Intel and Laptop RAID?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-my-laptops-do-always-lose-hard-drives dept.

Might E. Mouse writes "The next version of Centrino, codenamed Napa, will support RAID. Intel is pushing it as a great way for business users to have added reliability and data backup on their work notebooks. Should boost gaming performance too. Anyone for 2.5GHz Pentium M, GeForce 7800 Go graphics and a 200GB RAID array? "

    You can carry multiply 256MB sticks with you [or a CD] and just have alternate sources.

    When I give a presentation the slides are on a USB key, a CDR, two different websites and my email account. That way the likelyhood of me showing up with nothing to show is next to nothing.

    A second hard disk won't help you if the laptop won't boot. You need copies of the material you can access without the laptop otherwise what's the point?
