But that is going too far I think for this query.
JDArt; Without doubt, use a backup solution, regardless of what you choose to do. Just remember, the faster you move data, the better your performance will be.  |
deleted my comment coz I was wrong
I thought stripped drives do not increase perfomance that much in reality but they obviously do.
