My (highly limited) experience of RAID has been entirely negative - and
that's with out apparently using it :o
On two occasions now, I've tried to do what I thought was a perfectly
normal update on debian based systems which has resulted in something
called mdadm being upgraded, at which point it seems the entire
filesystem gets hosed :(
My policy these days is to make removal of mdadm the very first thing I
do after an install to a new machine.

I know what you don't use now, what about
telling me what you use? Do you
agree with arnold 10, 01 1?
Right now I don't use any RAIDing or striping on my studio machine. I
have 3 hard drives and a CD-RW (it's still IDE-based). One drive's my
OS drive, one's my /tape drive with active sessions, and one's my
/tapebak drive with backups of active sessions and archives for older
sessions.
I have an rsync job that writes anything that's changed over to my
fileserver, which does use RAID 1+0 (mirrored and striped) to give me
both large filesystems and disk redundancy.
