The biggest advantage most people get from SSD is not from increased throughput but from decreased latency. This is true even for your average, Mom-and-Pop consumer.

The two biggest storage array manufacturers in the world, EMC and NetApp, both do RAID in software on the vast majority of their storage platforms.

For the truly paranoid amongst us, RAID 6 can survive double-disk failures.

RAID 5 is orders of magnitude safer. It is, however, much slower.

It should be "AID 0" and not "RAID 0", because RAID 0 is a non-redundant deployment. If you lose either of your drives, your array is toast.

"GIF" has a hard 'G'. It is absolutely, positively not pronounced "JIF".

I swear I read the start of your first sentence as "sentient". Because he is a robot, you know.

I can't speak for the ice cream but their Belgian milk chocolate bars are on point.
