Musical Hard Drives
Early Friday morning around say... 6am I decided to play musical hard drives and move the 3x 640GB drives from my file server into my desktop since my file server didn't spend enough time at home for it to be worthwhile. This was also due to not having enough stuff to actually justify keeping all the drives in the server. It grows by about 1GB of TV shows a month so 3x 250GB drives in RAID 5 is good enough for my server's storage needs. So I went through the process of backing up and syncing the content between my server and my desktop so I could safely swap the drives and restore the data. The photo above//left is when I had all 6 of the drives on my desk before I put the sleds onto the 250GB drives. My desktop now has a happy 1.2TB RAID 5 for backup and bulk storage along with a 640GB work-space drive and a 250GB OS drive.

That’s pretty ridiculous. FYI.
