RAID was designed for Enterprise, and business applications not home use.
If a home user wants quicker starting Word or more FPS for games, get SCSI drives.

I can't speak for Tom, but I don't believe he ever actually said this. Even he will admit that the only way to get extra speed from a drive is RAID. His objections, like mine, have more to do with fault tolerance and backups. With the new RAID configs, the problem is being addressed. Then again there's the whole topic of whether a home user should consider RAID. If I see one more hobbyist build a RAID so that Word starts quicker or to get a few more FPS from a game I think I'll scream.
