Damn. 2/8 drives in my array have died. I was going to replace them, but at this price point I might just delete some porn instead.

Or buy cloud storage.

    Don't buy cloud storage that's what they want you to do

    If two are dead, you probably should get at least one of them replaced. I'm assuming you are running a RAID 6 with zero redundancy at this point.

    I'm on RAID1 on btrfs, so I just rebalance and remove the disks as they break.
