This is a good point. I guess, like everything else, "it depends".
Application, user, etc., etc. I need something fairly foolproof and
also, fairly turnkey. A well-thought-out and implemented RAID would
work for me if the performance were adequate and an operator need do
nothing on a red light but push a button, swap the drive, push the
button again. Alas, it seems it is always either too expensive or more
complicated than that (or both).

I would like to reply to myself again; this time, to offer up a disclaimer:
I am not a consultant, nor administer large systems professionally. I
take a personal interest in this subject.
So please, do not take what I say as advice, but only as talking points.
I say what I believe, and believe what I say, and would take my own
advice, but after rereading the thread, I realize that from the above,
one might get the impression that I am the boss, or that this kind of
thing is a regular occurrence in my job. I hope I didn't mislead anyone.
Sincerely,
Mark Allums
