Hey, I don't judge. I love all my data hoarder brothers and sisters. I'm just saying, eventually, everyone goes a little crazy and they need to have 100 Pb of storage and when that happens, you fall into the rabbit hole that is the diy NAS server.
It's a data hoarder forum. Everyone hangs around enough on this forum is bound to becomes a NAS diyer at some point. May as we make suggestions toward the inevitability.
Yes.
My comment was aimed more at he diyers who setup their own NAS solution
Short: runs tests that have a high probability of detecting device problems
Extended or Long: the test is the same as the short check but with no time limit and with complete disk surface examination
Conveyance: identifies if damage incurred during transportation of the device
Ask for a long report before buying. Then run a conveyance when you receive after shipping if you buy.
If you get for free, run a long test.
Depends how used and how much you like your data.
If your buying, I'd for a S.M.A.R.T test report before buying.
If they are free, run a S.M.A.R.T test before you put any data you don't want to lose.
Always have redundancy.
VPN and SFTP. That is the way.
Why try to price match anyway? Why not buy it from Micro Center??!?!
