Hi All,
Might be interesting to someone out there ;)
I still have this little box, use it as a file server and still using
oi_151a9.
I have progressively been replacing the HDD with bigger and bigger
drives and all still works well. I keep think of replacing the hardware
but never yet really got around to it. I think since the original 2Tb
HHDs I have increase it to 6Tb, 10Tb, then 14Tb in stages.
I just replace my 3 disk raid5 pool, which used to have 3x14Tb with some
new 3x20Tb Tosh disks.
Last time it took 10hr each to re-silver the replaced disks from 10Tb to
14Tb, this time it took 33hr for each disk (ie 100hr to do all three
over 5 days).
I have tried to update the OS before and always it fails at some point,
so in the end just stayed with what worked.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what to do for an upgrade?
I have a HP Proliant Microserver N54L with 4x 2Tb drives which I have
been happy with for more than a year but I have started to run out of
disk space in my zfs pool. I have been pruning the snapshots and
rubbish but filling it up now is inevitable.
What I would really like to do is to swap the disks out for larger one
but I doubt that this is really practical as to make this work you
need spare disk slots which I don't have.
Another option might be to add a SATA card and add more disk that way.
But I have no idea of where to start with this, and even if this
microserver can do that.
And a third is just to get a new server. I can't see any which have
more than 4 drive bays do these exist (for reasonable money) or do you
need to make your own? If so anyone got a recommendation?
