Is it OK for your database to be down untill you can recover from a disk crash? If the answer is "No", then RAID is useful in your case. For a write intensive enviroment, use RAID 1 not 5. (if financially possible).

If you reside in the United States and want our company to offer you a RAID solution, please e-mail me and I'll get you in contact with someone that can help you out.
