Digital Home Thoughts: Synology Release 45TB Capable Monster

"Just how low will your jaw drop if you know that the Synology DS1511+ DiskStation is capable of storing up to 45TB of data? That is right, this five-bay NAS is capable of accepting up to two DX510 expansion units for a total of up to 15 drives, and if you decide to go all out with 3TB drives, that can yield up to 45TB of storage - a figure that should send you into orbit."

I get strange looks of bewilderment from my friends and colleagues when they find out I have 5TB of storage for my home server. Even I think that's a lot, but with approx 400 DVD and Bluray copies being 20-40GB each, the space soon mounts up. However to fill 45TB of space I would need to have an astonishingly big movie collection. That said, I remember thinking 1Gb was a huge amount and I would never fill it. How times change.
