Stick and move, Tom...you post only part of my msg avoiding the meat. So, here is one more try to get an answer from you.
Actually he never offered any alternatives to RAID where RAID is needed. I > gave an example. *25 or 30 users accessing a database, minimum downtime, > maximum data protection. What do you do in this situation except RAID?* > We just had a drive go out in this situation, and if it had not been in a > RAID, they'd have been down.

I've underlined the detailed part I was hoping you'd answer since several times recently and in the past you've said there are better alternatives to RAID. I also never said there aren't negatives to RAID. Again that's you clouding and avoiding.
