      @nikade It's also RAS. The risk of a 2nd failing disc during rebuild is a lot higher than usual.
      Our B2D2T server needs about 24 hours for that.

        @cg How big are your disks?
        Our primary SAN has NVME SSD so rebuild is just a couple of hours, but like you said, a 2nd failure during rebuild would be a disaster so it isn't worth the risk.

        Our secondary boxes are ZFS which requires close to 12h to rebuild, so the extra parity is good to avoid biting all your nails off 🙂

          @nikade I found out the HPE MSA2060 has a full flash bundle option, wich is suprisingly cheap, so our SAN has 3.84 TB SAS SSDs - they'll be good within a few hours, but our backup server has a RAID6 with 10 TB HDDs.

            @cg Those HDD's will take their fair time to rebuild.
            Always stressful looking how far along it is while crossing your fingers that another drive wont pop during the process.
