Raid your harddrives now!

[Sigma]

I just thought I'd give out a friendly reminder to raid your hard drives or have some other system for keeping a continuous backup.

I haven't worked on my 4Fort4 map in forever, but when my hard drive died I realized I lost it. I lost other irreplaceable files, but original artwork like that map was hurt the most.

So once again, please raid your drives. I would recommend buying 3 drives of the size 320GB or so and using raid-5. The latest motherboards have support for a psudeo hardware raid that you can boot off of it even in Windows (you can boot off of software raids in most Linux distros).

Regardless what you choose - please have a system in place for if/when your hard drive experiences a sudden death (I've always had hard drives die slowly on me until just last month)
