You have a 16 tb mycloud? The tops I’ve seen so far is 4 tb. Could I buy two 16’s and combine them into one 32? I know that I can get a WD external drive and expand the 4 tb model up to 7 or 8. I’ve already got 8tb comfortably filled though and need the headroom.
At the moment I’m in the middle of building myself a 32 tb tonido cloud based on a raspberry pi. Best, Erik Burggraaf On Nov 27, 2014, at 6:51 PM, Kliph <kliphzkor...@icloud.com> wrote: > Wow! 32TB?
