Hello Rob,

If I add one or two 800GB NVMe drives, ending up with 3 or 4, what RAID alternatives does that open up?

Level 10: Mirrored drive pairs (1) with striping (0) on top. Or in other words, let SLIC do the scatter/gather (striping) thing as it has done since 1988, and mirroring "below" for protection.

Keep in mind that they are coming from spinning disks which absolutely crawl compared to SSDs let alone NVMe drives.

What's the message behind this? "Even if it's a bit slower, it's still faster than anything they can dream of"?

:wq! PoC
