Was looking over data sheet and wanted to see if the USBC port could be network enabled like a thunderbolt port could be?
Expecting no as USBC is new to routeros but would be cool workaround to lack of SPF+ port
Ok as always need an odd number of drives in a mirror and majority working to validate no data loss/corruption want to see a comparison based on how zfs actually works.
2 drive Mirror can lose 1 drive can NOT validate data corruption or not rot.
3 (and 4) Drive Mirror while physically possible has same problem as 2 drive Mirror
5 drive Mirror can lose 2 drives no data loss and can validate bit rot and corruption (all ODD numbers of drive Mirrors after can as well)
Now if you do not care speed but ONLY data security can a Z2 with 3 drives do what is needed with a 5 way mirror or a z3 with 4 drives do with a 7 way mirror
Other then reduced drives per zfs code this seems to be correct am I misunderstanding or due to the strip nature the additional drives of the mirror are better and why.
Note this thread only cares about data redundancy it does not care about speed. It is given that the Z2 and the z3s will be slower due to additional writes.
