Well, Duh, if you were Microsoft and you owned a travel website and the DOJ said that any bad business practices you wanted to use were naughty but "Oh well", would YOU make your website work with the competition's browsers ?
Well, you see, the thing about RAID is that the ID bit at the end... it stands for Inexpensive Drives.
Sure, right now you have 0 problem, but as a UNIX Sysadmin, I have quite a bit of experience with drives of all types and I know that they too will fail.
They may have better specs and I wouldn't use consumer drives in a corporate server, but, hey, this guy is doing his thing at home. Why would he want to spend $1000 to get himself a couple of SCSI drives when he can get 10x the value in IDES and a nice cheap (onboard?) RAID 1 solution will, if not guarantee his data integrity, at least ensure that restore from backup scenario is unlikely.
I made a 4 drive RAID 0 stripe at home for playing with. It was nice and fast, it was unsafe and it failed last week after 4 years. I didn't care. I knew it would eventually. It was for fun. I'm still trying to get last month's technology to feel as fast as that 4 year old stuff did.
Grocery gateway is pretty good. I have been using it since they started up. I'm always wary of letting someone else pick my fruit and veges so I get those myself at the local markets.
One advantage for me (even though I live 2 houses from a supermarket) is the selection. They have more stock than the tiny local IGA and I currently don't have a car.
The delivery was always good (and the guys carry it up 2 flights of stairs) and there's a no tipping policy.
The packers used to suck but this month they've obviously changed something as everything is neat, the bottles come in protective mesg bags and the
chips/crisps are on top !
I would recommend them to anyone living in their delivery area.
