As far as I understand you need to buy Riak EnterpriseDS to have any guarantee for durability & availability for data you store in Riak:
“There are no guarantees that the (…) replicas will go to (N) separate physical nodes; however, the built-in functions for determining where replicas go attempts to distribute the data evenly." http://wiki.basho.com/Replication.html#So-what-does-N%3D3-really-mean%3F Basically, whatever N you set, they might end up on the same hard disk, meaning that one hard disk crash can mean you lose data and/or make data not readable. Probability is low, but it can happen. Am I correct?
