Not speaking for Tom, but RAID controllers can fault and the result can be loss of some or all data. If more than one drive fails while another is rebuilding, all data for that RAID set is lost. Power loss for RAID can be a much bigger problem than for independent disk drives. There are others, but those should be an indication.
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- I'm wondering how RAID can be less realiable then a 'modern' hard drive when those same modern hard drives are used for the RAID? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
