Thanks for the info.

To the Forum Dad:
Thanks for your work.
Without you, CCF would not exist.

RAID is a spectrum of technologies used to combine disks into sets for both speed and/or redundancy

RAID0 takes the data and spreads it across all drives - speed, but any failure takes out the volume. So it is less safe than a single drive.

RAID1 takes the data and writes two copies. It can survive one failure, but you lose half the capacity.

RAID10 = RAID0 + RAID1 - so you have two copies, but the individual copies are spread across multiple disks.

RAID5

RAID6

RAID50

RAID60

there are others, but less common.

Went perfectly, they replaced the disk and rebuilt the RAID1 with only 13 minutes down time.
