Some of you may recall that a few weeks ago I shut down my quad core editing workstation as an energy-saving measure one Monday night. The following Tuesday, I started it up and Windows XP loaded up to a BSOD. After investigating the cause, I discovered all of the RAID devices were offline.

This is a story of grief and struggle. Last Monday, I decided to power down the big editing workstation at the end of the day, rather than leave it running overnight, as I usually did for the past 12 months since I built it. It's really amazing, but leaving a few workstations running 24/7 results
