We must be reading different posts. John insists that anyone should be able
to do server replication, without knowing anything about their internal
environment or business
Possible, but there is no good reason to do that. RAID is just a buzz
word to impress rubes. It would be more impressive to tell them you have
an LHC in the basement.
There's no possible, it is. I suppose someone would run their SAN/NAS
as a JBOD (just a bunch of disks), but all that does is

Better to have the best of both worlds, if you can swing it.

I'll go with that. Thank you.
However, did not one of the links posted here state that Google does not
use RAID, it uses replication, except in a few situations where they find
RAID is unavoidable.
John, I really think that you've been at Mitre for so long that you
