1703 - ..
1704 - Summary/Objective
1705 -
170501 - Follow up ref SDS 6 0000, ref SDS 1 0000.
170502 -
170503 - Bought an internal 4TB disk drive to store movies. ref SDS 0 OS6N
170504 - Actually, have not decided yet whether to leave existing 2TB disk
170505 - installed for monthly backups, and add the 4TB drive just to store
170506 - moves. ref SDS 0 A67L

1708 - Progress
1709 -
170901 - On 140313 1405 received from Amazon Fantom 4TB external disk drive and
170902 - 6' esata cable and connected to c21. ref SDS 7 3T40 The new Fantom
170903 - 4TB HHD was purchased on 140308 1438, ref SDS 6 PP6N, and configured
170904 - with c21 to increase backup storage for downloading movies from Tivo.
170906 - ..
170907 - C21 has 2 TB conventional HDD 5400 RPM on partition J, originally
170908 - ordered as 1 TB HHD on 130313 1130. ref SDS 2 IM4L This was changed
170909 - to 2 TB on 130315 1154. ref SDS 3 CX9N Partition J on C21 was
170910 - formatted to 512 byte sectors for efficient backup of SDS files,
170911 - reported on 130509 0821. ref SDS 5 PF4N
170913 - ..
170914 - Recently, dedicated partition J on c21 to store movies transferred
170915 - from Tivo. As a result, partition J 2 TB capacity now has only 88 GB
170916 - free.
170918 - ..
170919 - We have a 500 GB external HHD, which was used for monthly backups for
170920 - several years, but is now nearly full.
170922 - ..
170923 - On 120205 purchased a 1 TB external drive 5400 RPM. ref SDS 1 6B38 It
170924 - replaced the 500GB HHD for monthly backups which generally are about
170925 - 7GB.
170927 - ..
170928 - Today, bought a 4TB internal HHD to replace 2TB internal HHD for
170929 - partition J in c21. May move 2TB HHD to c18, if possible. The
170930 - existing 2 TB drive shown on Ascendtech invoice seems to be 5400 RPM,
170931 - reported, 130321 0918, ref SDS 4 IM4L, which is much slower than 7200
170932 - RPM drive purchased today. Alternatively, could leave existing 2TB
170933 - disk installed for monthly backups, and add the 4TB internal HHD just
170934 - to store moves. The Fantom external 4TB HHD would be simply to backup
170935 - movies.
170937 - ..
170938 - Speed of the new HHD makes a difference saving time performing
170939 - maintenance tasks like formatting, compressing and transferring files
170940 - between disks and systems, including the new external 4TB drive
170941 - purchased on 140308 1438. ref SDS 6 PP6N

172608 - Definition
172609 -
172610 - Network-Attached Storage
172611 -
172612 - Network-attached storage (NAS) is a dedicated hard disk storage
172613 - device that is set up with its own network address and provides
172614 - file-based data storage services to other devices on the
172615 - network.
172617 - ..
172618 - A network-attached storage device is attached to a local area
172619 - network and assigned an IP address, allowing both application
172620 - programming and files to be served faster because they are not
172621 - competing for processor resources. NAS devices are usually
172622 - configured with a web browser and do not have a keyboard or
172623 - display.
172625 - ..
172626 - Network-attached storage consists of hard disk storage,
172627 - including multi-disk RAID systems. NAS software can usually
172628 - handle a number of network protocols, including Microsoft's
172629 - Internetwork Packet Exchange and NetBEUI, Novell's Netware
172630 - Internetwork Packet Exchange, and Sun Microsystems' Network
172631 - File System. Although some NAS boxes will run a standard
172632 - operating system like Windows, many NAS devices run their own
172633 - proprietary operating system. For example, the NAS platforms
172634 - from NetApp use the company's proprietary Data ONTAP operating
172635 - system. Management utilities are able to manage heterogeneous
172636 - multiple NAS boxes as more storage is added to the
172637 - infrastructure, easing the management burden on storage
172638 - administrators.
172640 - ..
172641 - Network-attached storage can be a step toward and included as
172642 - part of a more sophisticated storage system known as a storage
172643 - area network (SAN).
