Based on something Avid brought out 25 years ago for video editing, using ESata buss of 3x “+” systems, and SSD’s… Nearly 3 years ago: Created my own archive system for data similar to 7.3’s Tier creation. Not automated, but in my case doesn’t need to be.
On each of 3x NAS’s created a single SSD drive on ESata Expansion buss. (Powered off NAS USB)
On each system, determined what needed to be Archived for long term storage and saved on each of 3x systems. Triple redundancy.
This freed up space on 3x NAS SHR drive systems..
After reading up on 7.3’s feature doing about the same thing though far more automated than mine, revisited each of 3x systems today. Retiring some data, archiving others. Freed up space by archiving. Nearly 3 years after implementing this, it still is operating flawlessly, though manually.
I still refer to it as ‘Near Term’ (SHR) and ‘Far Term’ (3x archive copies on 3x NAS systems)
I seem to remember cost was 3x SSD’s + 3x ~$25 6GB ESata enclosures.
So far….. Money well spent!
