I've been tossing around the idea of an adequate tape backup for about 70 GB of data, but good DLT and DDS-4 drives are bank-breakers (not to mention the cost of the tapes) if you're not an IT shop with a nice budget.
So, I'm looking for a more cost-effective solution like a RAID 1 card that I can plug in and then attach two IDE drives. I'm not looking for a new motherboard because the one that I have works fine. (I can't use a processor upgrade as an excuse since it can handle up to an Athlon XP 2700+ and I already have an XP 2400+ installed.)
This will be used with Windows 2000 Professional, and the drives will be data drives (E, not boot drives.
Suggestions on cards to do this?
