    Disks that can fail. I can lose 2 and be okay. That gives me time to swap in my spare or order a new one. For a home user imo 2 drive redundancy is plenty but 3 for a 6 drive mirror was too much. These things aren’t cheap!

      This will be my most expensive computer I own by far…

      But I am trying to buy reliable parts to last me 10+ years and possibly beyond…
