Well, just as soon as the default configuration is for something
besides what it is, I'll agree with you. In the meantime, however,
I'll keep saying that you need to be careful.
And incidentally, unless you own a sheet metal shop or have a few
thousand to waste, there simply isn't a good way to get more than
about 2TB into a chassis, so how exactly were you figuring on setting
up a RAID?
Computer science majors and consultants operate in the realm of the
theoretical - I'm stuck dealing with reality.
