One of the four drives in my Synology server is "failing," according to the server's diagnostics. The server has been running continuously for what, 10 years? Fortunately, I was able to find a new "exact replacement" drive on Amazon, even though Seagate has discontinued that particular model. I sort of recall I paid $100+ for each of the four 2TB drives...but the closeout price on the replacement was $44. I vaguely remember that installation of drives into the server box was pretty simple. Hope that's not a false memory. If it is, I'll call Fretwell and see if he can stop by with his chainsaw.


Why don't you just shoot it or ask your pal Hillary how to dispose
of it in the landfill?


It was nice of you holding back on correcting him that what he really has is a NAS device, not a "server". Network Attached Storage.

~snerk~, as his buddy used to say.


I thought he was running Windows Media Center but that might be old
info. It is probably something like that anyway. I wouldn't screw with
a NAS if I had a PC that was on all the time anyway.
