Seriously what is the point of RAID 1? I know you're all gonna say it's for security/backup. But honestly, the chances of one of the hard drives crashing is so small compared to the chances of getting a virus or loosing data in another way. I asked someone if he backed up his PC and he says "of course" and I ask on what and he says "RAID 1, constant backup". I laughed at him, the day he gets a virus that deletes his info where the RAID won't help at all be cause it will just make the virus delete the info on the backup drive too, he'll see how good this "backup" method is.

So do people really use RAID 1 for backup? Because all it protects from is hard drive failure witch is very unlikely to happen compared to other ways you can loose data.

Thanks
