precise what is "desktop" usage is.

Here at work we just use non raided disks for workstations which run linux.

and this is proper way to do this.

The home directories are on nfs, so when a disk fails it's replaced very fast

See above. I cannot imagine any other configuration.

Me neither, just keep back-ups of important data on a different place/device

Once again - a proper way. rsync is good help.

One more step in "proper way" is to use X terminals. Second hand "thin clients" eg. Wyse are here for 25$. just replace it's software with FreeBSD (or even linux) starting Xorg -query <yourserver>


Not talking about RAID5 of which i am not interested at all - there is no reason trading performance for available space nowadays with 2-3TB disks.

I have never tries the FreeBSD raid solution as we always have servers with
You should.
