Truenas + Nextcloud Jail
Then port forward to the jailWorks like a charm
https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-install-nextcloud-on-truen…
Nextcloud with Truenas always has issues and had to use truechart version and still having issues
Can't say the same. Sorry
Then I would rather go with 1 or 2TB drives. Also the controller ICs of SSDs like this fail sometime, so make sure to have a backup.
Probably not suitable as the primary OS drive?
Probably not, googled reviews and it doesn't have a dram cache.
Thanks mate
I have used this as a primary boot drive and it's still pretty quick. No complaints here, and I'm what you'd consider a "power user". Dram cache is much more important when you're writing huge amounts of files on a regular basis
You are right. But good luck convincing Ozb dram fanbois.
Thanks for the heads up.
Definitely not, due to the brands high failure rate. If you look at posts on Reddit and negative reviews on Amazon, you will find lots of mentions of this. If you're buying a SSD, it's always best to buy from an established quality brand, rather than buying a cheap brand to save a few bucks.
This is from Reddit.
I'm very late to this thread but I wanted to say their SSDs are garbage. I work in IT so we have gone through lots of SSDs and have used various brands. Silicon Power has the highest failure rate of any brand we've used. I would stay away from that brand. They are incredibly cheap for a reason. However, their memory is fine. Never had issues with any brand of memory to be honest.
High failure rate when it fails at >5 year mark should be acceptable to many at this price.
A SSD should last much longer than five years. Also most likely many failures are happening much sooner than that.
@rogerm22: Now we are generalizing it for a <$50 SSD drive and what value you want to extract out of it.
Boot drives are easily replaceable restored from a backup.@ozdesi: My point is that cheap drives like this often fail sooner, rather than later. So many such drives will fail well before five years. So you shouldn't buy one of these drives expecting five years usage.
have bought these in different sizes.
it's actually quite gooddont bother with the cloning software, its absolute trash
Perfect for a retro gaming PC when downloading dodgy ISO files
Cheaper to buy 2TB though.
2TB = $118
4x512Tb = $128thanks
Less base materials so makes sense.
I can’t speak for the m.2 but my Sata ssd has been running really well. Not sure id use it for a boot drive but there’s plenty applications where it would be fine. So happy storage is cheap at the moment, it’s finally worth ditching the HDDs.
I saw the very same poor reviews in the SP SSD's a bit ago.
I installed them for clients into low-end laptops by the dozens and all has been fine. Haven't even had anyone contact to replace.
I think it has a whole lot to do with usage. If you do email & web search, all good apparently.
I started building computer's during covid and while i can't speak on the m.2 drive being spoken about, i can on the same size ssd. I purchased 14 of these drives, 4 have failed.
1 doa, another lasting windows install and next day drive didnt exist. 2 further failures within 3 -5 months. Everyone's experience's will vary, but i can't recommend them.
Anyone made their own cloud storage with this type of drive?
