Understand about the laptop. Since I dumped the desktop several years ago, my laptop has been a constant companion. In fact, this last trip is the first time I've travelled without one... Pad only. One bag instead of two? Hook me up

Speaking of storage, my dream device was recently released; the drobo 5N.

affordable, hot swappable RAID network-attached storage for the home, with optional SSD acceleration

WANT

no, NEED

Frickin fracking gosh darn it. My home PC/server was smitten by the gods despite being attached to a UPS. Apparently in it's last dying gasp it blasted garbage data across to the RAID-5 Array. Now windows thinks it's 10TB of raw volume.

*sigh*

Yiiii sorry to hear that

I need to do some more research on backup-to-web plans.

There are ways to rebuild RAID tables. I managed to pull it off when something similar happened to me.

A similar wiping-of-the-RAID-tables finally pushed me to a Carbonite subscription. Feel soooo much better knowing that's there.

I realize I'm way late finding out about drobo. I've been hearing the word and thinking it was some weird shortening of "dropbox", as in "I have a Hazel script that sends that straight to my drobo". D'uh

Moonliner, good to hear of your positive opinion so far

I was all prepared to buy their previous RAID NAS but they discontinued it the day before I ordered, saying a new one was on the way. It appears they've added SSD acceleration AND dropped the price $200.

Note: I said "similar". While I have heard positive things about Drobo that's not what I have. I have a 5-Disk Raid tower configured in RAID-5 attached to my Windows Server via e-Sata.
