[Leica] [Leica} Tina's Drobos... Update

[Frank Filippone]

The first 9TB or so is copied.

Only another 30TB to go.... all on the other Drobo....

1 to 2 weeks if we are lucky... 24/7

Installation went with a modicum of issues, mostly because I am not really an IT guy.... but the Tech Support at Synology was top notch and helped me 
through it.... This box, an 8 bay model, is no harder to install than a 32bay but it as a long time ago, it was not remotely done, and it was not my 
computer i was working on.... SO it took a while to get it right.

Having said that, there is a wire running down the middle of Tina's office... which I am terribly worried about the risk of tripping.... so that will 
be the next big effort... get rid of the wire.....I will use an Access Point router and re-connect her computer to the internet to be LAN rather than 
WIFI.   I got time....

One note to other brave folk who try this on their own.... You can copy from at least two of the USB ports at the same time.

It works and I got the impression it did not slow down the Drobo copy when I connected up a Desktop Seagate USB HDD.

This trick effectively doubled the copy speed.... 2 copy sources at the same time.
