Of course, because you don’t want to lose the data if one of the drives dies. And backing up that much data is painful.
Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!
remon@ani.social 4 days agoYou’d still put the 40TB drives in a raid? It certainly will save you NAS bays.

depends on a lot of factors. If you only need ~30TB of storage and two spare RAID disks, 3x 40TB disks will be much more costly than 6x 10TB disks.

They’re also ignoring how many times this conversation has been had…
We never stopped raid at any other increase in drive density, there’s no reason to pick this as the time to stop.
