  • The calculations necessary to rebuild a failed drive from parity data stored on the other drives means that for the duration of the time that the array is being rebuilt (aka “resilvered”), you’ll have high activity on the other drives. So during that time there’s an increased chance that a drive that was already on the brink of failure is pushed over the edge. If that happens, your data is gone. Like I said it depends on your risk tolerance. You may not feel like it’s worth it in your situation. I personally only run a raidz1. I accept the risk that entails, just as people who use raidz2 accept the increased risk that entails over raidz3. There’s no limit to the amount of redundancy you can add. The level of redundancy that’s needed is a decision that only you/your organization can make.



  • Off-site backup is the proper answer to your question. All this really depends on your own tolerance or comfort with the possibility of losing data. The rule of thumb is that there should be at least three different copies of your data, each in a different physical location. For each of them, there should be redundancy of some kind implemented to guard against hardware failure. Redundancy is typically achieved by using mirrored drives or by using RAID of some kind. Also, if you’d like to know, using RAID in which you can only lose one disk in the array is not typically considered a sufficient level of protection because of the possibility of a cascading drive failure during replacement of a failed disk. It should be at least two.




  • Lemmy sure does love name calling! It’s such a mature and productive way to carry on a conversation!

    I mean literally I paid 60k-ish all together for my two cars , why is it so hard to believe? I didn’t read it cover to cover, like all the detailed specifications, and the index and all that kind of stuff, I didn’t memorize the maintenance schedules for Canada and Mexico, but all the explanations of all the features? Of course I read all of that. It takes just 2-3 hours to go through it all, even sitting in the car and trying everything out as I go. It’s a super small time investment into something I’m going to own for several years. I spend way more time on a weekly basis on leisure activities like playing games.

    In my experience, this is intentional. You’re watching a thing with full dynamic range sound. Honestly, the intention is for you to have a decent speaker system and to turn it up so you can hear the dialog comfortably. The loud parts will be loud and that is the intent. Why would they make the loud parts quiet? An explosion isn’t supposed to be quiet. They shouldn’t make it quiet for the sake of you listening to it through your TV’s built in speakers at 2 in the morning while the rest of the house is asleep. If you need the dynamic range to be compressed for your purposes you can do that yourself. Many devices have this option these days. My Roku has “leveling” and “night” modes which compress the dynamic range so there’s not such a difference between the quiet parts and the loud parts.
