[NCSA-discuss] RAID recommendations?

[Steve Wolfe]

Simon always has ways to get good gear on a shoe-string budget.
yea Simon!

Yes there is much nicer stuff, but it costs.
And sometimes, like this backup staging server, it isn't worth the
extra dollars.
IMHO .. now in your business .. maybe you need it.
Maybe the cost of downtime, or the cost of admins .. etc.

I see this from time to time where people think they need enterprise gear ..
and they can't afford it, and often don't need it for the application at hand.
