Thanks for that Criggie, I had a look at the new storage groups, that
does help with multiple drives but doesn't give me the redundancy that
a RAID5 gives me. However, RAID5 is not the ideal answer either because
when their is an unclean shutdown of any sort, the array takes a long
time to re-initialize (it has to check every sector of every drive,
however it does do it in the background taking some % of CPU time). <br>
<br>
As mentioned above, I do have the OS on a separate drive. In the
interim, I may use the storage groups to add an additional drive and
backup what I need to the "OS" drive like I am doing now (I am not
interested in backing up any recordings at this stage, though I do
backup the database from time to time..)<br>
