I want a Raid 1 solution for my media collection. I boot from my Intel SSD, and my mobo doesn't have Raid capabilities (to my knowledge).
I don't know anything about RAID, and since I'm not booting from these drives, I don't know what guides to look at. I want something that's easy to setup, easy to fix if a drive fails, and puts my mind at ease.
I have 2x750gb drives I could use, but I might want to upgrade to 2x1tb or larger.
I will use itunes, foobar, and media player classic to play content from the drives. Do they need to be fast (Like Samsung F3 drives?) or would the slower 5400rpm 2TB drives be ok?
I'd be using my SSD to boot and a 640gb WD for a "scratch" disk, so the raided drives would be purely separate for my media if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Wyatt
