The other day a message showed up in my inbox with the subject “Is RAID Dead?” While I understand, and agree, that expectations and advances in technology have passed simple RAID 5 by, I’m getting tired of the “XYZ Technology is dead” meme. At various times we’ve been told tape, the PC, and e-mail were all dead. If calling RAID dead is an overstatement, what is the state of RAID?
