Directors and Realservers - Do they need RAID?

[Gavin Henry <ghenry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

Just spec'ing some machines, as we need two Directors and two Realservers.

I had planned on using Dell 1850 with 1GB RAM and Dual Xeon 3.GHz for the 
DIrectors, but they don't do RAID. 

Would that be needed?

Also, for the two realservers doing PHP and Apache, I had planned on using 
Dell 2850 2GB RAM and Dual 3Ghz RAID 5/10

fs RAID is advised on the DIrectors, then 2850's all round are needed.

Thanks.
