I had a 10 year old Macbook Pro that was really slow, I put in an SSD and it was transformed. Not expensive and plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it.

I wouldn’t recommend a WD My Cloud Home - it’s not a NAS as such, it’s a bit limited; I’d go for a Synology. or One Drive as you suggest - a 1TB plan is quite reasonable with regards to cost.

Thanks for the responses; it seems I can’t really do it. I looked into ZFS but if I use that it halves the available disk space to 2TB. I’m using the VM for a media server and thought it would be better to have 1 4TB space instead of 2 2TB disks. At the end of the day it isn’t a big deal, I just thought I’d be able to present both disks as 1.

I don’t have kids but am perfectly happy to pay more tax to make education free or cheaper. How can anyone argue that a less educated society is better? The more people that can experience higher education is plainly a good thing. There could be someone out there who could make a medical or technological breakthrough but doesn’t get the chance because they can’t afford to go to college.

I was under the impression that organised thieves had software that could reset stolen Iphones - otherwise why would they steal them? Is this exploit new?

I think Water Wars are also a concern.

Adding my 2c - I think it depends on if you want something that just works out of the box, or if you want to tinker and play with a DIY solution. I have a Synology DS220+ that just works, is easy to manage, has loads of apps etc. I also have a Raspberry Pi with Openmediavault installed and 3 SSDs attached which required a bit of setup, is more complex to get things working, also has apps (plugins) but is more of a project.

Can it do legs?

I’ve lost count of the docker containers / hosted stuff I’ve spun up, only to realise I don’t use it. It’s fun though. Bitwarden, Owncloud, NextCloud, Openmediavault, homepage, Jellyfin are just a few I can remember.

That’s a pretty good response from the subs.

I’m surprised at the price point - why not sell it at a loss (Apple can afford it) to drive uptake, which would increase app development, which would drive sales etc?
Then as mass production and supply chain issues become moot post pandemic, they start to make a profit, and sell more. If sales stall because of the current global cost of living crisis, it might not take off. I’m really excited for it, and can afford one but it’s hard to justify at that price. Make it 2k and see how many sell.
