        Trying to figure out how to keep track of and distribute changes on a project to a group of people.

        Thinking maybe just a Word doc in SharePoint.

            Arguing with someone that thinks that charging $72/hr to drive customer desktops to his office (which I"m guessing is a house) and doing malware removal is not bench work .... and he can't understand why he can't get IT style insurance while doing that.

            Too much pride, too little thinking.

                Yeah. He wants to get insurance to cover getting his store robbed while keeping a company's desktops there that might or might not contain millions of dollars of secrets or data on them. What insurance company would ever insure them for that! They wouldn't even insure the original company for that, let alone a Geek Squad type service. And even if they did, $72/hr isn't going to cover that insurance.

                    Yeah, even for IT shops that aren't taking on that kind of liability and earning double or quadruple per hour, they can't afford that kind of insurance 95% of the time. He's taking on 100x the liability with no profits. Impossible.

                      Just wrote a little bash script for my dad to sort files, create directories based on filenames, move files into these directories etc on his DIY-NAS.

                        Just figured out that CentOS 7 is missing a driver for the cheap JBOD we have, wouldn't boot the install script for me, but 6.5 seems to be fine. Wonder if I can do the upgrade to 7 after the 6.5 installer is done.

                            Yep. I'm thinking it's actually the super cheap fake-raid card included with the thing. It's the only card I have that I know is compatible with the expanders used. The system that it was connected to decided to die. If you're interested in how it goes @thwr, I'll just start another thread.

                            Netinstall is downloading the initial system image right now, I'll tell you more once the install finishes (tomorrow 😕 )

                                        It actually has a BIOS you can use to configure a RAID array, I've got it configured to just pass the drives to the system. I think I'm sort of silly for even using it in the first place, but it made for a good backup target till the system died. Hopefully it wasn't the card. Even if the card went bad, it shouldn't be that much money to get another eSATA adapter.

                                          So I want a 4TB (usable space) NAS for medical documentation (Raid 10). Any recommendations for specific models?

                                            So I want a 4TB (usable space) NAS for medical documentation (Raid 10). Any recommendations for specific models?

                                            Any, since you can put 60TB SSDs in them 😉
