Chanel 9 must be doing something wrong.
Except that they don't actually argue against RAID, only the RAID-F's.
The article I read actually advocates RAID10.
Conclusion? For safety and performance favor RAID10 first, RAID3 second,
RAID4 third, and RAID5 last!

I still await the data that a single drive performs better than RAID when
multiple users are reading/writing. And by multiple I mean more than
several hundred.

against RAID itself. There is also nothing here that offers

It has something to do with the local TV stations and our Cable

on broadcast programs. Right when they get interesting.

I can't speak for Tom, but I don't believe he ever actually said this.
Even he will admit that the only way to get extra speed from a drive
is RAID. His objections, like mine, have more to do with fault
tolerance and backups. With the new RAID configs, the problem is being
addressed. Then again
RAID was designed for Enterprise, and business applications not home use.
If a home user wants quicker starting Word or more FPS for games, get
SCSI drives.

For raw speed, RAID is the way to go. The P2 cards Panasonic is
selling so well these days are just blocks of SD cards strung together
in a RAID. The more SD's, the faster the transfer speed (as well as
capacity). http://www.dvxuser.com/articles/P2/ . Of course, there's
virtually no fault

Verizon is helping out on their end. In Baltimore, MD, 3 people I've

Verizon over the last couple of months even though they were still
