So you’re saying I should be running RAIDz2 instead of RAIDz1? You’re probably right. 😂

I made that switch a few years ago for that reason.
That said, as the saying goes, RAID is not a backup, it should never be the thing that stands between you having and losing all your data. RAID is effectively just one really dependable hard drive, but it’s still a single point of failure.

As long as you’re ok with it being way less dependable, and having to rebuild it from scratch more often 😉.
