RAID is just one aspect of a "good" storage approach, yes. Basically given a limited budget and 3 disks, I'd sacrifice the space of 1 disk for redundancy every time. I think with storage prices coming down all the time RAID continues to get attractive, even for home users. RAID isn't a replacement for backup, but RAID is still always better then no RAID (except for JBOD/RAID0). -- Aslak3 (SB 2, SB Boom, SB Radio) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aslak3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31977 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84125 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
