Saw the news now, it was in Mindanao, http://www.staradvertiser.com/breaking-news/strong-earthquake-hits-off-philippines-no-tsunami-threat-to-hawaii/
Far from Manila
But it's just few hours in my Parents location. -

Another collection of bad decision making. The company in question had one bad MSP and moved to another that doesn't even know what Backup Exec is!! How did they select either of these MSPs? You can tell the companies that have no clue how to hire an IT firm, they just move from one bad one to another and have no idea what good IT looks like because they avoid it so thoroughly.

I'm getting very frustrated with these posts. The sheer number of people lacking entry level IT knowledge that then post things as if they have a clue and defend it without the slightest idea what they are talking about is just overwhelming. An entire thread of people who can't identify the basic RAID levels, can't figure out when things are safer or more dangerous, even the vendor is clueless here because he is stuck promoting his RAID 5 product. Then people using it as a platform to show off how little they know of software RAID.

It's like a showcase of how clueless average IT people are. This is really, really basic stuff in this discussion. In a forum with that much misinformation, how can anyone have a useful discussion?

Scott this pimiento said it's this way so I believe he is correct (yes sarcasm)
He placed an Raid 0 array on top of 3 raid 5 arrays wich effectively equals Raid 0. Luckily it was raid 5 under there so SOME fault tollerance was preset. He didnt have one array like you said (raid 50) but he had 4 arrays in total there. If you have 8 raid controllers (Operating system will see that as 8 hard drives) and you place them all in software Raid 0 like he did, you're pushing your luck with every minute. Faul tollerance is 0 raid controllers in that case.

So is Joerg really from WD or from SW? I don't know any of the SW people so I can't tell. But if he is from WD, that's really bad.
Btw, this setup is not RAID 50, this is 3 x RAID 5 stripped in one huge partition with a blown controller.

That's just a very long winded way of saying RAID 50.
