  • I remember getting an oil change or something and the service advisor asking for me to give a review and “anything less than 10/10 is considered a failure” which really pissed me off. In my mind a 10 out of 10 is “above and beyond amazing” which is simply not something I can do for something like an oil change. I would say “I got out of there driving the same car I went in with in a reasonable amount of time” is the best I would expect and would rate it as 8//10.




  • It will take a long time and while it runs it will use a lot of resources so the server can be bogged down. It is also a dangerous time for a NAS, because if you have a drive down, and another drive dies, the whole pool can collapse. The process involves reading every bit on every drive, so it does put strain on everything.

    Some people will go out of their way to buy drives from different manufacturing batches so if one batch has a problem, not all of their drives will fail.

    The way striping works (at an eli5 level) is you have a bunch of drives and one is a check for everything else. So let’s say you have four 10tb drives. Three would be data and one would be the check, so you get 30tb of usable space.

    In reality you don’t have a single drive working as a check, instead you spread the checks across all of the drives, if you map it out with “d” being data and “c” being check it looks like this: dddc ddcd dcdd cddd

    This way each drive has the same number of checks on it, and also why we call it striping.

    It is said that when English went from old English (which was gendered) to modern English, part of the problem was that the genders of the Germanic roots didn’t match the genders of the French influences so the people chose to just skip it all together.
