S, I bought a Drobo a while back for external back-ups. I fed it 3x750gb
Seagates and dropped a whole bunch of stuff onto it, some 375gb worth of
stuff eventually. I was looking for something yestrday and realized that I
had put a whole bunch of duplicate files on it by dropping entire back ups
onto it rather than doing incremental additions so...
I downloaded a duplicate detection program and found something like 3400
duplicate files, which I nuked.
Now the Drobo has about 250gb of used space, but it took it almost 3 hours
of chugging away to get itself straight again.
I presume it defragged itself and did some file shuffling.
Eventually, the noise of multiple hard drives ticking away becomes as
annoying as the neighbour's dog barking at 3 in the morning.
I'm still happy with the thing, but I wish I had waited the month or so for
the Firewire version.
And would have, if I had known about it.....
And.....
I published a small book using the good folks over at blurb.com.
http://www.blurb.com/books/384637
I ordered a copy of it as a trial, and am very impressed with their work. It
wasn't really cheap, to be sure, but the quality is definitely there.
What I see on my monitor is pretty much exactly what they published in the
book.
