Do you suggest that I put the voltage of the RAM to 1.8, 2.1 or the middle at 1.95 or something? I might actually be able to just pick up another set of RAM or something if I end up selling my OCZ and Adata.

IIRC most 1.8V memory runs at 2.1 without putting up a fuss, but I can't guarantee it. For best results, some guaranteed low latency Corsair might be an idea, but I won't force that upon you.

I think I'll try the 2.1v and see how overclocking goes. Whats a good memory stability tester?

I believe Orthos has a joint CPU & Memory stress test.

So, drive failure is attributed to mechanical failure...WD is going to replace the drive ASAP but still need to recover data (Photos, Video, MP3s, docs, etc.).
Anyone have any recommended places to have this done that won't be excessive in costs?...I'm hearing on average it runs about $500 but perhaps even as low as $299

$279 is pretty impressive. It's usually £300 or more in this country.

So, yeah, going with the Aero company after an exhaustive search for economical data recovery...Found a few online reviews of the work they do too and so I'm going to take a risk and try them out...$279 for what they deem 'standard' service that can take 3-5 days as opposed to 'priority' at $1200 for 24 hour turn around.
They do charge for return shipping, additionally, and try to get you to buy one of their portable HDs to upload the recovered data...Although, they did allow me to send my own as long as it was USB powered.
We'll see how it goes...Fingers crossed

Curious if anyone might be able to point me in the direction of how to set up a pair of backup HDs in RAID format to use as a 'double backup' to my Master, for the future.
The more I read and research about HDs, seems that drive failure is simply (And surprisingly) a fact of life...That applies to external backups as well, apparently.
So, someone recommended to me to try and set up a RAID backup system and so I was wondering how I might be able to do something like that.
My M/B apparently is capable of RAID configurations...Just curious what the steps might be or if there is a tutorial of some kind.
Gratzie

RAID1 is what you'll want for absolute backup, unless you have a lot of hard drives. It's usually relatively simple to set up using RAID software as long as you aren't putting your OS on the RAID array.

I have 1 Master Drive of 150GB with the OS and, currently, 2 backup (Storage) HDs of 320GB each...I figured a RAID backup of 2 150 GB HDs would be the proper thing to do...Would that still be RAID1?

And does having too many HDs connected tax the Master Drive or CPU?

Under normal circumstances no. Copying files to all of them simultaneously will use significant amounts of CPU usage under Windows, but at idle they don't cause a problem. Be advised though that software RAID (i.e. using RAID unless you have a very expensive RAID card) uses lots of processing power when it's transmitting data.
As for the level of RAID, this is something that you decide, it could be RAID1 or RAID0 with two drives, but do yourself a favour and use RAID1.
