My reasoning for having the RAID system is I have to support this machine (well hopefully I can teach my son) but computers break at the worst times. I am just trying to save me time in rebuilding the unit. The unit is not in my house so that is why I want this as fault tolerant as possible. But I do have to keep price in mind. I'd rather spend a few bucks for some peace of mind.
Suffice it to say that I am not worried that my 7 year old Granddaughter will do something to break the computer. It is other people in the house that don't understand. She understands what she can do and where she can go on the net. On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 10:05 AM, Josh Smift <iril...@infersys.com> wrote: > FL> I wouldn't consider RAID for a child's machine.
