I kept abreast of storage technologies for about twenty years for a large government contract. RAID is fine for a data center, where corners are not likely to be cut and where people understand how to manage the technology. I shudder thinking about using a RAID for personal use, with almost certainly few of the protections (and backups) used in a data center. What would you do if your RAID controller failed? RAID is a complex solution that does not lend itself to home users who know little about its strengths and weaknesses.
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- >From your post, you clearly have no idea who you are speaking of. Quoting the first line from a wiki page is a good scam, try actually knowing the people you are talking about. And no, not anything...just the things that you are wrong about. You leave out one crucial detail, RAID works. It has for a long time and will continue in many places. If you are afraid of it then don't use it, but you need not spread FUD around. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
