If I understand correctly, the new Dash Drive will create a decentralized sharded database to help manage user accounts. There is a 5:1 redundancy in the case of failure but to be sure there are to be three large backup servers. It concerns me that someone feels, in the event of disaster, just three servers will be suffice to save the day. In my mind, it demonstrates a lack of faith in the current design and, therefore, a possible weakness in the event of a catastrophic event.
Keep in mind, Evolution is being designed for mass adoption. Any significant loss of data could wipe out the value of dash overnight. We therefore need a system that is incredibly robust. Something we can test and simulate to extremes, and show the system is capable of surviving.
