737223 2009-01-11 05:25:00 Hi, I am about to order parts to self build . :D

With the HDD setup . I thought:
1x SATA for the software (internal) .
1x eSATA for the photographs (external) . To prevent risk when not used it is turned off .

Also, 1x eSATA backup HDD used only once in the blue moon .

Is this ok, from my understanding eSATA is the same speed as internal SATA?


I decided not to get RAID . Mirror may backup my own mistakes . Stripe the risk may not be worth the gains . So I will just use 2x HDD separately and the 3rd as a backup drive .



Regards :)

737224 2009-01-11 05:39:00 i think so, SATA and eSATA are both SATA and SATA is for HDD and HDDs are supposed to be fast enough for pcs pcuser7895 (12979)

An excellent idea .

Although I'm not sure how a person builds oneself . . . . . . .
