New Revision: 42018
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/42018

Log:
  Suppress some ugly memories in the Storage chapter:
  * Remove "RAID" section that only covers ccd(4) and ataraid(4).  These
    may still work, but there are better solutions for new users.
  * Remove Backups to Floppies section.
  * Add SATA drive names.
  * Change CDROM to CD-ROM to match the FDP Primer word list.
  
  About ccd(4):
  
  Once new and useful, thrice ousted from its niche, time's arrow
  evicts ccd from the Handbook, to live forever in the archives.

-	<para>When choosing a mass storage solution, the most
-	  important factors to consider are speed, reliability, and
-	  cost.  It is rare to have all three in balance.  Normally a

-	<para>In designing the system described below, cost was
