There's a discussion in progress on my facebook page that I'm sure several on this list will find interesting. In short, I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive way to come up with roughly 8TB of storage, in a single box, for my raw photo files, rather than my current practice of just adding on external drives as I go.
https://www.facebook.com/ellarsee/posts/10151357803404673 In practical use, I could probably get by with just using a smaller external drive for my current work, and only fire up the bigger box when I want to access stuff that has been archived (how cheap are SSD boot/system disks these days?). There are a variety of interesting suggestions: drobo, $300 for last generation, $800 for current, plus drives FreeNAS Greyhole OpenIndiana Some links of interest http://www.drobo.com/ http://www.freenas.org/ http://www.greyhole.net/ http://openindiana.org/ http://illumos.org http://zfsonlinux.org/ http://www.frys.com/product/7293213?site=sa:adpages%20page:P2_FRI%20date:081611 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822240010&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA http://www.frys.com/product/7019751?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
