums. Is phpbb pretty easy to setup and maintain?

    Thinking of getting into Real Estate

    Research, research and more research. Also talk to other property owners. Maintenance will kill you if you don't budget and you don't know the right (reliable and affordable, not cheap and sometimey) people. Owning property and renting is tough. Buying and flipping may be better. Flipping has...

    Anyone use the MSI MPC 51PV SFF (Socket AM2)?

    I'm getting ready to purchase a system for my gf for christmas and I'm stuck between building one or buying one from Dell. She's seen a few SFF systems and likes them because of their size; the catch is, they're kinda expensive. On the flipside, Dell is always an option because they tend to...

    No seriously.. Think about it Big bird = big ass yellow bird Chocobo = big ass yellow bird Big beaks, big legs... He was the first, the new chocobos are high evolved but they lost the ability to speak. Say what you will, but you can't deny the similarities.

    AOpen XC Cube MZ855-II: Socket 478 or 479?
