Disk space emergency

About six months ago, I got an Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ with 2TB of usable storage. At the time I had nearly filled my existing 1TB homebuilt NAS box, and was in desperate need of more space.

Here I am, six months later, having exhausted 96% of the 2TB of capacity of my ReadyNAS, and find myself contemplating paying the $1800 to get a second one. It’s a bad time of the year for significant technology investments, but I don’t know how long I can limp along without an upgrade.

How could I possibly use 2TB of space, you ask? Well, between videos, photos, music, software, backups from other machines, and personal files, it’s not that hard.

UPDATE: I ordered another NV+
