Hey guys,

Im thinking of setting up raid on my system....i think its RAID 1 i need?
The one that mirrors data across two hard drives?

what i intend to do is...keep my 250gb hard drive as the primary drive for my os/games....then buy a second 500Gb hard drive to raid with my current 500gb i have as storage so if one fails my data will be saved.

What do i need to achive this?

• does i need to buy another 500gb hard drive and one with the same cache? does it have to be the same make hard drive?

• Do i have to buy a raid controller card? if so are they all good?

This is what iwas looking at....
