    my files waddled all over the place:

    2 external hd on a media server (,got from work)
    1 external hd on laptop (got half price from work)

    Saving up for a GOOD desktop with which I can collect more files.

    Wow, if that is the definition of all over the place, I must be a mess because I consider your description to be a utopian ideal of cleanliness and centralization.

      This.

      I was recently trying to find an old install of Civ IV. It could have been on one of many different devices. Two laptops, desktop, four externals, couple SD cards. Ended up being unable to find it when i was looking and later found it on the same desktop I was trying to move it to.

    Very near the same.

    3 machines (different OSs) kvm to single display keyboard
    -synced- to "cheap" NAS (router with USB big drive)
    -synced- to internal "cloud" - BIGGER USB on wife's machine
    -synced- to back blaze

    "cheap" NAS is also point of all other machines to drop backups and sync to as well.
    Internal "cloud" is also point to get my wifes machines backups as well.

    Backblaze picks up her whole machine and the internal "cloud" (local attached). Also run regular full drive backups to BIGGER USB, so multiple copies. Examples each photo taken with-in 24 hours is on at least 6 internal storage points. then each of those will have a part of the internal "cloud" so redunant, then stored in the ether. With a mjor failure / fire / etc, I have always at least 30 days toget at least one image back.

    using FreeFileSync as main local tool to sync desktops and NAS and cloud, since it supports two-way sync. Machine A changes, then sync w/ NAS. Machine B sync with NAS and object is local on B. then back.

    Really big backups or hard to do, use rsync to pull backups, vs computer pushing, via FFS are one way. Think personal tablets and such.

    Can you guess what I do for living??

    You (and I) need to join the SSD anti-revolution.

    I have about 2TB of media storage online, it's almost getting cheap enough that my next external drive will be a SSD.
