I don't need two terabytes, where I never even needed one terabyte, so, I
guess I'm going to learn how to RAID these things.

In my experience, RAID is quite fragile. I've learned through experience
to avoid it on my personal machines.

raid is definitely *not* fragile. it's extremely robust, although not
the best choice in every situation.

Based on listening to the conversation about RAID from those of you who
have experience that I lack, I think I'll keep those snakes out of my
aquarium.

Thanks!

Since I now have far more disk space than I currently need, most likely,
I'll just dual boot with Ubuntu & Windows 10 using grub following one of
the many tutorials.

1. Install Windows 10 Pro
2. Install Ubuntu alongside Windows
3. Set Grub to choose either one by default
