The problem with SFP+ is that you shift the cost to buying SFP+ modules for each port. On top of that, you run SFP+ compatibility risks.…

I've used Google TakeOut to get all the data downloaded and then imported it into Immich just by mapping the directory into the docker…

Seems like they are clearing out the old line now that they have better models. If you fancy it, might as well jump on it. AMD Strix Halo…

You might want to ask people who buy Seagate drives. I'm sure there's a much higher probability they had to deal with failed drives a lot…

Superloop have not done anything with the billing. September invoice said 1000/50, October invoice says 1000/100. Other than that, and the…

Yeah. I've heard horror stories of Google suddenly cutting people off from their accounts with no explanation, no recourse and decades of…

##Immich The answer to hosting your own photos. Whatever hardware you decide on, you'll want it to run Immich. If you want to save a few…

You still get 5 year warranty, but you can't go to the Australian distributor for service. Since the distributor never got their cut for…

I've built my NAS/homelab around this [Miniroute…

I bought about 8 or so drives from Amazon over the years. Roughly half of those were direct purchases from Amazon US and the other half…

Strange that they call it Pro, but it doesn't actually use a Ryzen PRO, so no ECC.

BTW: ShopBack has a 0% cashback rate on the Computer category, so might have to stock up on gift cards at 1.5%.

17k braw video files are large.

According to CamelCamelCamel, this is an all time low. A comparison of top five $/TB HDDs thanks to AI powered Google search: #Price per TB…

Two Hazies that will be at least half a year old and very likely were not refrigerated at all times? That's not going to drink well. Pass.

I heard back from SilverStone and the TS434U uses a soft power button and will remain off after power loss. Shame as that puts it out of…

Still not SAS. Just a dense connector that gives you four SATA ports. I've got a CWWK / Miniroute NAS motherboard with two of those…

Yep. Same case here. Error U4. It cost me less to replace the Daikin system with a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. See above. The MHI system…

Hardware RAID is a bad idea and has been for the last decade. JBOD and modern file systems all the way. I'm partial to BTRFS, it works…

That's not SAS. Just because the connectors look like **some** SAS interconnects does not mean it supports the SAS protocol or signalling.…

# Linux

Recently replaced a 5 year old split Daikin where the electronics failed miserably and a fix would cost as much as a new system. Installed…

Yes, you would find it gets hotter.

It wasn't when I posted. They are sold out of 4TB now and that link redirects to a 1TB and 512GB product page.

I found a lsusb output somewhere on the [interwebs](https://social.makerforums.info/@mcdanlj/110785947178876933). TerraMaster D6-320 DAS…

4TB for $288.99 https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DGXQ8RGN Slightly better TB/$

TL-D800C does look a bit better - both specs and appearance. I like that it uses 12cm fans, though I wonder if the little pissy fan on the…

Yeah, I'm sceptical about USB for a highly available system. For that I use SAS HBAs or motherboards with SFF connectors and BTRFS with 2…

JBOD is an upside. Avoid hardware RAID like the plague. Do it all with software RAID.

Qnap is only 5Gbps. For four 24TB drives, you'd want 10Gbps.
