RAID 0 has more points of failure than JBOD. Pretty much all of my computer crashes have been hard drive failures, so I'd rather lose half my data than all of it. And I don't think I need much of a performance boost anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Could you add one more 3 TB drive? Then you can do raid 5 or 6 and have all of your data survive the loss of any one drive.

Not in this enclosure, no. That's a whole different price point.

I'd pick raid 1 and live in the cramped confines of 3TB.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I went with raid 1.

I'm still playing around at this point, but I am not sure I want to eat the disk for RAID1.I have 2+TB of storage here to be backed up already. There'd be no versioning!
Well, it's all play for now. I'll commit to something over the weekend.

Iomega is sending me a new cable. I can't imagine how the cable that I've been using all this time with no problems suddenly went bad, but I'll be glad if that fixes the problem.

If you go with raid 1 you could use a backup system that backups to zip file. That give you back the space you lose and since zip is non proprietary you can recover even if backup software is not available. Yeah, I know time machine really is better.

I'm just going with out of the box compression. I have no interest in a third party backup tool. I'm already going to have to work something out for the Debian box.
