I've been using renewed (refurbished) 8TB drives off of Ebay - SAS 8TB for $50-60 each. Not a single failure in over a year on the dozen or so drives I'm running right now. I'm running unRAID with a combination of unRAID's native array drives (for media and "disposable" stuff) in a dual parity config, and ZFS (with snapshots replicated to a live backup on a secondary server) for important personal stuff (and backed-up off-site a few times a year).

Even if something were to perish, I have enough spares to just chuck one in and let it resilver without worrying at all. I'm content with this as a homelabber and when I'm not supplying critical service for a business, etc.

Nogami ,

Just using a little HEX for my home network (recommended by a friend at the BBC who use mikrotik extensively).

No issues upgrading.

Nogami ,

Just wish they were more affordable. The only reason for the crazy pricing is that it’s what big companies can afford to pay rather than home labbers. They’re not all that complex compared to other mass market tech.

Nogami ,

Get a controller that works with SAS drives and buy them used and cheap from eBay. Consumer devices won’t run SAS drives on SATA controllers so they’re usually cheaper.

Cave paintings aren’t video or audio. They’re pictures. You can print your photos or print grabs from your videos.

Pretty tired of catering to other people’s allergies. Unless you need an epipen to survive it I really don’t care about their sniffles or scratchy eyes.

Nogami ,

You appear to have issues.

Nogami ,

I refuse to believe that we are the only intelligent life in the universe, even though for most humans that bar is pretty low.

When I finally “die” I’ll no doubt get kicked back out into the real world and have to plug in another quarter.

The Victorinox swiss army knife is simply the best pocket tool! (Edit: no one tool is everyone's best)

@edc

The more I look at alternatives, the more I realize, nothing can give you this much functionality in this small a package, while being so high quality and reasonably priced. Popular (machine-assembled) versions regularly go for $25.

The one caveat is that it falls behind modern knives in terms of safety and ease for opening/closing. I'd love to see a next-gen SAK without nail nicks.

Nogami , (edited )

My Leatherman Squirt P4 will disagree with you. And that I need a keychain tool not a pocket tool. The SAK is too chunky in width to pocket carry comfortably for me.

They discontinued the squirt line which sucks though.

Storage is dirt cheap. Just add more. IT at work bugs out their eyes when I talk about adding more storage space. I have more at home than they do in the office. Lol.

I’ve been buying used 8TB HGST drives from eBay. Dirt cheap and haven’t had one fail yet.

Nogami ,

I’m a big advocate of unraid servers. Mix
And match any size of drives you have available into a single large NAS with protection against drive failures. You can use old pc hardware you might have lying around. It’s commercial software but you can demo it for free. It’s good enough that I own two full pro licenses.

Nogami ,

I get what you’re proposing but I’d respectfully suggest looking into unRAID on basically any hardware that can boot an OS.

It won’t necessarily be small and cute (though you can accomplish that if you wish), but you can make it do just about anything. I bought old enterprise hardware to run my main and backup servers on. I feel really comfortable with my data safety.

Nogami ,

So you don’t know unraid has ZFS now then? Gotta keep up with the times.

And it’s worth every cent as commercial software. I bought 2 pro licenses because it’s just that good.

Nogami ,

Unraid natively supports full ZFS arrays in addition to unraid arrays since the last major release. Can mix and match both types on the same system as necessary.

All of my (easily replaceable) Plex media is native unraid arrays while my documents are all on a ZFS array on the same system with snapshots and such. It’s the perfect solution.

Nogami ,

What is the quality of the 3rd party tools like? I’d be interested in the scalpel holder and the bit holder. I don’t need the Free P4 saw ever so replacing it would be just fine.

Gaza gonna be gone permanently before this is over.

Nogami ,

Who cares what some doofus YouTuber thinks?

Nogami ,

Someone who relies on sensationalism to drive clicks to his business is not trustworthy. Believe what you want.

Nogami ,

Oh a homophobe. What a novel approach. Nobody has though of that before.

Go to any YouTube reviewer that’s paid by the click. There you go.

Nogami ,

I went down the unRAID rabbit hole.

I never came back up, I’m happy here.
