    I just lost a 12TB Toshiba X300 that was mere months out of its 2 year warranty. Never spin up a single drive! They will always make you wish you mirrored, one day.

      RAID is still no replacement for a backup. Single drives are fine as long as you have automated backups and can handle the interruption when someone goes wrong.
