    I feel bad for @Calin :disappointed: , so much trouble after his 18th birthday

    He is an adult now, so he can deal with it ;)

    On a positive note: There really seems to be hardly anyone complaining. It's kind of like there weren't any aspiring Amozons and Googles on the server.

    We should get a gofundme donation campaign started to crowdfund some new hard drives for him.

    Or just hope that @crunchbits sent Calin some new HDDs :D

    Me thinks it wasn't good idea to kill all small chicken offers from Calin hatchery.

    (hope I used the chicken allegory well)

    Hope the bats are ok.

    EDIT:

    This is customer love for the provider, and it seems any service has it's followers.

    Raid 60 has a advantage compared to raid 6

    If you are using refurbished hdds then make sure they are from different charges.

    @Calin do you want to make the announcement, or should I?

    You could at least write a report on that and tell us exactly how you felt at what point. We have been waiting for so long now.

    That's a good start. Now with a little more feeling. What were your first thoughts when you realized all your hard work was gone due to some dead HDDs? Did it feel bad?

    That's a bit anti-climatic. Didn't you rage the slightest? Maybe you cried a little (don't worry it's OK)?

    No

    I see. So what's your take on having to wait for new disks to arrive (probably again for days or even a week)?

    Calin says it should be back up by tomorrow

    Yes, one RAID6 is still limited to 2 max failures before data loss BUT you doubled the total redundancy drives.

    You also doubled the total number of drives. If you have twice as many drives, then you will have twice as many drive failures.

    If you combine two drives into a RAID0 then you double your chance of total data loss. If you combine two RAID6s into a RAID60 then you double your chance of total data loss.

    It's amazing how many people are mathematically illiterate.

    He also said that when provisioning the VPS. Aren't you a little worried that might take longer? That would feel bad, right?

    Smaller RAID 6: good
    Combining the smaller RAIDs into one larger one: no lessons were learnt

    storage is tricky AF.

    even Google is not spared from data loss.

    how can you trust an 18yo with used HDDs to store your data?

    For torrents that I can redownload and I seed them only to enlarge my virtual peni I mean ratio? I imagine I could. But I never did, that sounds illegal.

    of course it's fine as a seedbox, but if you wanna run Plex off of it then data loss sucks
