So there I am, building a moss macro whilst my snow macro scene is rendering 
a demonstration of ice coating, and all of a sudden my computer reboots. I'm 
think: "ok, that was annoying"...and then the intel storage matrix ROM comes 
up, telling me that the drive on port 1 has failed and its rebuilding the 
volume. Wonderful.

So now I have to get a new 250gb HDD.

I have another open HDD bay, can I add another SATA HDD to the RAID1 matrix, 
or do I need two more?

This crap is why my computer is RAID1, which is backed up on an external 
HDD, which itsself is backed up on yet another external HDD.
It seems HDDs like to fail after about 2yrs of 12+hr a day use. Boooo!

What happened to those cool datacrystals they invented in the late 80's? 
They were featured on a show called Beyond 2000, and shortly thereafter all 
information about them vanished. Now most references to them you find via 
google arfe other people asking this same question. Maybe the gov't snatched 
them up?
