RAID technology is a method of ensuring data integrity, not access speed. RAID is the preferred method for servers in general. What RAID provides for is the ability of the server to continue to function during a hard disk failure without loss of data. It is similar to disk mirrorring.Access speed is something different, and usually costs. Some softwares use caching to increase speed of access.
