R7500v2 Readyshare bit rot data corruption
Running the last firmware version 1.0.3.48 on 7500v2. A couple years ago, I hung a 10Tb hard drive via a usb 3.0 adapter to the Readyshare port, configured it, and got it running. Next I installed Ve...
Readyshare is a good concept. But its not a replacement for a nas. It might be fine for the occassional use but as a primary on 5x devices?
If you're needing 5x devices backed up regularly, I'd highly advise a NAS device that also has its own backup or raid array for replacement.
I've got my computers backing up to a 4 disc NAS device (in raid for recovery if one disc dies) plus a 8tb external that I backup the NAS data monthly and keep somewhere I can grab in case of fire/damage to the NAS.
I also have over 32tb of media I don't backup but is in another 4x raid array for replacement. They important data is double backed up while the media is just on mirrored raid array as it doesn't need fast access.
I've also had a nas corrupt and not be aware of it until I needed the backup, thats why I started the backup of the backup. It sucks when it happens and you learn the value of setting up proper backup setups and even backing up the backup. I was able to recover some of the data but the wife was still pissed that "6 months of our children's photos are missing!" Whoops.
