I’ll also recommend the type c.

I personally wouldn’t use raidz1 because it seems too risky to me. I’d have higher redundancy.

The last link is talking about actual raid and not zfs. But it has a 50/50 chance with a URE rate of 10^14 to lose the array. Raidz1 maybe won’t have that catastrophic of a failure, but you’d still be rolling the dice on some corruption.

Other people gave a good explanation of raid and some alternatives like zfs in truenas.

You want to avoid RAID5 with drives above 4TB. Every hard drive has can have an unrecoverable read error (URE) during the read. It’s a very low percentage change that your hard drive publishes. During a raid 5 rebuild after replacing a drive, the other drives are stressed for a long time during the rebuild. With high capacity drives you have a pretty large chance of encountering a URE and losing the entire array. The high stress on the drives can also cause drive failure if another drive was on its way out.

I run truenas core at home in volumes that looks like raid 10. Two mirror volumes striped together for performance.

I never played around with raidz1 (like raid 5) but you still have the chance of an URE during the resilver. I can’t comment if it’s possible or what happens during an error. I did see people recommending raidz2 to allow for two disc failures from losing data during a resilver.

That sounds like a possible race condition when multiple requests are executing at the same time. Without knowing anything about the design, perhaps you could look into database transactions. You could also look into generating load via jmeter, but then we wouldn’t get a picture.

I don’t think I’ve used any cleaner product since the Windows XP days. I don’t view it as necessary anymore.

One of the other programs to see file size on disk recommended on this thread should be enough.

I would highly recommend O&O ShutUp10++ to reduce built in spying in Windows. It’s good at explaining what each option you’re doing is. The only thing I would caution on is changing the Edge browser policies with O&O. That will lock it down into enterprise mode and you won’t be able to change certain settings through the UI anymore.

Some good recommendations in this thread. You should give the following a try.

• Woodford Reserve Wheated. It’s very smooth and I think it’s the best value for money you can get. This is my personal favorite right now
• Michters Small Batch. Good and robust flavor
• Weller. If you can find it, but you probably won’t.
• Angels Envy is very good and smooth
• Four Roses Small Batch
• Penelope Toasted is alright. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t wow value for the price. It’s a good bourbon though
• 1792 is good.
• Rabbit Hole is good
• Blade and Bow is good

Blanton’s is very good at MSRP, but it’s hard to find at a good price and the second hand market value is pretty high.

I’m interested to see what hosted options are out there as well.

If you’re willing to consider alternatives, take a look at Greenshot. It’s a free and open source local program that takes a screenshot which allows you to edit it directly and copy the image to clipboard without saving.

It includes the ability to add text, blur out parts, crop, draw arrows. Just press print screen to capture an image.
