Protection

Obviously, RAID is there to protect you from disasters. The various RAID levels present you each a mix of disk space and safety level. If the server is critical I would definatively recommend RAID 1 (mirror disks) on the core OS components.

Upgrading to RAID afterwards will greatly depend on the RAID HW and OS. But usually you have an exhaustive list of 'RAID migration' paths and surely going from no RAID to RAID 1 should be possible.
