Article: Reevaluating My Music Storage - Update

[jrobbins50]

I have 43Tb to backup, 40Tb of which are music files. The cloud is just not feasible with that quantity of data and the Comcast data cap. I’m using USB3.0 to transfer from my NAS through another PC to 16Tb drives, which I will store offsite. Got through the music files in 9 days.  I did it in 1.5-2.5Tb chunks and lost about 100Mb of data each time, allegedly to a file name that was too long and thus skipped over by Windows. It seems they were artwork files in virtually each case, so not a big issue — but keeping data integrity over such a large amount of data is truly difficult. JCR
