Greetings from Ireland !
I'm about to order a Sager 9860, and have one or two questions to ask:
Spec is:
P4 2.6GHz
2GB RAM
2 x 80GB SATA Drives with RAID 0/RAID 1
CDRW
DVDRW
etc.
1. I work as a programmer. I really want a fast machine so RAID 0
with 2 x 80 5,400RPM SATA Drives seems like it could be a candidate. The
catch is ... I can't really afford to have HD failure. Would I be better with
RAID 1 or are the HD's reliable enough not to worry about it, and how big
a speed difference exists between RAID 0 and RAID 1? Am I right in saying
RAID 0 = 2 x 5,400RPM (roughly), while RAID 1 is 1 x 5,400RPM.
2. Do the Targus bags (I think it was 312) fit the 9860?
3. Anyone know of shipping times to Europe/Ireland?
4. Where did sacrificing banana's come from ;o)
BTW - Excellant Forum and Very Helpful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
