Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Was considering getting a drobo - anybody got one? I'm not sure I'll ever need more than 32TB."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Not got one with the DroboShare as NAS though, but it's dead easy to use, expand and have running.
One annoying thing is that it will show up as a 2TB drive (or multiple drives) whether there is more or less than 2TB - unless they have updated the firmware recently. So I have 1.25TB free (plus the striping / redundancy) but it shows up as 2TB free when I started it.
That said, for expandable, more reliable backup, I'd recommend one. I just then use xcopy to copy the files over from the hard drive to the drobo.
IIRC someone else here has one - spacecadet, possibly??Last edited by TheFaQQer; 15 December 2008, 21:01.Comment

Oodles of space!
What is sad is that the biggest user of disk space is Boinc.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

It was only a few years ago that I worked out how long until I would have a terabyte of storage at home.
Assuming doubling of capacity every 18 months or so, I should have a petabyte on the home server by 2017.Comment
