With bigger disks, it's even said that RAID 6 is no longer good enough, due to large rebuild times in case of a failure. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/storage/why-raid-6-stops-working-in-2019/805 On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 7:41 AM, Ryan Huff <[email protected]> wrote: > Reto, > > Seek/rpm speeds and media type (flash, sata ... etc) are usually what > matter the most for RAID disks.
