- kunagi7 5y agoWho knows? This happened a decade ago. Maybe it was an electric issue... But that would fry the drive's motherboard instead of making the hard drives click?
- ComputerGuru 5y agoThis may or may not be the case here, but generally speaking… Pretty high for any parity-based multi-disk system. The remaining disks get stress tested when a disk fails and you need to copy everything over to the replacement. It’s why RAID5 is no longer sufficient with today’s disk sizes and why a RAID10 (which can only lose any one disk plus a specific other disk) is actually real-world safer than RAID6 (which can lose _any_ two disks).
- seized 5y agoAlthough with RAID10, the disk that absolutely can't fail is the one under all the restore stress. And likely to be the same age as the failed disk. There is also RAIDZ3 for those who want more safety, which is ZFS triple parity.
