What do you do that you would think RAID would be a good idea? How much
data do you generate? What I do is have two hard drives in my computer and
I develop software. When I'm done with working for the day, I copy the
project over to the other hard drive (only takes a few seconds) and I have a
complete, seperate, backup.

I also do photography so I have many photos, I do the same thing, copy data
to the other hard drive. Takes a few seconds to initiate the copy then let
it go. If my either hard drive fails, I have a good backup. You most
likely don't need RAID. I did like the article and it gives good advice.
