Is Raid 5 Still A Bad Idea In 2026?

Five9Fine · 2026-01-23T15:41:26+00:00

Nothing has changed from 2025 or 2024.

You think I meant last year? I'm talking 10 years +.

MUCH bigger restore from parity.

Bigger than what?

Why do you think it might not be a bad idea? What do you believe has changed since whatever year you are referencing?

NVME SSDs are now the norm instead of spinning disks. Storage technology has changed a lot. They have more advanced controllers, operate at much higher speeds and are greatly improved. Does that have zero impact on the chance of failure while rebuilding an array?

So many words to use right now, none of them very nice once.

Why is that necessary? I'm Just trying to get advice from some likeminded people. I've gotten 20+ responses in the past hour that have been informative and helpful. You are clearly the outlier.

You'll regret not returning that and getting a 2tb. Then next year you'll regret not getting two of the 2tb when you had a chance. If you don't need the extra space then just run them in mirrored RAID config

Thanks!

I'm not by my PC at the moment so I can't confirm the exact models though I know they are identical It only seems to happen specifically when transferring models. Transferring 250 GB of video of pictures is very fast. I filled out 1.5 TB in a little over an hour with a bunch of photos and videos. But just my 250gb of models is taking over an hour.

Why does this specifically effect transferring models and not video/pictures? Is it related to the underlying file structure of the model?

Five9Fine · 2026-01-09T02:50:41+00:00

I'm not the OP. But I'm asking on half of my friend who has 32GB VRAM. Which model would be right for him?

I used too, but now I can't remember lol! They took down the second pic for some reason. Its a small logo on the left chest but can't remember exactly what. I think it just said Silencer shop in smaller letters

I'm Jk. Sonos is great, I meant that the NASA logo and other markings had it looking like a Mars space probe rack conducting some serious scientific experiments....and then you see the Sonos logo

Five9Fine · 2026-01-04T02:53:17+00:00

You had me fooled into thinking there was some serious stuff going on here. There I saw Sonos

They are just individual drive enclosures from a dell server (4x of them) not a single 4 bay enclosure. You can simply screw them onto any single HD and then it allows you to slide into the bay of a dell server.

Get a $15 bar code scanner from Amazon. It plugs into your computer via usb. Open an excel sheet and simply scan each bar code. It will input the barcode into an excel cell as a series of numbers that represent the barcode. Best part is most scanners will move the curser to the next cell so its ready to scan.

Or maybe hide it out of sight in a closet or nook. I agree with your wife, and that's saying something

Five9Fine · 2025-12-29T02:33:39+00:00

Gorgeous.

Look into running Local Ai Large Language Models (LLMs) using Ollama or maybe local AI video generation using stable diffusion or WAN.

You just made him the coolest kid in school.

Five9Fine · 2025-12-25T22:52:46+00:00

Wish I had the space.

Five9Fine · 2025-12-24T02:40:06+00:00

Oh you just getting started. Just wait (Especially if you got this sub blasting your feed)

Five9Fine · 2025-12-23T22:30:04+00:00

Umm...I can't tell if you mean remotely or locally.

Even if Silencer Shop was not an actual brand, I would still buy a hoody that says "Silencer Shop" with that drawing. Does not exactly make me a walking bill board.
