RAID6 was only invented because a certain large hardware manufacturer |

shipped a bunch of duff disks in one of its drive arrays. In practice |

it's not necessary, because if you're taking the kind of damage that |
| 13 |
kills multiple drives over a short period then you're going to lose |

more than two drives anyway. |
