[TheForge] A little help please

[Justin Fellenz]

Lynn,

You might also consider runnig two drives in parallel, using a RAID
(redundant array of inexpensive disks) card. They're pretty cheap now
(like $60) as are disks, and then you dont have to back anything up or
lose what you saved since the last backup. It's easier than it sounds
and it's a slick solution. Happy to provide more info if you like>.
