      Nothing says "Wake up! Wake up!" like thousands of tiny droplets of water that feel like they are just barely out of the freezer pelting you from the shoulders down.

      How did that happen?

      It was raining faster than my umbrella could deflect the water, lol. We're under flash flood watches at the moment too.

          As long as he can change the rain to gone, or make it wait until about 10pm, lol.

            Realizing trying to make "reasonable" forecasts of how much storage will be needed for our office server will not be an exercise in precision.

              And right after typing the above and reading a ML post about upgrading a domain , the prudent solution smacks me in the face after saying "duh." Spend $180, turn the RAID 5 into a RAID 10, then look for a real solution for storage.

                $0.02

                Been pretty happy with our synology units - there's a lot of options depending on your needs.

                  Yeah. We have two. The one in the local office will now be used for backups, rather than for storage for VHDs that our local VMs use. The one at the data center will be sold to recover a little of the cost from when it was bought before I was hired, as that data was moved to local storage with enterprise-class hard drives. The local office Synology will still be using WD-Reds, but I'm not as concerned since the role of that device is changing.

                    Not sure I'd host a VM on them but I have to say for file storage and all our backup requirements + the cloud software - they are good value and work pretty darn well

                      @MattSpeller VHDs for the VMs were on the Raid 5. What was on the Synology was originally a pass-through disk (iSCSI) acting as a storage drive for one of the VMs. Forgive me if I was unclear.

                          We have a lot of it around here. Have you watched my MangoCon video?

                              The irrational stuff that gets posted on these threads makes my head hurt. He knows what makes sense but instead of just saying he doesn't want to do the obvious, he just makes up anything to try to rationalize his randomness.

                                        It's really how they teach it too. We worship the system and glorify it as being more important than the results that it produces. It's like a class where we care that they did the work but don't care if they answer is any good.
