All I knew was I get a phone call from them telling me all my data was lost. I had a backup that was about 30 days old because they assured me with RAID 5 there wouldnt be a data loss if a disk failed. So I'm sure it was their incompetence. Then the fuckers had the nerve to try to charge me $2000 for tech support. Cost me over $10,000 because of the downtime. Live and learn.
