Don’t Be Afraid of RAID

"I ran a scrub on my 8-disk RAID 5 array (based on 2 TB drives)" Replace with RAID 1 of 2 12TB drives and most of the article won't apply to you.

What do you mean? (I'm in the process of setting up a 2 mirrored 12tb drives)

A mirror set of two 12TB drives will perform much better than a eight disk RAID 5 array

Yeah, but what's the cost? RAID5's striping with parity is a cost-saving approach compared to mirroring. If you can afford to mirror all your data that will always be the better option.

8-bay NAS also costs. 2x 12TB and 2-bay NAS makes sense for speed, reliability and not too expensive.
