> I did some research, and a RAID wouldn’t have saved it either, RAID protects against drive failure, not against silent page corruption that gets faithfully replicated to every mirror.

That being said, the article has some strong signal of AI writing in it. So it's possible the author isn't really learning well from the experience either. :(
