![]() ![]() Is everyone who tried synology happy with SHR?Ĭan someone give me a recommendation for the best but affordable Synology drive for personal not enterprise use, that would: So, I’d have to use SHR instead of RAID, and I’m unfamiliar with how well that works. Nor do I want to give up the ease of upgrading to larger drives via hot swap. I don’t want to have to go through the pain of wiping them all and restoring from back ups in the new Synology unit, but that can’t be helped. None of the 8 TB drives on the Drobo (edit from dropbox thanks to auto corrupt) are older than three years old, so I would want to reuse them in a new Synology rather than buy $1000 of replacement drives (Also I always have an extra 8 TB and extra 6 TB drive sitting around in case a drive in any of my NAS would fail). Remainder is just a bunch of time machine back ups that are already kept backed up offsite on multiple portable SSD or HDD.īut three of the four drives in my QNAP are five years old and one has bad sectors, and I also won’t buy another QNAP because of their poor internet security. The most important 10 TB is backed up and kept offsite across a 6 TB LaCie RAID0 and 4 TB western digital. I have most of it backed up to a QNAP ts453a with 4x 6tb WD Red that is full (and offline), and the rest to a Synology DS220j with 2x 6tb. I have used a Drobo 5n for 8 years with one replacement unit 5 years ago under warranty, and gone from a pair of 2tb drives at the beginning, to 5x 8tb WD Red now, with 8tb free space. Replaced the SMR drives with all CMR drives. Replaced the power supply with a higher capacity. ![]() I had issues with the 5N2 suddenly eating drives… two problems… weak power supply and SMR drives. ![]() One caution regarding conventional raid… IF you buy all your drives at the same time and they are from the same manufacturer’s lot, if one fails, you might have a cascade. The real advantage Drobo had was being able to run any mix of drives. Changes get written to all 3 every 4 hours. Really important stuff is backed up via arqbackup to Gen2, Wasabi, and One Drive. I have a Drobo Gen2, DroboFS, and a Drobo 5N2. It de-dupes, compresses, and encrypts before the data hits the cloud. I use a program called arqbackup to push stuff to the cloud. Multiple subscriptions can get you a ton of storage. 6 logins (unique email address and password) each with 1 TB One Drive storage. The cheapest cloud storage I have found is Microsoft 365 Home Premium. The kext has to be Apple silicon code because Rosetta doesn’t work on kext. On my Big Sur M1 machine, I had to boot in recovery and change a setting to allow it to use the kext. The Dashboard as currently written uses kext. They are the glue that ties your OS to non Apple hardware. These are the extensions to the OS kernel. The issue is a problem with the changes that Apple is incorporating into Mac OS in the name of security.Īpple will no longer the support kext. ![]()
