  If stuff fails too quickly, I'm forced to invest more time fixing it.

  And time is precious.

  I would pay a bit more for redundancy.

  RAID is not backup. RAID failure = disk change = RAID array rebuilding, which can fail and take the remaining disk with it. So I see RAID as a 2x chance of fail. I prefer full disk backups or data backups.

  If you want information, feign ignorance reply with the wrong answer. Internet people will correct you ASAP!
  It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right!

  Mentally strong people use RAID-0.

  Depends on what "little more" means, but I'd lean towards less on the basis that I wouldn't really look towards LES class providers for mission critical data

  that was my thought as well. the data I usually deploy on les provider is A-not senstive and B-not critical

  that's the point of this poll. it seems folks would prefer some redundancy

  Well, I guess people who want RAID are still putting mission critical data on LES providers and not keeping any backups... Live and learn I guess?
