Re: Is RAID worth it?

I use RAID 1 with a spare for my OS. I am going to add two RAID 10 arrays to my SAS RAID at home. RAID 1 is a good idea to protect from hardware failure. I would also recommend a backup device. I use tape drives to backup at home. I would recommend two identical drives for RAID 1. Do mix drives. Slowest drive will set the RAID speed.

If you don't want to do RAID, get a decent backup solution and use it weekly.
