Why RAID is not a consumer technology

Now that I have your attention....
That is the title of a post today on the WHS team blog - it's an interesting discussion on the benefits of the WHS Drive Extender technology versus Raid and the thinking the WHS team when they created Drive Extender for WHS

I agree that WHS is a terrific product and has it's uses.

I prefer All-in-One solution where I have server/games/workstation on the same hardware. RAID works better for me. I am a consumer!!!
