If we can come up with a $100 to $200, we should definitely get two
drives and mirror them.  I dropped two Seagate 320GB SATAs in my
server at home in a Linux software RAID1, and it's plenty good for my
purposes.

how long did it take to initialize the mirror? i replaced a 500 in a box one time and it took over 2 days to finish mirroring the existing data. :)

These new drives promise 3.0Gb/s throughput. Is that read or write or what? I don't know, but it really shouldn't take that long to move 500 GB of data!


Hmmm... NewEgg.com will get us two 320 GB drives of this type for $160 (free S/H):

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

Which is cheaper than I thought. We have to know exactly which type of drive our system wants.
