OK so I know this is OT but wasn't sure really what forum this would best go into.
Right now my storage is a giant hodgepodge of 3 3TB and a 500gb external drives. And a mix of usb2 (2), firewire, and thunderbolt. Right now it is very vulnerable to a disk failure which makes me nervous, even though it isn't critical data just video and music, it would be a bear to recover.
I'm looking for suggestions to better handle all of this.
Right now I'm leaning toward getting a Synology DS411J or 412J as they seem reliable and value minded. Cost is an issue for me.
What about other ideas? How do other folks with large data needs handle storage? Am I looking in the right area or am I overlooking something critical?
Thanks for reading.
