People with RAID in music workstation...?

Hey. How many of you have a RAID array in your music workstation?

My harddisk went broken and I was thinking of finally building my computer from RAID 1. The basic SATA RAID that ASUS motherboards support building.

Any experiences...?

the way i look at it is more internal hard drives = more heat + more noise. i think you might be better off just being diligent about doing backups regularly. or maybe setting up an automatic job to do that for you.

My whole system is currently on Raid, which is silly and next time, just going to have MyDocuments of Windows on a separate hard-drive being Raid; so only important data is stored in multiple copies, whilst maintaining speed of the operating system on a single drive.

Raid will only serve to make your setup even more complex and loosing a disk in a raid array is NOT fun! If it´s for the speed boost get a good quality SSD instead and keep a backup on a conventional external HD

Forget RAID 1 for a music workstation.
Go for RAID 0 if you want performance and backup you project folder occasionally on a different HD.

And if you have 2 much money to spend, 2 SSD in raid 0 for your system and 2 big HD in RAID 0 for your projects and samples :=0
