Yes, with at leat Raid 1 or better RAID 5 if one drive fails they are still in business and can keep the doors open.

Excellent post. One quibble... you need 3 drives to do RAID 5. I've never tried setting it up with just 2. Wouldn't that basically be a pre-degraded array, for lack of a better term?
