Will Be Inactive For A Few Days Earlier today a power surge blew my PSU and also took out my vid card and hard drive. The one time I take it out of the surge protector to move my room around ;/ I was going to steal my sisters system until I logged on and found it to be a 1.6 single core AMD, 512 ram and with some balls onboard graphics that can bearly stream HD youtube. I'll try sort it out asap.
Does your household insurance cover things like damage caused by power surges? Might be able to claim off that?
For me it's the notification balloon - "RAID access failure" Thankfully both times I've seen it were when I was messing around inside my PC with it on and hit one of the sata wires
I don't see why you'd want RAID though unless you just want it for speed, it can be quite problematic (under windows especially) IMO.
I've never actually had any problems directly caused by having a RAID in the 3 years I've had it though. I suppose I'm just incredibly lucky
I've yet to have a problem with my RAID (apart from the fact that I had to redo it because I set it up wrong), then again, I've only had it running 6 months
