If it goes out of business, or gets hacked, etc, your data might just disappear. I’ve been using Drobos for over a decade now. I’m on unit two now because the first one was a USB-1, and was getting too slow with data writing as files got larger. I think the one I have now is a Drobo 5d. They seem reliable, and are infinitely expandable by increasing drive capacity. They offer double disc redundancy, so if two drives kaak, you don’t lose anything, though this comes at the expense of capacity. bill > > > Dave > -- > Documenting Life in Rural Ontario. > www.caughtinmotion.com > http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ > York Region, Ontario, Canada > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and > follow the directions. > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
