I think if I can hold out a little while, something really nice is going |
| 20 |
to come along. It seems there is a good bit of interest in having a |
| 21 |
Raspberry Pi NAS that gives really good performance. I'm talking a NAS |
| 22 |
that is about the same speed as a internal drive. Plus the ability to |
| 23 |
use RAID and such. I'd like to have a 6 bay with 6 drives setup in |
| 24 |
pairs for redundancy. I can't recall what number RAID that is. |
| 25 |
Basically, if one drive fails, another copy still exists. Of course, |
| 26 |
two independent NASs would be better in my opinion. Still, any of this |
| 27 |
is progress. |

I've watched some videos by that guy but I don't recall seeing that |
| 30 |
one. That one, while pricey, shows that a lot can be done with a little |
| 31 |
Raspberry Pi. I read that a version 5 is coming, if they ever become |
| 32 |
available again. Right now, it seems the supply chain has grinded to a |
| 33 |
halt. It's hard to find quite a few things at the moment. |

Thanks for the link. I have a feeling even better is coming soon. |

P. S. My backup I started days ago, maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the way |
| 42 |
through. It's made it to the names starting with F. It has a ways to |
| 43 |
go. A lot of stuff starts with 'The'. That alone is quite large. It's |
| 44 |
making progress tho. Slowly. ;-) |
