I have optical drives, but they're IDE. Can I still use them in the new machine or do I need new ones? I might be able to swing $700. My b-day's next week and I'm expecting some money coming my way.
Also, I've never used RAID. What are the advantages of having 2 HDs in RAID 0? So they show up as a single 1TB hard drive? Also, if one fails, does the other fail too resulting in a massive loss of data?
