Damn. 2/8 drives in my array have died. I was going to replace them, but at this price point I might just delete some porn instead.

Or buy cloud storage.

Don’t buy cloud storage that’s what they want you to do

If two are dead, you probably should get at least one of them replaced. I’m assuming you are running a RAID 6 with zero redundancy at this point.

  I’m on RAID1 on btrfs, so I just rebalance and remove the disks as they break.

    O, that is a real cool feature. So you just loose space then as they fail, not redundancy.

    It sure is!
    
    In my case it’s vulnerable while I re-balance.
    
    btrfs can work with mixed-size disks and change RAID-levels on-line, too.
