Hello!
I have a laptop with 120G harddrive, 2x320G external harddrive, I
don't have a desktop.
Now I am doing something serious storing some huge historical data to
mysql database and want to have some better storage solution(I hate
the two external harddrives I bought 4 years ago, need to power them
on individually and connect with laptop each time I need to use data
in them).
I have two options
1, buy a desktop with 4x2T harddrives and use lvm on raid1, I need the
redundancy of data.
Why 4*2TB drives? Unless this is a MythTV server that's total overkill,
and more than you need to spend.
