Yeah, big. No actually GIGANTIC problem with this RAID solution.

Yes it does give you the performance uplift it claims that said it does it at the cost of risking data integrity as it does not have a effective consistency check on the array's data. It can't even protect against bit rot proactively.

If all you care about is performance and the full integrity of the data you are handling is not relevant unless the damage makes it completely useless which would be the case with most compressed video footage storage, this is definitely not for you.

If a single bit error can never happen on your data AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS!

For reference here is a video from proper testing on this solution:

Surely no errors can occur during storage or retrieval with any of today's multi-Terabyte NVME SSDs!!! (Or, at least this controller so hopes!)

Are you supposed to keep backups??? No??

Isn't it a common practice to keep daily backups? Then most companies keep 1 copy of full weekly/montly backup.

RAID has nothing to do with drive level data consistency. RAID's purpose is only allow you to combined several drives together to form a large one, some modes with redundancy, some dont.

Bit rot is a drive level issue and not array level. With or without raid, you still have problems with bit rot.

But bit rot is not a big problem to begin with because companies mostly have their own backups. So you get multiple copies of the same data and you could recover it when you need it.

Its of course entirely possible to schedule consistency check periodically.

Watch the video before commenting. Modern raid is dead as stated

As he states in the video there is no data correction on that graphics card
