Yes. I'm the guy responsible for everything that's broken at any given moment.

You got a HDD reccomendation for a simple 2 drive NAS?

I'm not sure how much longer I can trust my laptop

gonna run it in raid

paranoid about losing data

How "warm" is the storage?

Like, are you going to be accessing and changing it routinely, or is it more for long-term storage?

quite often. i wasn't sure if I should go with WD reds for longevity

or just switch out drives more often every year or two

I haven't kept up that well with what's on the market. I'd say one of the mature and affordable magnetic drives would be the way to go.

Or...two...as it were.

guess it doesn't matter so much. just getting another opinion

Cool, nerd stuff.

Avoid the SSDs. That's really all I got.

SSDs are great and wonderful for one's day-to-day work, but the magnetic drives are the way to go in your particular context. Raid 1 with an affordable off-the-shelf non-fancy WD brand sounds like it would fit the bill.

Just pony up for a decent UPS to go along with it that also protects the ethernet cable if the NAS isn't wireless.

The best drive in the world can't do shit if it's zapped or gets corrupted by a power outage. And configure your NAS to communicate wiht your UPS, so that when it runs out of juice, the NAS powers down gracefully rather than shitting the bed.

Yeah, nerd shit.

Who else lives in Indiana. I'm looking at Madison.

?

Paoli.

I meant beside you. Know anything about Madison, IN?

How far is Paoli from Louisville?

I live in Scottsburg.

Paoli is about an hour and a half I would say.

Madison is an hour or so.

I'm 30 minutes.

Yikes

What's in Scottsburg?

Fucking nothing.

A walmart.

And some shitty restaurants.

I'll try my luck in Madison

Scottsburg has an excellent high school cross country course. Got one of my best times there.

Are meetups more frequent in Indiana?

Yeah, it's not bad.

The problem is Indiana is long as fuck.

Kentucky is the same.

But Madison has a ton of events throughout the year.

I'll be in Wisconsin this week

Oh not that Madison
