What do you mean? (I'm in the process of setting up a 2 mirrored 12tb drives)


A mirror set of two 12TB drives will perform much better than a eight disk RAID 5 array


Yeah, but what's the cost? RAID5's striping with parity is a cost-saving approach compared to mirroring. If you can afford to mirror all your data that will always be the better option.


8-bay NAS also costs. 2x 12TB and 2-bay NAS makes sense for speed, reliability and not too expensive.
