  • Why is HD or 3D so impressive on a flat screen, but we walk around in real life with the highest definition possible and the most realistic 3D and it's completely mundane?

    Jump

  • because the thing on the screen doesn't really exist, so when it appears to really exist it feels like magic

  • The whole article listing the various uses of flamethrowers, like environmental conservation, then mentioning concerns that flamethrowers can double as weapons is just... I don't even know what to do with that.

    it even lists napalm as an intended use. gonna conserve the hell out of that commie rainforest, I guess?

  • Is RAID still needed?

    Jump

  • yeah true. I guess what I'm saying is the considerations probably have changed, I seriously doubt RAID is no longer useful though.

  • Is RAID still needed?

    Jump

  • 3-2-1 is for backup, RAID is also for availability, eg your domain server not going down in case of drive failure. good point though.

  • Is RAID still needed?

    Jump

  • yeah but if SSD failing is now less likely that other parts of the machine it might be better to focus on a redundant server to fail over to.. it's an interesting thought. RAID isn't obsolete I don't think but it's an interesting question

  • Is RAID still needed?

    Jump

  • I do recall google apparently stopped using raid in some data centres, but it was because they had whole-machine redundancy.

    RAID is probably redundant for some of the uses it used to have, like optimising read performance by using many drives (SSD is fast) and honestly I suspect that SSDs are probably more reliable as they don't have a bunch of platters and bearings and screaming rotational speeds.

    So if you needed it for a base level of reliability, an SSD on its own may have exceeded that.

    I suspect there are still uses for drive redundancy in some high availability setups.. although your friend might be right. If the likelihood of drive failure is lower than other parts in the machine and you need high redundancy for availability it might make more sense to replicate the whole machine rather than the drives.

    It's possible redundancy specifically for the drives was an artifact of unreliable drives back in the day 🤔 they might have a point! I think it's likely still useful at times though.

    I'd rather hotswap a drive than set up a new server, even if it's a less likely scenario.
