What's the price differential for RAID 1?

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Looks like $249 to start, $10/month.
I lean against it, for that money -- we can add it on later if people disagree.
OK. So we do want 512MB ECC DDR Memory for $129, right?
Yes, please.
You want it, you got it.
Tech folks are cranking away, very cool. Are we cool on cash? I can throw some at this if it's needed.
Right now we have enough to start, and for the next seven months. We'll need more then, but if you ("you" generally) have cash now, feel free to send it along. I imagine post-holidays may be better for some people.
One thing about Raid - if not done absolutely right it slows you down rather than speeds you up, and provides less disk integrity rather than more.
So- I think waiting on the raid is a wise decision. If we ever do need raid, we want to spend time configuring it.
provides less disk integrity rather than more.
How does this happen? I've never had this happen, and I've never done anything special configuring it.
