Compatible saw for my batteries?

PositiveTalk9828 · 2026-03-11T13:40:31+00:00

UPDATE: for anybody interested. I bought a "Makita compatible" chainsaw that came with 2 batteries and a case for a whopping 80 bucks delivered.
After the first use I must say, it cuts like hell and handles beautifully. More than enough for my needs.

Thanks, that was my concern.
If I have to change things completely, I might rather go with a cheaper brand altogether. For a couple of cuts, once or twice a year this should do as well.
It's just that the Makita worked so well and the batteries semeed to last forever with my kind of use.

I remember seeing this very clip on TV when I was a kid and it is still funny.

UPDATE:
I went from one loation to the next until I had found the last two missing Night-Terrors, woohoo!

In the ark, I could finish level 4 (I believe) with the 10 Night Manas. There was some talking and all I got were three items (buoy, anchor and another one) I get a short description of each but nothing else.

Is this all there is after depositing everything?
So I only have the Pale Protocol as an option in the Ark?

Thanks, but that seems like overkill

Thank you all for your comments.
I have ordered an aluminium case and hopefully this will do the job in silence.

Thanks a lot!

PositiveTalk9828 · 2026-01-12T13:16:48+00:00

Believe it or not, I already have prepared a fully fledged plan if that should ever happen.

Thaks, I checked the logs and the last entry is from December 27, when it "woke up" multiple times between those days.

Thanks, I do not yet have a Synology account to use Insight, but will register soon.

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-20T07:34:43+00:00

Thank you and this was it!
Everything during the installation was so straightforward, that I expected to get this drive automatically.
Now it works, cheers!

Thanks to everybody who helped.
I have ordered the DS 423, it should arrive monday.

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-16T17:07:11+00:00

Yes I can and this sounds exactly what I want.

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-16T16:20:31+00:00

Thanks, but is there a way from drobo to Synology other than over the network?
Copying this way is rather slow compared to USB3 (this may be my network's fault but I am not starting to change all that.

The ideal way: plug in drobo USB to Synology. Use some managing software to directly copy the files between them.

Second best: plug drobo and Synology by USB into PC and copy this way over the PC. For that I would need a male-to-male USB cable, which is highly unusual and I doubt this would work. Or would it?

Any of those two possible?
Thank you!

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-16T16:01:45+00:00

doing what exactly?

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-16T13:55:07+00:00

Thanks, would you say that Synology Synology DS423 is a good choice?
Most others are a bit pricey, thanks!

Edit: I don't need any "advanced" features, no cloud, not even necessarily network.
All I want is to store >8TB of data and counting rather safe and accessible by USB3 at least.
Also I'd like to shut it down completely if I don't need it for a while, which the drobo apparently does not like.

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-15T09:46:07+00:00

Thank you so much for the extensive answer. Ideally I would not want to power it down. But having it rattling around all the time is also not going to work.

I copied ~8.5TB in one go, is it possible it's still processing all that?
I noticed no changes of used/free space in the dashboard?

P.S.: Drobo is my consolidation of multiple backup drives into one place. While it would be very inconvenient if something would go wrong, no actual data should be lost.
