Yeah, I finally decided I really read enoug articles that I should just pay for it.

This was very useful to me for obsessive five thirty eight reading leading up to the election.

Hey, Gud, is your Synology expandable? Can you add additional units to it that tie into the existing RAID?
I just added up the rest of the house, and I'm going to need about 10TB if I want to do mirroring, and that's leaving aside any long term storage space I need. Which is insane, by the way, that's a very silly number. But it's the number I need.
I've got about a half an hour more left and I'll have completed the data rescue on my dead laptop.

Nope. They have more expensive units that can do that, but they are overkill for my needs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm going to keep burying my head in the sand with regard to my storage needs.

Course, it's probably cheaper to buy multiple NAS units than buy an expandable one and expand it.

I know, Tom, I'm really having a hard time stumping up the cash, but I know I need to do it.

On the plus side, my new, maxed out, Mac Mini arrives this week! With the 1TB Fusion drive. Which will last me through the end of the year, I think. Maybe.

Sweet!
The last non-invasive attempt at fixing the dead laptop has failed. It is just sitting there waiting for me to be ready to go nuclear. But I got all the data pulled, so there's no real reason for me to be timid.

Our wings are not tired
I'm looking at getting a desktop Drobo in addition to my Drobo FS because my media has outgrown the 4 TB external drive I'm currently using. I'm looking at just the standard 4 Bay Drobo.
I've been really happy with my Drobo FS and I've even seen it recover from a drive failure flawlessly. It had four drives installed and I walked in one day to see the red light on one of the drive slots indicating a failed mechanism. I pulled the bad one, dropped in a new one, the system did its thing and I didn't lose any data or have downtime. I shipped the bad drive back to Seagate on an RMA and less than 10 days later had a replacement from them.
