I got the pink ones <| sep |> so you dont want 188 now ? D <| sep |> I guess for me , I ' d start with a topdown approach . First , make sure you ' ve got an empty and ready to go file system . Get the hardware sorted , get whatever RAIDparitystuff in place . Figure on what you need to store room to grow any RAIDextra drivebackups . Get drive pooling sorted . Next , make some toplevel folders . Apps , Music , Pics , Video , etc . Just really general types so you can sort through your stuff as you move it . It ' s easy enough to apply some granularity after you get everything moved , but a couple of folders right off the bat will help . Is there something you ' re trying to do beyond that ? It seems like a fairly straightforward if time consuming process .
