NAS Backup

Update, went to Microcenter today. It was my first time there and that place is extremely dangerous. I was like a kid in a candy store, I could spend thousands.

I ended up getting the i3-2100. I also decided to buy a Crucial M4 256GB SSD to replace my 2x1TB RAID1. I will move those drives (that are mainly used for media and steam games) to the server. I'll use the 256GB SSD exclusively for games and programs on my PC .

I also bought a 2TB HDD. I've decided to do a 1TB RAID1 for very important files and a 2TB drive for media. Both will be backed up to USB attached external HDDs that will be rotated. I think that will be enough redundancy for now.

Eventually I would like to have a RAID1 of 2x500GB RE4's for important files, but we'll see. The rest of the parts come tomorrow.

You just couldn't resist buying a 256GB SSD could you? I have purchased a few of these Crucial M4 drives and they have been good thus far. I have them in various notebooks and those systems fly with those drives in them.
