July 18, 201213 yr Why with unRAID is it that the number of parity drives required to secure the data on the data storage drives doesn't scale with the number of data drives? Why, if say 1 parity drive is needed to support 2 drives, is only 1 drive necessary still to support even 10 data storage drives? I'm sorry but I don't understand the basics I guess.
July 18, 201213 yr It's simple, but people tend to over-think it. Take a stab at reading this part of the FAQ and let us know if you still have questions! http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ#How_does_parity_work.3F
July 18, 201213 yr Author OK, I get it now, thanks. It's also crystal clear now why you can't have more than one drive fail at the same time.
