![]() If you're evaluating Plex it's worth poking around with Emby & Jellyfin too. How much has being offline for a eek cost you? You'll never know, because it will just have scared some customers off.Īs for Ballicom, it's always good to know, especially from old-timer Hexen, who they trust, and sometimes, who they don't. Guys, you need some disaster-planning and recovery options in lace, even if it costs you. That said, my usage was a non-critical back-end engineering documentation database for a small client company, not an internet-facing retail outlet. Were it not for the fact that, well, "been there, done that, got t-shirt", I might be a lot less sympathetic. By down, I mean the shell is there but the database (MySQL probably) connection backend appears to have imploded. As for their "marginally" delayed, though, it took me probably 30 to 40 calls to get an answer on the phone, and the site has now been down about a week. i don't use Facebook, so that update confirms what I was told when I finally had someone answer the phone. Will take a look at Laptops Direct, for that. It's trying to think through all the options that I wanted that site for. ![]() So adding a 12TB to 3x 4TB in a 4 bay isn't going to end well. One thing about SHR does seem to be that a BIG increase in drive size is inefficient because the space reserved for parity is always that of the largest drive. But getting the lowest 'per TB' cost means big drives, and a pretty big bill in total.Īnd I was finding Span pretty good at getting all the data for the spreadsheet quickly and easily.Īt the moment, I'm inclined towards 1621+ and smaller drives (6-8TB) rather than 920+ and bigger drives (10-12TB) because then, I can get 4 drives initially,keep total cost down a bit, but still add 2 extra drives (thus 12-16TB extra) before running out of expandability without either replacing drives with bigger ones (trying to avoid doing that) but it adds about £300 to the cost of the NAS. Put it this way, the overall cost (including the NAS) goes from about £45/TB to something like £110/TB, depending on configuration. and giving me a headache trying to design it. I have a spreadsheet with a range of options, including the 4-bay and 6-bay units, together with drives from 4TB up to 16TB, looking at cost per TB at each size, taking account of the RAID5 redundancy loss (1 drive worth), and trying to decide whether to splurge on big drives and 4-bay now, or smaller drives but a 6-bay, giving more expansion options and the workings of SHR are beggaring up my spreadsheet. But I'm working out the cost implications of the 920+ v 1621+, and various drive capacities. Probably, in no small part because SHR appeals to me. Still playing with configurations, and working outdata requirements, as I'm considering sticking a Plex srver on it too. By the way, what have you decided to go for in the end?Not quite there yet.
