So my Lenovo think center is becoming quite full this day. I already have a two Harddrive docking station with 2 Tera disk getting pretty full and the other USB port is connected to a Tera SSD.
So what are my options, other than selling one of my arm to buy one of the new 250T ?
Either a NAS, or a direct storage box plugged into your server. QNAP and Terramaster make reputable ones. Then you can setup your own storage pool across whatever drives you have.
Time to go full NAS.
look used. datacenter drives get phased out long before their useful life. some even still have warranties.
i stacked 6x4TB in a thinkcenter before jumping to 4x22TB
I mean, you can stick a USB hub on a port and have multiple devices connected to it…
I find it gives me some ability to plan.
