Expanding capacity of Synology DS1010+
I’m a huge consumer of data; typically my data storage hovers around the 2.5TB range with most of that being my archive of photos. So as the Synology DS1010+ is to be my main file server I needed to feed it with drives. Yesterday after noon (approximately 20 hours ago) I added a 2tb drive to compliment the other 4 2tb drives already in there. It’s taking much longer than I anticipated but at least it’s doing it’s job. I’ve been having issues with the DS1010+ and Apple Macs which I’m hoping to solve. I have been in touch with Synology tech support but they have been very slow to respond and not up to the standard I would expect. Time will tell, I will keep you updated.

Why DropBox is every photographer’s friend.
about 8 months ago - No comments
I do intend to write a blog about all the software tools I use to make my job a little easier, but for now I want to talk about a little utility I use daily called Dropbox. Dropbox is probably the best file synchronisation and ‘cloud’ manager there is. I can work on any file…
Why is it professionals still don’t backup/archive regularly?

It is shocking how many people still do not have a computer backup system in place. Fair enough, when it comes to complaincency I’m terrible at business administration (my filing is way behind), but in my mind backing up critical files is something that cannot be delayed. If you are a Windows user, Microsoft has…

FreeNas vs Windows 7 RAID5

I have created another dilemma for myself in my search for the best backup solution although secretly I love this stuff, any excuse to do something rally geeky. With my recent purchase of the Synology DS1010+ I’m able to make it work in an apple environment (more on that later) so I’m selling my Drobo…
Synology DS1010+ a few days on.

I received the Synology DS1010 less than a week ago. I’ve not really had time to put it through it’s paces, but I thought I would write about my impressions so far. The unit itself is heavy for it’s size, sleek and does look the business in an understated fashion. I initially loaded it up…
Synology Ds1010+ NAS

First there was FreeNas, then there was Drobo V2, now I’ve expanded to the Synology DS1010+. I’ve been doing alot of research lately; I’ve been needing a proper NAS device for sometime, as good as the Drobo is, it’s not a NAS, the FW800 connection is painfully slow and it does not have a fraction…
A photographer’s backup solution…you’ll be surprised!

After many days of research, investigation, trial and error I have one conclusion when it comes to 700gb+ archive solution. But before I get to that these are my pros and cons for each candidate. I spent most of my time with Freenas, it’s free and the OS is robust, but I struggled with it.…

On my last count, I have over 60,000 photos in my archives, that is roughly 650 gigabytes of images which I need to access, store, archive and backup. I need something that fitted my requirements: Easy accessibility. I don’t want to anything that could slow down my work flow. It also has to tie into…
