Jeff and I agree! One of the dangers of using RAID outside of the data center is the false sense of security it creates. The data center uses it because they don't want customers even seeing a storage hiccup. RAID will keep things running through a failure. When it happens the data center staff will scramble to fix it quick. On a personal system you don't need drive failures hidden from you and you will be doing the scrambling yourself. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
