I'm building a PC for a customer and I think I know what hard drive configuration I want to use, but wanted to bounce it off everyone. She has online backup so this is about quick recovery or redundancy via RAID1. I will also purchase Macrium to do an image backup. I think all her data and operating system will fit comfortably on a 500GB drive.
1. 250GB boot SSD + single spinning drive for data (OS image backup to spinning drive)
2. 500GB Boot/Data SSD + single spinning drive for image backup destination
3. 250GB boot SSD + RAID1 spinning drives for data (OS image backup to spinning drives)
4. 2 500GB SSDs in RAID1
I guess I'm going to pick option 4 since she doesn't have much data and everything will be on the RAID. Comments?
But what option would you choose if someone had a lot more data, making it too expensive to put it all on RAID1 of SSDs?
"Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow.
Modern man's daydreams have turned into nightmares.
