I'm saying RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independant Drives and is a way of making multiple drives appear to be one to windows (or whatever OS you use). A RAID5 is a parity setup which uses one drive to store parity checks of the other 2-7 drives; using the basis that any binary file XORed with a parity file of the same size will result in a desired 3rd file.
Essentially... if one hard drive fails, the parity drive can be used to rebuild the data on the failed drive. Very handy if, say, you have 7 years of mp3 burning and compilation to store.

I'm on a soap box now:
As a leader I always want to believe than any mission failure is based on requirements >> resources. That is to say I always want to believe that teams do the best they can with what they have.
However, if it just a matter of piss poor performance, then I believe it could be rectified with good leadership and proper prior planning (the 6 p's of mission success).

happen boggles my mind when some or all of the variables were predictable and could have been avoided with a well reasoned plan.It starts with understanding the requirements from both a system and user perspective and then you factor in compromises necessitated by the amount of resources available for the task.
I could go on, but it'll just force me to go find a bigger soapbox and I'm suffering from a food coma right now and don't have the energy...
