Creating a new personal system

After a long time by last system I'm now opening over with a new system build. I'm presently using Windows 2000 Professional and I may stay with that or go to XP. I'm not passionate about the installation restrictions of XP. I'm thinking of executing a simple 2 disk (80 GB each) Raid 1 for setup but I'm also doubting that's even liable unless the system disk is not a part of the raid system? I'm also concerned about making recovery more composite than it already is. I’m having an entire hard drive breakdown 2 years ago and paid some money for getting the data back which I did. I have presently had two partitions on a single drive with all of my data and application on the second partition. I also guessed that I could have a third drive just for the operating system and do a RAID 1 with the others. From there what I can collect so far this would signify that these drives would be revolving 24/7/365. That's noisy as well as draws a lot of power. Can somebody propose me with another solution beside the following lines:

I could live with a days lost data? So if I could get an automatic drive to drive copy occasionally and an automated "altered" data backup daily.
I'd also be willing to have a separate operating system disk if required.

Thanks

RAID 1 is protected, when a drive fails, you have a spare in computer. But no greatly performance enlarges in reads, but writes take a small hit. You just need not run it 24/7, untill you desire to have that access. I am also installing 4 SATA drives, two for RAID0 boot drive, two for RAID1 data files.

I'd also go with the 3 hard drives and run a Raid-5. It's very much fast in reading/writing as well as has the maximum responsibility tolerance. If you are making use of a hardware setup, then you must be able to span your operating system crosswise with the 3 drives. But you might also desire to just pull off the 2GB and then install your operating system there, Raid 5 the outstanding. All jointly you'll lose the 6GB plus the size of 1 HD for similarity. But if you run the 2 disks, for mirroring then it's simple to setup as well as when one drives fails, just break the mirror, pop your backup in and then rebuild the mirror with the help of a new hard drive when you can do it. But you will certainly fancy to run a hardware raid. The hard drives will always spin even when they are not in use. So with the help of a mirror, if you write something to your drive, then it'll write it to the 2nd drive also. It might not be a problem for which you're attempting to do and I would absolutely advocate either the Raid 1 or Raid 5.
