El Chupanibre Overhaul

Here is Drobo. He's in charge of storing all of our media (iPhoto library, iTunes library, pyTiVo folder, whatnot).



But see those blue lights that run almost all the way across the bottom? That means Drobo's running low on space. See that orange light on the bottom right of his face? He's hungry.



Yep, down to 8% free space. Normally 45 GB of free space would seem all right, but Drobo would like more, and he's acting noticeably sluggish.



Here you go, little guy. Out with one 320 GB drive, in with two 640 GB drives, courtesy of Newegg.







Ahh, 623 GB of free space. Drobo is fat and happy. I'm happy too.


I also noticed a few months back that El Chupanibre was only running 1 GB of RAM. For some reason I had been under the impression that he had more than that when I bought him. Crucial helped fix that. As of two days ago El Chupanibre is maxed out at 3 GB. He's much zippier now.

Here's a picture of El Chupanibre on the day that he was born.
