Re: Dumb storage question.
*IF* I had not already purchased most of the components to build my home-built file server I would have gone with a Synology 5-bay NAS box when they first became available. I like the Seagate IronWolf drives & you could get the current "Synology 5-bay NAS DiskStation DS1520+ (Diskless)" + 5x4TB drives for about $1,100 USD and with WD Red 4TB drives for about $1,115 USD. (The WD drives are $3 more than the Seagate) ... plus shipping, tax & whatever fees Canada imposes on imports from the U.S. That's about what I spent to build my home-built file server, although I also have 5x2TB drives in addition to the 5x4TB drives. Synology DS1520+: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=Synology+5-bay+NAS+DiskStation+DS1520%2B Drives: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100167523%20600374777%20600457700 It also looks like you can buy one with the drives already installed for about $800 - $1,000 more than buying the diskless one and installing the drives yourself. If I were starting all over I'd get the Synology instead of building my own. On 4/28/2022 3:42 AM, mike wilson wrote: Second vote for Synology.

I presume that whatever I buy will be a raid device of some sort. My major criteria is it should be as idiot proof as possible.

Re: Geology...?
This time I actually managed to take a photo even if I didn't get it processed in time to submit it. Maybe I'll put it up on Flickr later.

Re: May PUG is Up!
Ditto what the guys said... and Ralf, your photo of the white cliffs of Ault , Stan's B Denali and Jostein's well eroded colorful scene are my personal favorites ,but the whole gallery is so interesting and diverse. Was a bit surprised not to see entries from a couple of people who frequently have shown very geology approrpiate shots - notably Larry and Ken . The open is going to be the most challenging for me - so har to make up my mind these days about anything one needs limits :-) ann On 5/3/2022 3:43 PM, Ralf R Radermacher wrote: Am 03.05.22 um 09:12 schrieb Brian W: An even bigger gallery this month.
