Maybe i was unprecise?

Well, looooong time ago we used 10TB disks as bricks (JBOD). replicate
3 setup. Then one of the bricks failed: the volume was ok (since 2
bricks were left), but after the hdd change the reset-brick produced a
very high load/iowait. So a raid1 or raid10 is the attempt to avoid
the reset-brick in favor of a sw raid rebuild - iirc this can run with
a lower priority -> less problems in the running system.
