So far I've just had a bunch of random disks in my desktop pc and migrated them/the data around with me. No raid, no redundancy/backups except for important projects. That had to change. When a PC at work died it was the perfect host for my new project: Oscar.

I'm quite happy with everything except for the Cruical SSD (runs quite hot) and the noisy 80mm fan on the 5x3 drive cage.
