Re: Stupid RAID question
Not being one to spend a lot of time or effort on researching things, I decided on the Synology DS1522+ disk station and will be filling it with 5 Seagate IronWolf 8tb NAS drives. I decided I want to replace my Drobo as my main storage because that company seems to have gone away during covid and as they use a proprietary encoding, if the box dies, my image files go with it. Hopefully it will serve me well. All the products seem very well rated. Thanks Larry for the advice. bill -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
This would be on my bingo card.
What would not surprise me, though years too late on one feature … \ two new features for the new bodies 1) full streaming support 2) full weatherproofing — Though each might stand out as an outdoor streaming camera. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Stupid RAID question
See if it will do RAID 6. That gives you TWO stripes of redundancy and it allows for a second disk failure if one should occur while you're rebuilding the array after a first disk failure. That's what I did with my home-built file server. On 2/5/2023 4:07 PM, Bill wrote: OK guys and gals, here is your dumbass question of the month. Yes it's coming early. I'm looking at RAID enclosures, and am leaning towards Synology, but haven't settled on which one. I'm looking at the DiskStation DS1522+ or the DiskStation DS620slim It looks like either will suit my needs well into the future. They talk about RAID configurations, and this is where I run out of brains. I'm thinking RAID 5 would be the configuration I want for maximum redundancy, but I really know nothing about this. Any thoughts from the would be greatly appreciated. thanks bill -- -- Vivere in aeternum aut mori conatur -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: AI 'Art'
They're nice, but not really to my taste. But that's how "art" works sometimes.

Re: Price of K3-III dropping in Europe
The black one is 1899 UK pounds (=2121 euro) at Wex London. The highest price so far. Funny, the K-1 II has the same price there.
