Becareful Of using SSD drives for important data

[keloooe]

So you have a RAID on your RAID? Don't you think that may be overkill, Pest? A bit too raidical, perhaps? Hehehe.

I don't tend to think of it as RAID cause RAID isn't a backup system, but the second SSD is backup, not mirrored.

Actually, Pest. RAID is a type of back up. Hence the word 'Redundant'.

Lozza are you saying the Pest is redundant ? He hasn't been a big enough Pest ? haha

Nope, it is not. What RAID actually does differently from a backup system is if one drive fails, the next drive is put to use immediately. If I delete something off a drive, it is removed from drive 2 as well. It would be nice of RAID was a true backup system, but it is classed as a redundancy. I totally see how it is misconceived as a backup system, i thought that too for a while!
