As a host myself, I would say anything is possible. As a host, I would say a RAID 5 is a great choice for the best mixture of price and reliability. Other things to consider are what type of drives are being used and what type of RAID controller - they're not all created equal. No hardware solution is infalliable, that's why I always recommend a full backup - even of large RAID volumes. If you want some recommendations on hardware simply email me or call me during the day.

Cheers,

Brad
