Following my own advice, I bought a NAS box and two 1.5TB drives
yesterday when I went home to Raleigh. I configured it as RAID1
(mirrored) this morning.
The 1.5TB drives (Seagate Barracuda) were $80 each; 2TB drives would
have been $180 each.
I needed more storage space for this computer. This was my primary
computer up until 2007 when I got my current laptop. It's got a 200GB
hard-disk, and it's almost full. There's only room enough in the case
for one hard-disk.
There wasn't enough room for me to bring in my photos from 2008 - 2010
or to add anything for 2011. I've been doing the USB swap boogie, which
doesn't work all that well given my natural laziness. I haven't been
getting any work done because it was such a hassle to get the right
backup drive connected.
Having "permanent" disk space now should alleviate that. Files are being
copied while I write.
And, it's going to free up a bunch of USB drives so I can do a better
job of "walking the walk" when it comes to keeping "off-site" backups.
