       | The greatest thing about it is that you can just add more storage
       | whenever you want, without having to resilver the whole array.
       | Also if one drive fails, the data on the other drives is still
       | completely accessible.
       | 
       | Having said that, I've never had a drive fail without warning
       | (had some that started to go bad, but I've replaced them in the
       | array before they became inaccessible), so I still haven't had to
       | use the data recovery aspect of it yet. I did test recovering a
       | deleted file and that worked though.

       | The downside is that you can only recover to your last snapshot,
       | so it's up to you to set up a schedule or remember to sync the
       | array often.
