this is news to me and taken away my excitement of having my first nas. it's very good to know though. i wonder about good-guy computer stores, mixing batches for naive customers like me, ordering 2 identical drives thinking it was best. it's crazy, it really defeats the purpose of raid 1 if both drives are likely to fail at the same time. i guess i should buy another different brand drive, and keep one of the current pair in a drawer as the future replacement.
- Filligree 3y agoTo take some further wind out, with current disk sizes there’s a decent chance of a second disk failing while you’re still replacing the first. Reading all the data off a disk is a stressful operation, you see. But that means you need RAIDZ2 or erasure coding to be reasonably safe, which takes you well outside what most of these turnkey systems can handle.
