I’m paranoid about RAID for reasons like this… It may not be as good, but I just rsync what I need backed up… Not that that helps any right now. Good luck on the motherboard hunt, and yotsuya’s suggestion of contacting Gigabyte might actually be a good idea at this point.
The RAID is for speed, working with files that require 2.88GB/s transfer rate to maintain realtime playback is the main issue. In this case it isn’t about redundancy, just about transferring data at decent rates so you aren’t waiting on the I/O constantly.
Oh right, sorry, just kind of assumed for a bit there that RAID for storing scans that are so expensive to acquire would be for redundancy, but you’re totally right about access time for actually working on them, I should have put that together sooner. So, how are you doing when it comes to redundancy? Do you have backups of at least the original scans on external hard drives? With the amount of calamities that seem to befall you, you may be best having offline backups that are not connected to power whatsoever, maybe even in a safe, or vault… located in a panic room… underground.
