@scottalanmiller I was this guy not too long ago and sometimes I revert back to being this guy now. I think if you listed what the benefits of virtualization are he would be more receptive as he most likely doesn't know them, kind of like if you started talking in-depth about SAN's to me--I'd have very little to add and I probably wouldn't understand most of it. I don't get the impression that this guy is trying to be bad at receiving help even though he is, just like I am sometimes even though I don't mean to be. It's just a matter of ignorance.
Problem is, it's not my job to explain the same basics over and over again. They are well documented and he's a decade past it being okay to make this mistake. Really, explaining it without someone asking is quite condescending. If he disagrees with the industry, he's free to ask and that's the proper response.

@Kelly One of his biggest triggers for sure lol
btw @scottalanmiller I have a need for high throughput on a production application server housing 75 TB. My best practice Raid 5 configuration is really going to shine
RAID0 would be so much faster!
75 TB is a lot of data to RAID... Anything over 12 TB shouldn't be raided and should be just straight pass-through and set up as individual drives.
Edit: not serious!!!!

We've been on this forum for awhile now and we know when each other is being sarcastic but it doesnt translate well in text. Sorry!

What is actually tough with that sarcasm is that you MIGHT have been meaning something like "because RAIN will use them" or something. So it is almost realistic.

Cause you know... RAID0 would be X-drives faster! Plus you don't lose any storage space when you RAID them together. It's a double win!

Zero waste! Why does that silly RAID 6 and RAID 10 stuff even exist?

Right. . . who can begin to understand what those psycho's where thinking when they came up with it.

Yeah, advice fail right there
I mean I get his point, but I don't agree. It's "you don't know how to do your job to a minimum level of competence, so let's just gloss over that and give bad advice since it's too hard to treat you like a professional." If I gave that same advice people would be all over me for being condescending and thinking that the OP was too "dumb" to do his job. But other people treat him like a child and it's considered normal. -
@scottalanmiller Sometimes Robert makes that point.

It's not a disaster recovery scenario so it presents itself as an excellent learning experience, which should ultimately be his end goal.
