My new drive

[ZWarrior]

I may or may not have mentioned that last spring I picked up a D-Link DNS321 to store my data on the network since there is no room on my file server any longer.

The first drive into it was the 500GB Western Digital I had sitting around on my desk for several months.  This was nice and it meant that I could store my digital media and other files there without worrying about server access.

Last week I had a critical failure of my Western Digital 500GB Passport drive (I kinda dropped it and separated the USB jack from the breadboard) and had to get a new case for drive in it.  While getting that I found the Deal of the Day...

Seagate ST31500341AS for $129.

That would be .086 per GB for a 1.5 TERABYTE drive!!!

This brings my NAS to a total of 2TB of storage!!  This is as much storage as Gateway Computers had in their data center in 1998.  I swear I never thought I would see the day that there would be that much storage in a home.

The drives are now at their regular price again of $179.

At this point I am not planning on being back in KC until the new year, but if anybody wants some shopping done the MicroCenter is halfway between my hotel and my client.

Just don't tell my wife... she grounded me from there.

You know that not all porn is worth keeping?

[snauzberries]

Why do you say that?


you need some

[ZWarrior]

No, he has most of it already.  Remember... he had access to lots of storage space for a loooong time.

Damn, Snauz you have me beat by 500GB. I hope I can keep this job, I need to fix that.
