 +<code>
 +
 +In a ZFS dRAID (declustered RAID) the hot spare drive(s) participate in the RAID. Their spare capacity is reserved and used for 
 +rebuilding when one drive fails. This provides, depending on the configuration, faster rebuilding compared to a RAIDZ in 
 +case of drive failure. More information can be found in the official OpenZFS documentation. [1]
 +Note: dRAID is intended for more than 10-15 disks in a dRAID. A RAIDZ setup should be better for a lower amount of disks in most use cases.
 +Note: The GUI requires one more disk than the minimum (i.e. dRAID1 needs 3). It expects that a spare disk is added as well.
 +
 +    dRAID1 or dRAID: requires at least 2 disks, one can fail before data is lost
 +
 +    dRAID2: requires at least 3 disks, two can fail before data is lost
 +
 +    dRAID3: requires at least 4 disks, three can fail before data is lost
