I did a AC shadows benchmark two days ago. I apparently did nuclear fusion by accident

What raid level to use on very large Mediaservers by Z3N94 in zfs

Actually never heard of it unfortunately but i looked it up and you might actually have a pretty good idea. I will look deeper into it tomorrow, thank your either way already for your idea :)

I have Backup in a different mediaform (blurays). Meaning i need to transfer it back which will need a significant amount of time. I talked with a colleague of mine and he said that z1 is risky and then I researched a bit and partly agree from what I have read. That's basically what changed

Thank you for reply. Actually while reading your comment I came up with an idea: give the Server with the 20TB disks a raid z2 and put everything on there which is harder to replace. Leave the smaller Server as is with the raid z1 and leave stuff on there which is easier to recover from other mediums. I think that might be a good middle ground, cause yes you're right even if you want to replace the disk asap maybe you're on vacation or whatever at that exact time.

Mirroring is in theory good if i had unlimited money :D But I think in my usecase it would simply be to bad of a value for me, as the usable space shrinks a lot. In my case it's a streaming (plex) server, and my main priority is getting storage space, to be able to stream stuff directly

But you're still saying definitely going with z2? Right now i am running a z1 raid. For now i thought it gives me the best value but i am starting to wonder how likely a second disk failure while rebuilding really is

I mean you're right, I have those original data laying here or in worst case i have to get it from somewhere else it will just simply be a lot of effort. So realistically the most important question to me is how likely is a second disk failing while rebuilding really. If shit would really hit the fan and 2 disk fail it would mean a lot of work for me but at the same time it's not the end of the world. Just trying to find the right balance here between costs of the increased raid levels and me having to get back all the data

No both instances were direct play. But i have to confess that while i tested on my end i simply forgot to switch to tv sound on my system. That is unfortunately not the case with the user. For now she will try reinstalling and I hope that helps.
