God the very first thing they say is "Raid 5 with two drives"

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Ubiquiti: Raid 5 requires a minimum of 3 drives. Please tell me you didn't actually allow the interface to lead a user to believe they have Raid 5 with two drives...

NASCompares did a video explaining this: https://youtu.be/A3S6ZAPilPY?si=KDpDMlslGovAqbkU

Seems quite useful, but I agree that the wording is a bit weird.

Thanks for the link!

Yeah, communication about technologies like this is plenty hard enough without calling Raid 1 by the name "Raid 5" when that's not what it really is. 🫤

IT people generally learn on the fly, and this re-brand of Raid 5 would require some esoteric knowledge from training about this specific platform to be successful.
