Greetings ... I intend to use RAID IDE to replace old, slow and problematic tape backup. This is just theory at the moment, and I would like you to help punch wholes in my idea ... Using normal IDE drives (3), USB 2.0 and an external housing and 5.25" mobile racks (2), I am playing with creating a RAID 1 setup. If I remove one of the IDE drives from my RAID system. Could I put it way in a safe and use it as a backup?
