I don't know of many people with good experiences using RAID.
You need to meet more people :)
I would, but I'm a misanthrope. That's why I need to get my MythTV
working. ;-)
RAID0 over multiple disks can give *huge* boosts to throughput.
It offers no resilience (so more AID than RAID) but it means that you
can issue say 4 read requests to a 4 drive RAID0 array and the head from
drive 1 skitters away to service request 1, drive 2 does request 2 ,
drive3: request3, drive4:request4 ... all in parallel so you appear to
get 4 times the performance - equivalent to say: 2ms seektime and
300Mb/s *real* transfer speed - still laughing?
No, now I'm crying because I can't possibly shuttle that much data over my
network.
(Seriously, thanks. That makes sense about RAID0. Always wondered why
someone would use it.)
