Two reasons:
1) Throughput, particularly on read. Striping across several disks
means I can move more than one drive's max data rate at once (right?).
Uhhhmmm...isn't that "performance"?
I'd say it is; I never said performance wasn't a concern. In fact, I
said throughput was my #1 concern, followed by data safety, and that
only uptime wasn't so much a concern. (I did say /write/ performance
wasn't as much of a concern, which may be where Mr. Fickenscher
misinterpreted me).
