Never said RAID was best, just that it has it's place. Tom's argument
previously was that because of HD's high MTBF RAID was useless, this new
article that came up said RAID was useless because of low MTBF.
I think you should reread the 2009 article more carefully. That article
was not about
Single drives still aren't fast enough for enterprise work. We've been over
this...the horse is dead, buried, he's been exhumed and is now being beaten
again within an inch of his death. RAID with backup on/offsite is still
cheaper then putting together a cluster for some mid range customers.
This from my RAID 0 fully backed up pc.
Ever see Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern?

I can recall Robert Metcalfe, the co-inventor of Ethernet and founder of
3Com, writing in 1996 or so about the coming Internet crash. He called it
a gigalapse. He publicly and very enthusiastically predicted that very
soon the Internet would not be able to handle the data load and would fail.

Well, the more evidence people post on here that RAID is less and less
useful, riskier and riskier, the more you hew to your RAID is best

So the first time your new car breaks down, you buy a new one?
Depends on why it failed. If I look at it and realize that I made a very
bad mistake then I would send it back. I have done that with PCs on more

So the first time your new car breaks down, you buy a new one? What about
when you just change the oil? Or do you buy a new car then too? You must
buy a LOT of computers, even macs if you toss them if they get a kernel
panic.
Interestingly the article actual reaches the same conclusion as you,
We missed it like global freezing, and that other catastrophe the inventor
of the internet keeps droning about. Funny how all these RAID setups just
keep humming along in face of the 'facts'.
