OT Windoze should come on it's own partition/drive to make backups easier
Metspitzer
partition/drive, you could back it up automatically everyday. If the
boot disks fails you could change out the drive and in a matter of min
be up and running again.
You could even buy slower drives for support programs and spend a
little extra money for the boot disk.
They should work on making a small killer fast drive for the OS.
This also means if the boot disk is the one that fails, all the other
data is still in place and ready to go.

You can do that now with any hard drive you want. Just use imaging
software like Acronis True Image. The whole backup process can be
automated. If your boot disk fails, the replacement can be up and
running in a matter of minutes.

Yes, many people do just that.

Many people have been running two hard drives or more. It's not a new
idea. -Dave

Too bad you can't just grab a tree by the very tip-top and bend
it clear over the ground and then let her fly, because I bet
you'd be amazed at all the stuff that comes flying out.
