Migrating data from WHS to unRaid – taking forever!

Adam — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:01:45 +0000

So i started removing hard drives from my WHS 1 Terrabyte at a time. It is taking forever. WHS first has to move all the data onto the remaining drives before allowing me to remove it. Then I add the drive to the unRaid Server. I will then copy the data (Blu-Rays, Movies, and TV) from the WHS to the unRaid server, which will also take forever. I should have 4 TB of storage ready in the next 2 hours or so. Then I will start a file copy overnight of about 3 TB of data. Hopefully when I wake up everything will have gone smoothly.

New projects. WARNING – NERD ALERT.

My 3 new projects that i have decided to take on are the following:

1. Changing the surveillance camera system to utilize better cameras that are night sensitive.

2. Building my own firewall device including a DHCP server. I will be using an ALIX 2D2 board and pfSense software for the firewall.

3. Migrating some data from my 13TB WHS to an UNRAID solution using a new Atom dual core processor. This will allow better usage of the hard drive space and the atom board will cut power usage by ALOT!

I will post more about each project as they progress.
