1TB lost
Due to unsuccessful hacking it was necessary to disassemble my Buffalo Terastation NAS and try and fix the damage by mounting the drives on a Linux box. Somehow in doing this I managed to destroy two of the 400GB disks. This means that about 1TB of movies, music and data has been lost :(. Hopefully I can get some of it back from various backups but it will take a while.
So now I have a technological dilemma. Buy another two 400GB replacement disks (which have incidentally been discontinued) for a premium price, or start again with something else… I keep having an idea about building a new home-server Linux/RAID 5 box. Hmmm, is it possible to get 4×750GB SATA II disks into a small form factor case?
Time for an early night.
