    I have a great home PC and media backup/storage solution with Windows Home Server 2011 and 8+TB of RAID5 goodness, but that has just led to even more need for a large secondary, movable, but near-line backup. The Drobo S is perfect - especially now that my new WHS2011 box has USB3!

    My recorded TV collection is getting out of hand! I have 4 different shares on WHS 2011 for archived TV shows (thanks to no drive extender) a Drobo sounds like a great way to consolidate all of that into one volume.

    Have filled out & submitted the contest form. Followed & tweeted http://twitter.com/#!/88k8y/status/10818967818379... I've had too many hard drive failures recently and looking for a better solution. Drobo is just perfect for my data security and storage needs. I like the features of Drobo especially the ability to expand the storage whenever I need it without having to reload the data. Other features I like are the option to change storage strategies on the fly using the drobo dashboard utility and the seal healing feature that maintains data integrity. I would highly recommend everyone to get a Drobo for peace of mind! Thanks.

    I need it because WHS2011 is a major fail at this point. I would like to upgrade but there are too many bugs/issues. So I would like the Drobo to work in tandem with my WHS v1 and to eventually replace it all together. I believe Jim has converted me to a Drobo fanboy; well, Jim and the fact that MS released such a horrible product.

    I need it because I currently have an HP Mediasmart Server and with more and more Macs in my home, WHS just doesn't work that well with them. I want to use the Drobo to replace my MSS.

    I need it to give be a better onsite backup, currently I am backing up onsite to LTO4 and via a vpn to a SAN at work, this would let me back everything up once then dup to the SAN at work once a week.

    I am in need of a Drobo to provide the beyond raid large storage that I need for my WHS 2011. As all of us dads know we have lots of pictures of our kids and need to provide a safe and secure means of storing them and making them available to share in a large quantity. With our third child on the way I am sure to need the storage space to overcome the 2TB limit. I look forward to writing a review once I receive the Drobo :)

    The old PC that I used to use to backup my WHS v1 shares and BDBB backups finally gave up the ghost recently. I now have a space in my server room (well, “wardrobe” really) that would be just right for a Drobo! It would mean that I can start backing up my WHS again and therefore be able to sleep soundly at night.

    • Anyone interested in writing Reviews here on the forums?

      Dave posted a topic in Forum News,

      I throw this out every once in a while.  Is anyone interested in writing up "semi-formal" reviews here on the forums?  I say semi-formal because they don't have to be pro level, just a good attempt at telling the story about the gear.  Something you have purchased lately.  You don't have to go buy stuff, just incorporate what you have already have purchased.  Hit me up with any questions.  You never know where it will lead!

    • D-Link announces new additions to its smart home and IoT offering #CES2020

      Dave posted a topic in CES 2020 ,

      D-Link has dropped a couple of new products and additions to their lineup of smart home gear.  Hold on because there is a lot of gear!
      Let's start with cameras.  D-Link has new Wi-Fi cameras, the Full HD Pan and Tilt Pro Wi-Fi Camera (DCS-8302LH) and Full HD Indoor and Outdoor Pro Wi-Fi Camera (DCS-8526LH).  These are not just new, and good looking cams, they can now perform people detection and glass break detection.  The new cameras also feature expanded ways for customers to save video, including ONVIF Profile S, which enables custom storage and streaming options to personal NAS devices, built-in storage microSD capacity up to 256 GB, as well as free and paid cloud storage options. 
       

       
      This year's camera models include both an indoor and an outdoor model. The outdoor model features a spotlight and siren that can be triggered when motion is detected, deterring potential intruders. The indoor model pans around to give a full 360-degree view of any room and tracks motion. Both include two-way audio. 
      Full HD Pan and Tilt Pro Wi-Fi Camera is the model (DCS-8302LH), available in Q2, 2020, and retail pricing will be $99.99.
      Full HD Indoor and Outdoor Pro Wi-Fi Camera is the model (DCS-8526LH), available in Q3, 2020, and retail pricing will be $119.99.
      One of my favorite products is Wi-Fi.  D-Link has a whole lot of new products coming including Wi-Fi 6, Mesh, Alexa and Google Assistant integration, IFTTT, Parental Controls, and more!
       

       
      There are so many new SKU's that I can't make heads or tails of them!  I'm going to be speaking with D-Link more this week and will sort all of these out. I do want you to see all they are offering and what the release date and projected retail pricing will be.

      Dave posted a topic in Forum News,

      Get ya Merch here!  I've created a T-Shirt shop with the famous RESET paperclip. I've pasted that clip on just about everything so you can wear it around town!  Cable bags, Coffee Mugs, T-Shirts, and more. 
       
      https://reset.threadless.com/
       
      or you can get it it via
       
      https://reset.fm/store
       
      Here is the main design.
       

       
      Below is a part of the order that I put in!  
       
       

       
      The Heather Grey above is the Extra Soft version and it is awesome.  I highly recommend the softness!    The "Chili Red" is the Tri-Blend and probably my favorite feel and color.

       
      This is the Zip-Up Hoody, Heather Indigo, Sponge Fleece, Men's, Large.  In my podcast I couldn't remember what style it was but it is Sponge Fleece. It's REALLY soft on the inside. Soft outside as well. The only problem is with the zip up hoody the logo is on the back. Regular hoody, it will be on the front.

    • OneDrive Personal Vault and expandable storage

      OneDrive Personal Vault and expandable storage

      Dave posted a post in Home Server Storage,

      Microsoft's OneDrive has a few new features and options worth pointing out.  Personal Vault and Expandable Storage.
       
      Personal Vault is a protected area in OneDrive that can only be accessed with a strong authentication method or a second step of identity verification, such as your fingerprint, face, PIN, or a code sent to you via email or SMS. 
       
      Personal Vault gives you an added layer of protection for your most important files, photos, and videos—for example, copies of documents such as your passport, driver’s license, or insurance information—should someone gain access to your account or device.
      Plus, this added security won’t slow you down. You can quickly access your important documents, photos, and files with confidence wherever you are, on your PC, OneDrive.com, or your mobile device.

       
      Beyond a second layer of identity verification, Personal Vault also includes the following security measures:
       
      Scan and shoot—Using the OneDrive app, you can scan documents or shoot photos directly into your Personal Vault, keeping them off less secure areas of your device, like your camera roll.
      Automatic locking—No need to worry about whether you left your Personal Vault or your files open—both will close and lock automatically after a period of inactivity.
      BitLocker encryption—On Windows 10 PCs, OneDrive automatically syncs your Personal Vault files to a BitLocker-encrypted area of your local hard drive.
      Restricted sharing—To prevent accidental sharing, files in Personal Vault and shared items moved into Personal Vault cannot be shared.
       
      Taken together, these security measures help ensure that Personal Vault files are not stored unprotected on your PC, and your files have additional protection, even if your Windows 10 PC or mobile device is lost, stolen, or someone gains access to it or to your account.
       
      Expandable Storage
       
      If you are and Office 365 Subscriber you get 1 TB of OneDrive storage space with all the other Office goodies like Word, Excel, etc.  I know personally that I have gone over the 1TB limit and have always wanted to be able to add additional storage to my account.  Now you can!

       
      Pick and option and keep on hoarding, errr, I mean saving! Cancel anytime, upgrade at any moment.
