Peppered And Salted

Two more NASes arrived at Pixy Labs today - Pepper v2 and Salt v2, a couple of LaCie 5Big v2 units like Sugar but minus the marbles-in-a-tumble-dryer Hitachi drives.  Minus any drives at all, in fact, which makes them a heck of a lot cheaper, $399 each vs. about $1700 for the 10TB Sugar back in 2010.

Once they're loaded up with disks (and I have 8 1TB disks lying around, and 12 2TB disks waiting to be built into PCs), they're replace Pepper and Salt v1, my old Acer Easystores.  These will be - depending on what disks I decide to put into them - 5, 10, or 15TB each, replacing the 4TB Salt and 2.5TB Pepper.

Once I've built Shana and Lina as well, I'll have, hmm, 40 to 48TB of available disk, all of it RAID-5.  That'll do, I think.
