Would you care to elaborate on why it would be "chancy"?
On the issue of resources: on a file server, which really doesn't use
more than a few percent of CPU, what's bad of wasting <5% of CPU on a
few RAID5 arrays? *Good* hardware RAID is pretty expensive. Why bother?
Of course, for heavy-duty storage it's OK, but I really don't see the
need for most users.
