Absolutely great advice ... my 260 card just yesterday was no longer recognized by my boot drive. Uninstall, reinstall, reseat, no dice.

I swapped to my clone which was made once I had everything perfect.

Move over a few files and I'm up and running. I'll just clone back the current drive rather than try and troubleshoot the driver conflict.

I clone then unplug but have it still in the case. A couple of minutes and I'm back and running yet the drive isn't building up hours like a raid would. And the software error that messed my computer wouldn't have been helped by raid at all.

All hail clones.
