@i386 Very curious how someone squeezes 200+GB out of mdadm also...

Another topic, how is the write hole problem of RAID6 usually workaround ? I was planning for 2 x Intel P5800x for it in RAID1

@i386 Thanks for the link, I was aware of it, reason for which the planning for Intel optane SSDs.
Was wondering from another perspective, as on many forums I rarely see people even mentioning write caches. Is a common practice to just not have any kind of cache and just take the hit of a full consistency check after such an event? Or it's way less common encountered in production environment that people do not worry that much?
