I thought long and hard about all the suggestions above.
I ended up with an inertial solution. I got the 4 bay version of the problematic hard drive enclosure for less than 100 bucks. I tested it for hash mismatches and there were none. I got two 8 TB drives and transferred the 12 TB or so music to these drives and had a few empty TB left over. I'm going to get two more 8 GB drives to keep backups but I will not put them in the unused bays in the enclosure because I don't want them spinning 24/7 just for backups. I'll likely purpose the NAS as a household backup system or at some point move the music over. It's good to have options. Thanks for everyone's help. http://zzzone.net http://have-a-nice-day.org http://www.last.fm/user/zzzoneDOTnet http://somethingsomethingsomething.net SBS 7.9 - i7 nuc - Win 10 64bit 5 Booms, 2 Radio, 3 Touch, 1 Duet, 5 piCorePlayers including 3 touchscreen, 1 Avy 2 controllers, various tablets/phones Apps including iPeng, Squeeze Ctrl etc. 'Library' (http://zzzone.net/photo/2009/music1.jpg): 397,000+ FLAC/MP3 files - 18 TB HD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jimzak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109946 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
