Re: NT Oracle database with RAID-5 hardware controller - Is it good?

(Er, thought a 'snip' was in order here! :))

re: What if a drive goes down during rebuild [RAID5].

Everything has a degree. Use smaller, multiple RAID clusters with there own adapters, etc.

And, what if you lose an adapter, power supply, building catches fire, bomb, flood, etc.,...

Like I said, factoring in cost/rebuild time/recoverability, all have to be taken into consideration. I know some people who don't run RAID and are quite happy with the loss of service and the longer recovery. Whatever suits your needs (and what you can afford).
