I never said Raid 1 was slower than a single disk access. I said it was slower than 5 and 0. What’s the benefit of going 1 over 0? You can make backups (and should be making them). So I don’t see redundancy being a problem.
I know you didnt. I just said that for others who aren’t you/me/kip.
As far as the redundancy… if we RAID 0 and a drive dies… we have to wait to get a replacement before we can continue on. with RAID 1 if the drive dies we can keep going while we wait for the replacement.
But yes, we should still be making backups in other places.
