These days we here a lot of hype about RAID and its many benefits and few downfalls, but it is right for everyone? I've also heard that RAID can sometimes be unreliable, and I wonder if it's really just a hobbyist/power user's storage medium. Is it stable and secure enough for a mission critical corporate work enviroment, or is sticking to traditional tried-and-true single IDE drives still the most legit way to go?
In your experience and preference, what storage setup would you rather recommend to a corporation looking for high-end, 3D number crunching, 2GHz+, mission critical, 24x7 computer systems for their senior engineers?
A.) Dual 60GB IDE setup striped under RAID 0
B.) One 40GB IDE program disk (Windows XP, AutoCAD, etc) and one 80GB IDE storage disk (AutoCAD projects, MP3s, video files, et al)
