Most of my customers have RAID-5, no one has ever had a problem!   I don't
think that mirroring is necessary unless you are 911, or a hospital, etc.
I do have some mirroring customers still, but most have backed off to RAID-5.

On the other hand, we no longer accept customers with third party DASD.
It's just too much of a hastle.

They have DASD failures, or service issues, and call us to influence the
vendor, which we do, sometimes with good results, and sometimes ...   Then
we send them a bill, and it gets into a customer sat. issue.

Just better not to handle them.
