Resilvering time. You are faster getting a broken drive fixed from a mirror. This gets more important with increased drive capacity.
There is an article somewhere calculating the probability of two drives failing during resilvering and how this gets worse with the ever increasing capacities, which increases the resilvering times.
But I guess you already account for this by using a Raid 6 with +2.
- Dylan16807 10y agoI can't think of any reason resilvering should be significantly slower with RAID 6. Even an extreme bottleneck of attaching all the drives to a single SATA channel would let you resilver a 10TB disk in roughly one day. Triple parity can give you pretty good integrity, but at a certain point it's wasted effort. Disk failures cluster too much for any single array to be safe; you need backups.
