Yeah, it’s been a long time since I’ve looked at and kind of RAID/Storage/data preservation stuff… like 256GB spinning platters were the “hot new thing” last time I did.

I’m starting from scratch…in more ways than one lol

Very cool, this is actually the sort of thing I was interested in. I’m looking at building a fairly heavy NAS box before long and I’d love to not have to deal with the expense of a full raid setup.

For stuff like shows/movies, how do they perform after recovery?

Yeah, that’s generally my consensus as well. Just curious if someone had a better way that maybe I didn’t know about.

I’ve never been a big fan of RAID for this reason… but I’ve also never had enough mission critical data that I couldn’t just store hard copy backups.

That being said… let me ask you this:

Is there a better way than RAID for data preservation/redundancy?

I’ve skimmed the notes, is this one one that rips and decodes the download files or finds copies based on Metadata?

If irritation is meditative… I’m the mother fucking Budah…

I just finished running Sleeping Dogs, and I’m trying to find something new (to me, not necessarily “new release”). If I don’t find anything that catches my eye, I’ll probably try Middle Earth: Shadow of War again.

Probably be time to sit down and run through Xenogears again…
