In Topic: Media Center Add-in for Windows 8 Explained

08 May 2012 - 02:03 PM

Well, I will continue to use Windows 7 for my HTPC and see how things shake out with the Windows 8. My HTPC is mainly used to view TV (live and recorded). DVD/BD are watched via my PS3.

In Topic: RAID Question

Here is a quick update. I went with a $30 Rosewill RC-211 card since I was going to plug in two drives for a RAID 1 only. Only one folder has been moved so far as I want to run it for a few days to make sure there are no faulty drives or card before transitioning the rest of the data over. Cloudberry is setup to copy the folder contents to another drive just in case.

With the freed up 1TB drives, I will look at a external NAS where I can plug those drives into.

Thank you all for the input.

I ordered a pair of SAMSUNG EcoGreen F4 HD204UI 2TB 32MB Cache SATA drives from Newegg since they had a sweet deal. What sort of raid card should I go with? Are the cards in the $50-100 range good? Are there brands to avoid?

Thank you all for the input!

RAID 1 sounds like my starting point. It will allow me to "get my feet wet" with RAID and provide duplication. I will probably buy a RAID controller card to set it up. If my data needs grow to the point of a RAID 5, I can buy the hard drives and setup a RAID 5 with those drives.

I like the local external drive idea and will explore that as well.

I can look into Intel's RMA process when I get some time.
