I think you read only part of what is posted so it does not disturb your faith. RAID mirrors only protect against one type of failure (drive failure). This is the least likely type of failure and as drives' MTBF march upwards this type of failure becomes less and less likely. Meanwhile, RAID does nothing for the most likely types of data-loss errors: soft errors in the volume organization and data base structure. RAID gives a false sense of security and is often used by IT managers to avoid the real work of keeping the valuables secure. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
