I'd argue against that point - I haven't come across a (business)
system installed by a half way competent person in the last 3+ years
that doesn't have RAID.  Personally I would rarely consider installing
a system that didn't use RAID - the benefits far outweigh the cost and
complexity increase IMO.

Heck, RAID is starting to appear in home systems too (excluding geeks,
I know one 3 people with home NAS units that run RAID).  Just because
it has been unusual to find, doesn't mean it will remain that way.
