I am sure that this may have been brought up before many times. But Unraid seriously needs to allow for increased Parity drive counts... 2 is just not enough when you get larger drive counts. I had a fault occur that corrupted 3 drives on my array and now i have lost 15TB of data.. i would say at least 1 Parity drive per 5 Data drives at minimum should be allowed

Unrealistic to expect more than 2 parity for any group of drives. However, having multiple groups is definitely being worked on, so your overall goal of increasing parity drives on a single Unraid install is happening sometime soon.

I honestly dont see how it is unrealistic to expect more than 2 drives to fail when you get up to 15 - 30 drives on a group. Especially on situations where faulty hardware could cause corruptions over multiple disks. or power faults as well. Developers can do as they wish, i know there is nothing anything we can do to change that so im not sitting here demanding that it be implemented.. Im just saying call it as it is.. its not unrealistic.. they just dont want to do it. Whether it is too complicated or just stubbornness. But like i said, its their software. they can do as they like. even if it is foregoing something a lot of people could benefit from.

I am not sure i agree with the term "unrealistic" however it is worth noting that outside of ZFS triply redundant RAID levels do not appear to be widely available (aside from mirror setups). Now that would mean having support in unRAID would be a stand out feature, but it also likely indicates that such a feature could be quite challenging to implement.
