Um... you can get many 2tb drives @ $160... I don't see a ton of movement on this until more SSD options start coming down, but even then, the reliability of SSD's needs to get better before that happens as well..

6hdd failures in a short period of time with seagate have made me desire a western digital, and caviar blacks cost a crap ton online.

Dear Microsoft,
I don't need a backup storage solution when it's already there....
I need something that will prevent the registry from getting hosed during a fail restart from hibernate mode.
Oh, and being able to "recover" from a hosed registry automatically in WindowsPE would be nice too.

Thanks.

It's not RAID 1 or RAID 5, it's almost exactly mdraid + LVM, simplified and automated.
