What would be the best thing to do?


If you want every bit of space out of the hard drives, the best thing is to use one volume per drive. If you use spanned volumes in Windows, or RAID 0, then the failure of one hard drive means the loss of all data on every drive in that array or span.

If you want redundancy, RAID 5 would be good for three drives, but you'd lose a third of your space for parity info. It means one drive can fail and you'll still have all your data. Two drives failing = bye bye all data. Any RAID array I'd be comfortable with for data I cared about would involve the loss of storage capacity.

Has everyone here upgraded to Windows 10 or are most of you still running 7/8? I upgraded without giving it much thought, but I'm thinking of going back to 8.1 if I can. If I download 8.1 and do a clean install, will that work?

If any of you are running 10, are you happy with it?
