Migrating 47 cPanel sites without paying JetBackup tax · Web Hosting

Drive upgrades: 8TB to 20TB, my RAID rebuild time tripled · Dedicated Servers

However, the MTTDL calculation itself must include the drive failure rate also, not only the rebuild time only. Kindly share your annualized failure rate assumptions also. Have you considered the erasure coding itself as an alternative to the RAID-6 only? Kindly do the needful and evaluate the Reed-...
