You're not the only one. In fact, while I'm not exactly talking
"enterprise" level here - more usually "IT" and we know what that
means - I've seen many RAID systems purchased and set up without any
spare disks on hand, or any thought given to what happens next when
one fails. Likely this is a combination of low expectations (you can
usually blame Windows and everyone will believe it) from the
computing services department combined with a lack of feedback
("you're fired") when massive data loss occurs.
