It's in RAID 1 configuration and it is the backup. Don't have offsite backup except for a few things.
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On the wired PC, the display of this test folder was effectively instantaneous. Unwired, to the laptop--I opened the window before navigating to the Synology page, read it, came back here, started typing, and it's not populated yet.
Gotta find the damned network cable and see what the speed difference is there. Sure, I expect slow, but seriously? Still? Not yet?

Cool, Gud, thanks for the link, because I've pretty much concluded I need to repace the Linkstation. I pulled the USB drive off and am reformatting it exFAT to us as one of the Pro Tools externals. It's maybe halfway through from last night.
ita !, I have lag issues, but minor, not nearly what you're describing.

Which Drobo do you have, Drew?

If you have an Apple store nearby take the battery in,
I live in Iowa. I'd have to drive to another state to find one.

I have the five bay Drobo FS I think. I'm in a theatre and not in the office right now.

No problem, I was just looking for a basic sense.
Hmm. Gotta assess my needs. I could maybe make the current NAS into a media server, and replace it with a more expandable NAS.
Do you keep optical copies of your clients' work, or do you hand them a hard drive and walk away? The SO doesn't want to start a pile of dvds or blurays or whatever that lives forever in the studio.
We opted for the 27" as per your recommendation, btw. It should get here on Saturday (ahead of schedule!)

I used to do optical storage but I gave up on that quite a few years ago. Since some of my projects can be a few hundred GB at a time, it is just too much.
My current backups run like this. Main project drive in the studio that is used for all of the actual recording and editing. a 4 TB Time Machine volume on the studio that is doing hourly backups. At the end of each day that I'm working in the studio the full project is copied to a NAS, and at times also to a pocket USB drive. When projects are completed they are archived to the Drobo. When I need to hand full things off to clients I do that using a pocket hard drive or a large flash drive. Lately I've been buying 32 and 64 GB jump drives and am loving that the 128 GB ones have falling prices.

Wait, so *is* your main project drive the 4TB Time machine volume? Or the Time Machine backs up your main project drive hourly?
