Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

This is why I love the md array in Unraid. If I was to lose 1 data drive and 2 parity drives at once (unlikely), I’d still only lose the data on the single failed data drive, not the entire array as the data isn’t striped across all drives.
Yes it’s a bit slower but it’s my media server so still plenty fast for that.
