And right after typing the above and reading a ML post about upgrading a domain , the prudent solution smacks me in the face after saying "duh." Spend $180, turn the RAID 5 into a RAID 10, then look for a real solution for storage.
$0.02
Been pretty happy with our synology units - there's a lot of options depending on your needs.
Yeah. We have two. The one in the local office will now be used for backups, rather than for storage for VHDs that our local VMs use. The one at the data center will be sold to recover a little of the cost from when it was bought before I was hired, as that data was moved to local storage with enterprise-class hard drives. The local office Synology will still be using WD-Reds, but I'm not as concerned since the role of that device is changing.

Not sure I'd host a VM on them but I have to say for file storage and all our backup requirements + the cloud software - they are good value and work pretty darn well

@MattSpeller VHDs for the VMs were on the Raid 5. What was on the Synology was originally a pass-through disk (iSCSI) acting as a storage drive for one of the VMs. Forgive me if I was unclear.

Doing some much needed reading about storage.

We have a lot of it around here. Have you watched my MangoCon video?

@scottalanmiller I have. Methinks I'll give it another watch.

The irrational stuff that gets posted on these threads makes my head hurt. He knows what makes sense but instead of just saying he doesn't want to do the obvious, he just makes up anything to try to rationalize his randomness.

It's really how they teach it too. We worship the system and glorify it as being more important than the results that it produces. It's like a class where we care that they did the work but don't care if they answer is any good.

Are we talking about in education or as citizens in general?

It's what Americans are taught.

My first though is to change your last sentence to it's HOW Americans are taught as well... "Don't worry about getting the right answer, just tell us how your came up with yours..."
The problem we have is "many of them [people] are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it..."
Whether they think the system is good or bad is irrelevant.

Much to my surprise, a conversation is actually happening, though not with the actual vendor.

Pretty inane conversation in that thread, though.

Okay, so as citizens. You are correct. Many Americans believe in living for themselves, individualistic, instead of as a community, such as other cultures, such as Oriental cultures. If we are not caring for each other and only caring for ourselves, then we have no community. We are just people living in the same town.
Here, you are talking more about consequentialism instead of deontology. "Ends justify the means". Robbing a bank is okay as long as I tithe my 10%. This is an exaggeration, but you get the point.
Deontology teaches us that we need to live within our moral constraints, whether it be the Bible, or some other believe system. In other words, we can't donate money that has been stolen because stealing is bad. Thou shall not steal (Exodus 20:15).
My personal belief is that the household has started to decay. As generations come and go, morals have become less and less prevalent. How many households still have their biological father in them? How many kids still live one, if not both, of their biological parents? How many children are being raised by a family member that is not their biological parent?
I'm not meaning to start a religious/political conversation here.

Basically Sage doesn't see their own product as production ready. It's a hobby class product. I would post a link to this in there...

You're sounding like Morpheus from The Matrix.
