I’ve been running a 12 bay nas for 8 years the only drives I have had fail have been Seagate drives.

I now use WD reds and lately due to their very good price point on eBay Toshiba drives.

Although the Toshiba drives do seem to be slightly noisier so depends where your server is located.

It is great with lots of libraries. I am writing a game in it right now.

What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I switched from Calibre to Ubooquity.

It seems to handle all files types, with an easy setup and nice interface.

There is a default comics section that you can use for your cbr and pdf files.

i run this backup daily because the from date for it is based on the date of the last 6 monthly backup to tape

UPDATE: The specific date thing is because every 6 months i backup my nas to LTO tape so this backup is anything that isn’t currently on tape just in case the NAS dies between backups.
