Upsizing NAS Storage from 500GB to 1.5TB. On further analysis, I found out that most of the space was used up by my family's photo and video albums; It's not really surprising considering that my DSLR captures each frame at ten megapixels and my videos are captured in VGA quality at thirty frames a second and stored as mjpeg. Based on t...

Need to sell/swap/throw/RMA/give away your hard disk? Six months after my first NAS capacity upgrade. I finally managed to upgrade the capacity of the second hard drive in my NAS to 1.5TB as well.

The second option...
