No, because the Texas schools don’t know what those are.

I haven’t used raidz but a quick search tells me it supports single-drive expansion.

Maybe reconfigure your raidz as a 2-drive system, then copy over all your data into it, and expand it back into a 3-drive system after.

Well they make a lot of sense if you can’t trust your clients.

My high school’s computer lab were all thin clients. I was told each cost like 20$ (wouldn’t be surprised if he exaggerated the cheapness a bit), and the server was being used for more than just the thin clients, anyway.

So when my old job had it, about 5 (out of 30) people in my area just couldn’t open it.

Not the same five, IT would frequently reinstall it to fix it, but it would just break constantly.

Work computers, very locked down, couldn’t do any alternative to it at the time, and we worked remote, so while everyone else had chat, some unfortunate people needed constant updates via email.

The question was who would be SOL, not if someone would be, that day.

Well I figure he does want control.

Also, if theres two competitors and both could give more than a 2x return, then its a safe bet. The only way its an unsafe bet is if they can both fail, but hes clearly not thinking about that kind of thing.
