People should be more specific than just "dont use raid!". Modern hardware raid-boxes with GB's of cache are blazingly fast even on RAID-5. Ofcourse you shouldn't spend such money for cache which you can lose without problems, but if you have some free space on some raid-box why not use it.. Cheers, Henrik
