RAID 6 SNIA defined...
editNow that SNIA has widened the definition for RAID6, should these RAID6 implementations be moved to the main raid page vs here on the nonstandard?
Citation Needed
editThis article contains information about non-standard RAID. I would like to know where the information was obtianed to verify accuracy. Also this information would be helpful to others seeking more info on these implemmentations. Phatom87 (talk • contribs • count)
Btrfs RAID1C3 & C4
editI could not find any info in wikipedia about the support in Btrfs for RAID1C3 and RAID1C4 options. I think it's worth at least mentioning since the information seems useful and interesting to this topic.
RAID1C3 & RAID1C4 were introduced in June 2019
A couple summaries include succinct descriptions that these modes specify three or four copies instead of the default two found in other RAID1 configurations.
Any thoughts, comments, or concerns on adding this info with these sources?

If there is information on btrfs RAID1 modes added, you should note that the mode named "raid1" is itself not the standard RAID1, but rather is a non-standard mode that works similarly to RAID1E (the difference is that the btrfs mode can also use combinations of different-sized drives).

Unraid
editI saw the "citation needed" for the "high price" claim under Unraid, and the most expensive offering I could find is US$129 for "Pro". While that may be a lot when compared to, y'know, free (which is the price of most Linux distros) it's still cheap when compared to an equivalent Windows license. I think this "disadvantage" could be rephrased to something like "relatively high price" or even just "not free". -- Erik Siers (talk) 15:28, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's also possible to just remove that part as the price of the unraid product isn't necessarily relevant to the implementation (or function) of the non standard RAID. Alternatively it could be combined with the earlier part "closed-source code" to mention that it is non-FOSS. R8xor8 (talk) 14:45, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
