Knowing what RAID is... is good. But ultimately, the main takeaway from this thread should be that when diagnosing a problem, you may sometimes discover that the root of the problem is different from what you thought. In Gene's case, the problem (long startup time of some applications) does not appear to be related to his disks, but rather, to something in the desktop environment or its underlying services.
