RAID 1 vs. No Raid

[lnxcode]

Is it important to have raid on servers?

Some folks would tell you, that RAID 1 isn't necessary. However, it comes very handy when you have a problem. So here, we will talk about what the up and the down of RAID 1 is.

Cost

This is certainly a big factor when you're choosing your server. However, having raid on a server can save you thousands later vs a small inconvenience of having to pay more per month. Our RAID cards are 3ware (some of the highest quality in the market) so much so that Barracuda and other large name brands use it in their appliances.

So is it worth the extra $55/mo for a raid card? Yes.
