  Reminder to the less datahoardery nerds;
  Above 8tb per disk, the risk of n+1 failures during a rebuild, is significant above 8TB (due to wear + time taken).

  Ergo, try to only mirror or raidz2/raid6 above 8TB.

    Can you please elaborate?
    What do you mean during a rebuild?

      A rebuild happens when one of your drives dies, and you insert a new drive to take its place.

      The data for these systems is spread across the drives, including some parity information (needed for reconstructing lost data).
      If one drive dies it has to read all of the remaining drives have to be read, the data reconstructed, and written to the new drive.

        A+ :)

        So the clarify why that matters to the person asking, you have 3 drives roughly having done the same work, one just died, and you're about to ask them to do 'their whole write effort' again? The load can cause a 2nd failure, meaning your array is lost forever.

    So better to stick with x5 8TB drives over x4 10TB drives?

        Aren't they now usually SMR drives?

          @Viospeed: Only 8TB and under usually. Above 8TB they only make cmr so the shucked ones are the same as retail.

    Can you use this drive as single data drive?

      finnyy on 25/12/2021 - 20:35

      Yeah but the barracuda or something would be cheaper. NAS drives cost more because they’re designed to run 24/7 so if it’s going in a PC save the cash!

      yes, of course
      you get more warranty and a better hard disk than a standard Barracuda etc

    People need to learn RAID is not backup it's resilience. Regardless of RAID type, you still need a good backup plan.
