"Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks"

It's a very good thing... a RAID 0 array, like I have, is essentially twice the speed of a regular hard drive (with 2 10k rpm raptors, it flies ). RAID 1 offers redundancy, so it's good for keeping your data secure, plus you get a little performance boost. Both of those require 2 hard drives... RAID 10 requires 4, but you get the speed of a RAID 0 array plus the security of a RAID 1.

Just a standard CD drive?

For the money your planning on spending why not just go for a decent DVD Burner?

Or at least a CD-RW. $31 for a CD-ROM? That's kind of a rip off.
