Did you know that most "oh my god" RAID failures happen during the reconstruction of a failed drive? .Especially on SATA as the non-recoverable-bit-error math is so much easier to run into. I think..that on a 500G drive, there are enough bits to read/write that mathematically you could run into a double-drive failure every time you have to recover. Although, statistically it wouldnt happen every time. No raid solves any backup problem. > I've been using those Intel RAID with Windows for a couple of years now and > it really helped solve my backup problem. > I think this is simply great, no worries of data loss anymore (at least > coming from hardware failure). > > -nodje > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
