Ha, yeah, I’ve been burned a few times by not having backups. Aside from backups, the majority is backups of my DVD / Blu-ray collection. When I was single in most of the 2000’s I was at best buy every Tuesday, buying the latest shows and movies to come out on disc 😂

Synology’s

• DS2419+ (105TB of usable space, 80tb in use, 12 drives, mix of 8tb to 14tb drives, 32gb ram)
• DS1821+ (90TB of usable space, 60tb in use, 2 10tb, 4 16tb drives, 32gb ram)
• DS620slim (4.5TB usable space, 2TB in use, 6 1TB SSD’s, 16gb ram)

They all have been running 24/7 since I purchased them. In the last 4 years I’ve only had five drives go bad bad, but I’ve done quite a few replacements for upgrades. I had filled the 12 bay with a mix of 2TB and 4TB drives when I first got it in 2019. I have a container of 18 HDD’s of various sizes that I wish I had a use for.
