Any other comments on the configuration, or does the rest of it look okay?

Only one :
Rather than using internal "HD: WD Caviar Green 1.5TB x2 (RAID1 for data)" you might as well place one of the Caviar Green on external USB or something like that and then just keep a copy to the drive manually - then in case of breakdown you'll have easy access to the data.
But this is simply a matter of preference, taste and style...
(Sorry got no more time - needs to go to the doctor...)

810042 2009-09-17 15:35:00 Reason for what was written in previous post is that I'm always suspicious to what will happen if a raid breaks down and also always suspicious as to if the harddrive interpretation is absolutely 100% exactly the same from one type/brand/generation/whatever of harddrive controller to the other (a not absolutely 100% similar interpretation could in theory lead to data loss or data corruption if moving the drive or something like that) .
This is a quite "old-fashioned" attitude to things - but when one have seen as much weird computer stuff, through the years , as I have then one tends to get attitudes like that though others might , to put it mildly , have a not very understanding attitude to my attitudes, ways and approaches......
