Fair enough. I'm less worried about timings in a server. For example, my ECC memory:…

My issue here - I added the 3600mhz kit to cart and with tax it's $74. Combined with an expected shipping date of late June. At that point,…

ALP have done more for the internet with their support of FTTP. I've been on FTTP since 2016. But them trying to pass that social media…

Yeah, I found that out the hard way with a Samsung 850 Pro, which did not like being a cache drive in UnRaid. Made sure I properly paid up…

Both this and the SN5000 will die quick deaths if used as a cache drive or with Proxmox ZFS write amplification city. Pay up and get a…

I voted for Howard in 2007 - simply because Kevin Rudd and his chrony Stephen Conroy planned to adopt a rubbish internet filter to 'protect…

What does this have to do with Albo? You going to tell me that the other side would have less homeless?

Hahahaha, that's me. I'm a girthy-boi. Although looks like the middle of it is raised, so unless you like the seat being up your butt, it's…

Good to see the TBW is up there - I mean, it's not really efficient, but at 4TB it's still over 2PB. However, I need deals on actual…

Check out the Silverstone TP05 Heatsink for M.2. Works well. Not too expensive.

Yeah, reason why I bought brand new Exos drives from local stores - 5 years warranty. Good peace of mind.

I'm keeping my 5800X3D for gaming, but I have another AM4 build for productivity - just swapped out a 5600 for 5900XT. DDR4 ECC ram is…

This. Also, why the heck are people keeping Windows on these? These are to be used for headless servers.

So confused. Went to the Samsung product page and they harp on about the ability for these things to survive drops, temperatures, water,…

Those big drives are great if you've got limited storage slots in your NAS. I have 14 HDD bays in my rackmount case, and if I throw a lone…

Great drive. Run my 12TB one 24/7 in a Silverstone FS305B-12G enclosure. Runs a little hotter than my helium filled Exos, but within safe…

20k hours is nothing for Exos drives, they'll give you another 50k hours over that, easily. My actual brand new 10TB Exos drives cost me…

This. These drives should be in an array with parity drive/s. My 2x10TB Exos cost me $700+ brand new - so the fact you guys can get these…

And I bet it'll run you another 30,000 hours

15-17,000 hours is nothing for these drives. Got some with 50,000 going strong.

Nothing wrong with Seagate Exos. Only bad experiences with Seagate for me was back in 2009-2010 with the 7200.11 desktop drives. I run…

Cool story. Seagate Exos have been fine for me. Have multipled shucked Barracuda Pros with 5 years on them without any issue. Generally if…

eh, I've done it before. And just ordered a used X570 off there to replace a B550M in a secondary UnRaid build. Risk is worth it. Although,…

Ordered one (well when it was $150 from another seller). I built an UnRaid AM4 build with a 5600+B550 Pro4 motherboard and 64GB of ECC ram.…

HDD are very much alive for NAS/Server storage. Wouldn't use it as OS/Game storage, though.

I'm assume you were downvoted for thinking someone would regret buying one of these things. Once you buy one - you typically want to buy…

I use mine as a Plex Server - since I usually run AMD CPUs in my servers. Intel QuickSync helps.

On the contrary - as long as you don't have an MSI AM4 motherboard, you can slot in ECC ram with your 5800X. It's what I love about the AM4…

Try reading the reviews before worrying about 2.5 stars. Only two people have rated - 1 did 1 star with no review - 1 did 4 stars with the…

Exactly. My BQ12 had Windows removed shortly after I unboxed it and I installed Debian-headless on it. I Tailscale into it and use Ansible…
