Hey All,
I've read many threads on how to configure drives but since my budget is low right now, I have to make the best with what I have.
Here is my setup currently:
Tray1: OEM 1TB WD Black (Raid0 with Tray 2 as 2TB)
Tray2: 1TB WD Black (Raid0 with Tray 1 as 2TB)
Tray3: 1TB WD Green (Scratch)
Tray 4: None
External: 2TB Hitachi 7K2000 as Time Machine (But have yet to set this up)
Additional HDDs used as manual backups (but can change them if I can come up with a better and efficient backup scheme):
Backup1: 1.5TB Seagate
Backup2: 320GB WD HDD (From old 2007 iMac)
I read that it may be better to partition tray 1 and 2 to multiple partitions and have the primary partition be the boot and other as data such as content like photos, music...Also I'd like to have at least one HDD as a monthly manual bootable backup to stick in the safe deposit box.
This computer will be used for both my wife's home graphics designs/wedding business as well as for personal use.
Anyone give me additional help. Since I just received this computer a week ago, I have yet to fully set it up.
I would appreciate all the help of you folks. Thank you in advance!
