Work Computer

[Kyle2278]

Hi,

 

My mums computer failed once again...

 

She has been using a laptop for many years now and after the harddrive failed again she has decided that she wants a raid system. The computer is used for all business related things like MYOB, Excel, Word etc.

 

The budget is $1000 but would be great to be around $800 and could also be exceeded if the benefits were worth it. This budget needs to include computer, monitor and mouse, also already have 2 x 500gb HDD and mouse

 

I am also from Australia

 

No OS is needed but will be windows 8 or 7

 

I have built many gaming computers but no work ones so just wanted a bit of help with picking parts.

 

Also what do I need to do Raid 1?

 

Thanks heaps

You would want RAID 1 on a work computer, not RAID 0. 

 

RAID 0 on a work computer doesn't make much sense to me, an SSD can be used instead.

Have you watched these yet? If not would I recommend watching them as a little help with first time RAID
