I was going to buy two 8tb drives to replace my 16 1tb backup drives. But I have four 4tb's in my server with a few hundred days on them each. Should I just replace the server drives with 8tb's and use the old 4's for the backup replacement?

    NetXMS - Open Source network and infrastructure monitoring and management

  • I think we might need to look into it too at some point. I was using thing called netxms (https://www.netxms.org/) in my system but that was rather reactive approach. It was looking into the logs for me, tracking for SCSI senses, latencies, RAID degraded, etc. If you see the last in the log, you are already pretty much close to getting screwed. Still, it's a good open-source solution I inherited from the previous admin. Helped us a lot.
