[QUOTE="wiggums, post: 25445, member: 13390"] After yet another complete SATA RAID0 stripe failure (due to power failure) I would like to know what other HDD setups others are using out there? I have 2x 200G SATA (hardware RAID0) drives with a single Partition running windows XP. I thought this would be the best way to best way to maximise space for recording. However it seems chkdsk after a power failure screws up the stripe set.... searching the net this seems to be a common occurance. I'm now looking at getting a small 5minute UPS to avoid power issues but was wondering am I going about this the right way. I'm not concerned too much with loosing the movie files after a system crash but rebuilding the OS is painful.
