I just replaced my Synology chassis with a new unit, somehow it took my ragtag array of 2TB drives and accepted them all. I'm tempted, now that I can back up the array over USB3 instead of USB2, of replacing the drives (some of them are 8 years old!) and restoring from backup. I'd like to go from 5x2TB to 4x??TB with a hot spare, don't know if I can replace 4 of the the drives and grow the array, then take a drive out. One thing sorely missing in the othernets is a homelab/small business/networking echo. Avon had talked about setting one up in FSXnet, but nothing yet. There are a lot of Synology/TrueNAS/Proxmox/VMWare folks out there... --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 * Origin: realitycheckBBS.org -- information is power. (700:100/20) .
