Re: To RAID or NOT

Whoever wrote:

Unless you are running RAID-0, expect a RAID setup to be slower. And if you are running RAID-0 you don't have redundancy and your likelyhood of catastrophic failure just doubled. RAID-5 and RAID-1 are not faster than no RAID.

Proper implementations of RAID-1 are a good bit faster than a
non RAIDed filesystem for disk reads.
