Are these the only options?



why not check other options as well: RAID0 -- RAID10 ( a mirror of
stripes) and perhaps stripe of mirrors (available in Veritas products).



The fact remains: nothing is really bad! RAID4/5 can use large cache to
manage optimized writes (many would write to the same disk zone; and
perhaps the same disk tracks)



Plus the added snapshots? immediate recovery! etc
