I didn't realize that. Maybe I should just buy another drive |
| 11 |
identical to mine and run RAID0. That would be cheap, twice as fast, |
| 12 |
twice the capacity, and with some amount more heat and noise. I have |
| 13 |
a separate backup system so I'm not worried about data loss. |

I'm interested to hear from anyone who can comment on the perceived |
| 16 |
noise increase involved with going from one drive to two. This system |
| 17 |
is in the living room and the current hard drive can be heard from the |
| 18 |
bedroom. |
