Sorry to anyone who’s been trying to access the server the last 24 hours, I’ve had to take it down a couple times. I’ve just installed two new 1TB hard drives (RAID 1), and split the previous 750GB RAID 1 into two separate drives, giving me a total usable capacity of… 2.5TB! Seems like lots of storage now… but in a year I am quite certain it will be almost full, yet again.<\/p>\n

I ordered the 750GB (x2) drives last November, and in a year I managed to almost fill them.<\/p>\n

This was my data transfer setup during the last leg of my file\u00a0operations. The 320GB had to go to make room for the new\u00a0drives, so I’m using a USB-SATA\/IDE adapter to\u00a0transfer the last of my files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
