Hi Folks, I've been watching the various recent threads about RAID and disk configurations. I've been burned several times on RAID 1 and RAID 5 configs. A drive fails, and so doe the entire array. So much for RAID. That said, I'm soon to build a new database server (SQL, Windows 2008). There will be a number of large databases on the system (maybe 1T to start). What are your suggestions? I recall someone mentioned an IBM server that had some sort of "grid" disk redundancy and that sounded cool. Just looking for your thoughts on this. I usually by Dell but any vendor is fine. Tom
