  - if i only use it for storage, not for working off of, is that a problem? -- nm - colin Nov 3, 12:19 5
    - The point was that if this happens, you loose all the data on the array. If you don't care about the data - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:20 4

        It is. The message is that because the drives are so large now, the time it takes to repair a damaged array when a drive goes bad - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:28 2
        
        okay. so i guess just keeping my external hard drives will be the way to go. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 12:32 1
        
        Those will fail someday too -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:40
