Don't you generally need a certain amount of GB? I know I plan my
storage based on how much data I have, even my home systems. And THEN
add in the overhead for redundancy. If we're talking about such a
small amount of storage ("home") that the $/GB is not a factor (ie,
even with the most expensive $/GB drives we won't exceed the budget and
we don't have better things to spend the money on anyway) then raidz3
seems unnecessary. I mean, just do a triple mirror of the 1.5TB drives
rather than say (6) .5TB drives in a raidz3.
