hmmm, yeah, I hate to say it out loud, but I don't think I've ever had one either. I've pulled drives due to SMART errors, but don't think I can recall a total failure.

Got both Synolgy NAS moved to their new home.

The one on the left was in my half rack where the switches and patch panels live. That frees up the room I need to put in the BROcade and clean up the mess of wiring to the patch panels.

You'll never exceed 100MB/s of throughput with just that consumer-grade crap!

Just kidding, I have no idea. I only keep my RAID-Z array on a server because the server is convenient.

Having two just seems silly when you could throw those disks all together in with a real hardware.

Let's find out. What is your use case for having two servers running all the time?

The data is synced from one to the other. The second is a backup. First goes tits up it doesn’t matter.

I would still consider getting the X3D AMD line. They're pretty affordable now, and pair well with everything short of the NVidia Fteenthousand.
