Re: Power Supply for multiple disks?

[Mike Bilow]

Why on earth would you even bother with RAID on a machine which can
experience 30 minutes of idle time?  We only use RAID for machines which
run web servers, mail servers, name servers, and things like this.  Such
machines here never exeperience even a solid minute of idle time.
