So RAID two big drives? What's the point?

• minikites 10y ago
  In the case of RAID-1, redundancy? The R in RAID?

    Yes but that doesn't resolve the small vs big drive issue. You can RAID them both. The question wasn't what the point was of RAID, the question was what the point was of smaller drives.

  We are at the point where drives are large enough, that rebuilding an array of large drives have a dangerously high probability that it will cause another failure in another drive, killing the array.
