I have never liked raid 5 but can still see its use. And while you are 100% correct I have the statement that raid is not a back up it is a good feature for performance needs and overall uptime so you can keep running in case of single disk failure. Which I have dealt with. On Jun 21, 2012 8:45 AM,

Other than the case when 2 drives failed, Raid 5 worked for me for many years. If you are using simple mirroring though 2 drives failing will cause the same issue. I now use Raid 6 for a little more redundancy. Always backup your data to other storage (offsite if possible) in-case of disaster.

I'm with you, Michael. I expect to see things moving in the direction of private, personal, self-hosted clouds. The Personal Server counterpart of what happened with the Personal Computer. When we build it, they will come. -- -Eric 'shubes' On 06/20/2012 11:45 PM, Michael Butash wrote: I too
