I thought it was implied with "No RAID?" in response to data loss (wherein they mentioned that they had a backup :) I'm personally very skeptical as I have been using/used RAID for 20+ years, and I have lost data due to: - crappy/faulty RAID controllers: who actually spends money to buy a good hardware controller, when a cheap version is included in most Motherboards built in the last 15+ years? In one case (a build for a friend), the onboard controller was writing corrupt data to BOTH drives in a RAID-0, so when we tried to recover, the data on both drives was corrupt. - Windows 8 beta which nuked my 8-drive partition during install
