Ah right, got it! We used to use tape drives a long while ago and I agree it's a good cheap alternative if you don't need easy data access from archive, but you have large amounts of data. I see the MagStor drive is well reviewed, but the drive cost is a little steep at 6k!

Agreed, Synology had been good for us (4 servers with full extension boxes for 15 years), and while the nag to use their own HDDs is annoying, we just ignore it and use the cheapest enterprise level disks. Supports multiple fs schemes, and software updates regularly.

Arenty stickers a mite juvenile for students? Why not reward them with something that they'll actually care about like a beer or a margarita?
