    Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.






  • radical răd′ĭ-kəl adjective

    1. Arising from or going to a root or source; basic.
    2. Departing markedly from the usual or customary; extreme or drastic.
    3. Relating to or advocating fundamental or revolutionary changes in current practices, conditions, or institutions.
    

    I believe 2. is the most common colloquial use. It is perfectly possible to be a radical conservative; and I would actually argue that conservativism is a radical ideology, given that the world at large wants to make progress.




  • Missing details for & commands:

    • If you close the terminal, they’ll be killed
    • You can prevent this by running as “nohup command &” which will also log their output in nohup.out
    • They’re called background jobs and you can list them with the command jobs, bring one to the foreground with the command fg; crtl-z will freeze a foreground command and give you the prompt, and the command bg will background it again.
    • You can wait for all background jobs to finish by issuing the command “wait”.
