I wonder if they can write that off as a charitable thing.

NES Classics are $40 on Woot.

Tis the season.

 

[Mikeawesome]

Nobody wants that

But then I'd have to go to University Mall.

I can't believe it is still open.

Dammit. I was debating about picking up another and retiring two drives in my case. Guess I will.

We don't have a Costco membership, but I'd like to shrink my backup array down from it's 8 2TB drives to save space and power.

Keeping an eye out for a membership deal.

you know you can still buy those there for 5% more if you don't have a membership, right? THEN, later in the year, if you want you can buy a membership and get that 5% credited toward the membership fee. It's great if you only want those drives in a year. You pay an extra $6.50/drive, but never need to get the full membership.

You can do the same at Sams for an extra 10%.

IIRC, that doesn't actually work.

Debating on converting to ReFS...

dont do it. I seriously explored this and found that it is not remotely ready. Stick with ready steady ntfs, or cross the fence and go XFS
