True enough. Allow me to say that since I've got all of the drives mirrored, I'm fairly immune to a single drive failure. BTW: There was one stock broker in the World Trade Center that I've heard of who was impacted by the previous years bombing & subsequent database crash. So they put one of their mirrors in Houston Tx. using EMC's products. Now that IS protected!!

There was at least one company that thought it's data was fully protected because they had hot swap systems in both of the World Trade Center towers.
