Started on ceiling joists, had to take down light fixtures so put two light bulb sockets for now as those are not in the way. That ended up taking longer than I wanted then called it quits after for today. With joists up I'll finally be able to start insulating in here. That will be nice, at least I'll have a half decent warm place to work on stuff year round.

Got another 10TB WD Red Pro drive to back up another 10TB HGST Enterprise drive. I'm copying over the data now.

Found my 8TB enterprise drives. Almost 7 years old and never used. They were so expensive when I originally purchased them. Also, found a couple of molex to SATA (x2) power adapters.

I still need to decide what to do with all the 2TB drives I bought off ebay. Out of the 12, only 4 ended up being suitable for production. The others either failed the smart test, or have errors on them. They still work, so I'll put them in the backup pool but I don't trust them for live data. Original plan was to replace the 1TB drives with them in one of my raid arrays but I need at least 9 good working ones for that.

I might do a degraded raid 5 array with the 3 extra slots I have in my NAS. That will give me around 5.5TB, I can manually move data from one of the raid 10 arrays that also uses 2TB drives. Then break up that array and rebuild the new raid 5. Then I can grow the raid 5 with the rest of the drives. Think that's what I'm going to end up doing. Raid 10 was great but it's expensive, so I think I will convert them to raid 5 or 6 but it's tedious to do that as there is no way to do it live.
