This is why I love the md array in Unraid. If I was to lose 1 data drive and 2 parity drives at once (unlikely), I’d still only lose the data on the single failed data drive, not the entire array as the data isn’t striped across all drives.

Hmm. I’m assuming like every other sector there are lots of fakes of dubious quality that are virtually indistinguishable from real ones except they break much more easily.

Unless you’re buying from Leatherman directly you have a much greater chance of getting a fake that’s priced high but made cheaply with inferior materials to scam people. Just try and get a real SD card on Amazon. Probably 60% or more fakes for the big name ones and huge profits for the criminals.

I have a Free P4 and feel it’s on par with their earlier products.
