My NAS has been making a disturbing sound lately. I can probably just replace the fan, but it gives me an excuse to get a new one. My current one is slow. It was dirt cheap but I kinda got what I paid for.

RAID 1 is pretty safe and simple, RAID 0 is kinda scary but fast. I think the only thing you're missing is offsite storage. There's RAID 10 which is two RAID 1 arrays combined in a RAID 0 array to get the benefits of both. Course if you have four drives you could use RAID 5, but I suspect that would lower performance quite a bit from RAID 10.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I can use RAID 5 with only three drives, right?
It's funny because I just bought the extra one, but it's pretty clear that my storage needs are about to expand pretty exponentially.
I'm now thinking about using the 3TB as a normal standalone, and changing out my NAS entirely.

I'm going to say something that has probably been said many times before.
itunes has totally screwed me and I have no idea how to redeem this situation.
No matter how many how too guides I read, I cannot seem to fix the fact that itunes 11 swallowed hundreds of songs and now won't let me add the few I have left to my iphone/touch.
I'm so pissed, I could scream.
I have two previous itunes library back ups but I can't get either one of them onto the phone. What the everloving WHAT.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You're not using iTunes Match, are you?

No, tommy. I don't even know what that is.
following up to say, I've never seen that before. I don't even know how to use the cloud.
I got along fine with itunes before. Why do they have to screw with what works and not give you the option to opt out?
I guess I could look at this as a fresh start, but that means I will have to spend untold hours trying to recreate something in a tool I don't even trust.
GOD I'm annoyed.

I downloaded senuti but, while it sees the music, all titles are greyed out and won't transfer to the iphone.
Does anyone have any idea why the iphone seems to be closed to me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When you say it swallowed your music, are the files deleted?

Yep. Deleted files.
I could not sync the phone manually, for some reason, so I hit the auto sync and instead of updating the phone with what is left of my itunes material, it erased the phone.
