Yev here -> Thanks, so do we! Honestly we always thought that once we published what we see in our environment that others would follow suite, but that hasn't quite happened yet!

- hwillis 9y agoJust throwing in to also express my appreciation. You guys are second only to okcupid in terms of awesome data and visualizations, and I think yours is way more useful. I suppose that depends a lot on one's current life priorities though!
- atYevP 9y agoI...uh...love those folks. <3
- b3lvedere 9y agoAgain thanks for these stats. I love them and often refer to them when people ask for reliable harddisks, even for consumers. I'm not a really big expert on your file system. How easy is it for you to replace a faulty drive? Just pop it out and put in a brand new one, even if it's other capacity and/or brand and/or model? Is firmware upgrade of harddisks supported? Sometimes i wonder if it's possible to make a sort of small consumer (nas4free?) edition of the storage pod. Must be awesome to use almost any drive and still have a reliable big nas at home.
- Klathmon 9y agoIt's windows only, but storage spaces is a pretty good match for what you describe. There are still some rough edges, but it's overall a pretty nice setup for me. I setup the virtual drive to require at least 2 copies of the data on the underlying disks (but there are options for 3 copies and more I believe), and then you can add and remove disks to the array kind of whenever you want. They can be different speeds, sizes, whatever.
- atYevP 9y agoYup yup! ^
- rando444 9y agoAre you planning on purchasing more Toshiba drives?
- atYevP 9y agoOnly if they reach a price-point that we like! Right now we've been buying up a lot of Seagate drives because they work well and are at a pricing sweet-spot!
