Hmm, I was looking at it more as a High Availability than backup. I already have a 2TB external disk for backup. at least my experience so far with the current Caviar Blue 750G has been good (5+ years, no problems), The replacement is a Caviar Red so in theory it should be more reliable, maybe I can get away by not using a RAID ( dang, I really wanted to practice with one). I guess four partitions (OS1, replacement OS1, swap and data) where data=ZFS system instead of ext4 should be more than enough. On the other hand, do I REALLY need ECC memory to make ZFS work as this article suggests?
