I think he is talking about another problem. RAID addresses detectable
failures at the hardware level. I believe that he wants validation after
the data is returned (without error) from the device. While in most
cases if what you wrote and what you read don't match it's memory,
improving the chances of catching the error is useful, given that
non-server often lacks ECC on memory, or people buy cheaper non-parity
memory.



There's other issues as well. Why do people run 'tripwire' on boxes that
have RAID on them?


What has RAID got to do with detecting hacking?
