Thanks I needed that....why do people need to come along to point out
what is patently obvious? Misanthropy? Sadism?
When I set up the machine, I wanted to do a 0 + 1. The controller
required SATA to do this. My old computer was slow; I went with the
RAID 0. I shouldn't have. Two drives with back-ups would have been
better. I screwed up.
There, does that make you feel better?
