After much cogitation I eventually went RAID-less. Why? The only option for
hardware RAID was SAS SSDs and given that they are not built on
electro-mechanical spinning-rust technology it seemed like the RAID card
was just another point of solid-state failure. I combined that with the
fact that the

There are several good documents from the 9.0 era, but hardware has moved on

platforms out there:
* RHES
* SUSE

One of my personal rules is that whenever someone says they're going to
get a 10K RPM SCSI drive, I always tell them to go 2 x 10K RPM SCSI
drives (half the size each) and do RAID 0. Or, preferably go 3 x and do
