Here's how I do it. I have three machines in my office. 1] Bookkeeping, old and slow doesn't need to be new and fast, 1drive with redundant back-ups to jump drives. Not connected to the net never will be. No risk to financial data to virus or external hack. 2] Office machine, new, screaming fast 3GB ram, single monitor, 3 SATA drives, 1-C Drive80GB, smallest I could get in Namibia, 160GB D-Drive Data, 160GB E-Drive, music and photos + External IDE 250GB for backing-up everything. Only machine connected to the net. 3] Photo-machine, Blistering fast, 4GB Ram, dual monitor, 80GB C-Drive, mirrored Raid 1, 320GB SATA drives for photo storage, 160GB SATA drive for Music files, external 1TB firewire back-up. No risk to data to virus or external hack. All the Drives on my office machine and photo machine are rack mounted so I can pull them and put them in the safe when I leave the office for extended periods. I do not partition drives, Storage is cheap, files are big. Christopher L. Johnston Johnston-Namibia c.c. PO Box 354 Omaruru Namibia <mailto:chris@...> chris@...
