Some of you may remember me mentioning that my system drive in the rehearsal room computer / "studio" computer will probably crash soonish. I was thinking about getting an SSD instead but it is still too early in my opinion, so I have a final decision to make before ordering some parts.
I already have a Western Digital 500gb in that computer which acts as storage right now. I'm thinking of buying another, and running them in RAID. Does anyone have any experience with RAID setups for audio production? Is it a big no no, is it risky? Or is it simply godlike and a must-have if possible?
My main concern is stability... and I've heard a few things about RAID setups so I don't want to risk anything. I can always mixdown some tracks together if I get too many of them in my projects, but I can't always recover from a big mother fuckin' hard drive crash.
Your tips?
Cheers dudes!
