So guys, I am looking at some storage solutions for my new PC.

Right now I currently have a 1tb SSD that is gonna be my main boot drive / main gaming and reaction image drive.

And I'm looking to get a 5tb WD black for general storage.


My question is simple. What is the best cost effective solution for backups?

Is it worth it to get two 5tb drives and raid 1 them? Is it worth it to get a smaller drive and somehow back shit up in that? Or an external backup drive?


How do you guys handle your data backup, I do a lot of projects so backup would be important, I've never done backup before and I've been lucky not to have drive failure yet, this time I want to be more prepared if it does happen.

At what age did you truly grow up and you dumped Windows? When did you become computer-literate enough to dump the training wheels and stop being a computer novice? What OS did you upgrade to?

I'm 20 and I think I'm ready to stop being a wintoddler. Did I mature too late?

FAQ
>What is TempleOS?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT7yvaGN0ZU [Embed]
TempleOS (formerly J Operating System, SparrowOS and LoseThos) is a biblical themed lightweight operating system created over the span of a decade by programmer Terry A. Davis.

>Why does TempleOS exist?
Development for TempleOS began in 2003 after Davis suffered from a series of manic episodes that left him briefly hospitalized for mental health issues.

Davis is a former atheist who believes that he can "talk with God" and that God told him the operating system he built was God's official temple. According to Davis TempleOS is of 'Divine' intellect due to the inspired nature of the code. According to Davis, God said to create the operating system with 640x480, 16 colors display and a single audio voice. The operating system was coded in a programming language developed by Davis in C/C++ called "HolyC". The OS runs a file system called "Red Sea".

>What can TempleOS do?
TempleOS deliberately has no network support. It runs 8-bit ASCII with graphics in source code and has a 2D and 3D graphics library, which run at 640x480 VGA with 16 colors. The OS contains numerous embedded biblical references including a program called AfterEgypt which allows users to "communicate with God" through an oracle.
