As others have said, you should really be careful treating your RAID as a backup. I for one do all of my backing up on Playstation 1 memory cards… I had to buy a couple storage containers to store them all, but I guess that technically counts as off-site
My Synology NAS was running for 6+ years before I replaced it last year. And the only reason I replaced it was to upgrade the hardware to be able to act more like a home server running some more demanding services.
I’ve since given the NAS away to a friend who is still running it… As always back up your data just in case, but I wouldn’t expect the hardware to crap out on you too soon
Impressive how the cat holds itself mid-air while the photographer frames the photo just right
Touch is just fine, and assuming you have multitouch there are good options for gesture controls
Not to scare you away, but I have experience getting Linux to run on a Surface Laptop 2 and… It’s not exactly the easiest process…
For my machine it required a custom kernel to get the touchpad and keyboard working and it just always had one quirk or another.
Highly recommend Linux, but those surface devices need some specialized drivers…
Poor guy starved to death
