Are SQL Server RAID Best Practices really necessary for a database with only a few users?

Is separating the data and log files on different drives/virtual disks really necessary if we only have 6 database users?

Thanks guys!  I appreciate your input.  I'll most likely not separate the data and log files and go with a RAID5 for the SQL database storage.  Thanks again.

That should be fine. Performance won't suffer and the RAID 5 storage will give you the redundancy you need.
