Last week we covered what Linux software RAID is good for and not good for, and hardware RAID vs. software RAID. In a nutshell it’s about getting good performance for just the cost of ordinary inexpensive drives and controllers, and either increasing uptimes or speeding up performance, or a bit of both. It is not a substitute for the usual sensible failsafes like regular backups, power protection, and terrorizing users into following … I mean “enforcing sane security policies.”
