Sure. Let's see if we can recap. Bottom line? 1. RAID controllers fail, causing complete data loss and useless disk drives. Huge risk for small benefit. 2. Software RAID has fewer parts to fail and the disks can be read on other machines. 3. Distributing data among multiple computers and disks is affordable for even the smallest businesses. And it is the current best practice. 4. Backups are always important no matter how you are increasing availability through redundancy. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
