It will indeed be a glorious day once we can use them :) @Roger

We plan on eventually utilizing SSD for more of the IO bound things such as mail and MySQL – though we have to wait a bit longer until the technology and prices drop a bit to justify it. It will indeed be a glorious day once we can use them :)

I think it's time for IT busness to start looking into SSD technology. SSD driver are now quite reliable and no that much expensive compared to business class hard drives.

So having one drive fail does not mean data will be lost. The raid card removes the drive from it's array of disks and says this one is bad it needs replaced. When a new drive is inserted it then copies the data over to the new drive. As far as the raid card if it fails the data is still there on the disks. So it's just a matter of replacing the raid card.
