HDD's are pretty cheap too these days, setting up a RAID is a good idea, since the chances of more than one drive failing at the same time are pretty slim (unless its the raid enclosure that causes them to fail!)
Not necessarily print, just stick them on negatives. It's probably a far-fetched idea, though.
Question: if the RAID enclosure fails, can I just stick the drives in the failed enclosure into another RAID enclosure with all data intact? Obviously, I have zero knowledge about RAIDs and all.
