I'm running two 4-bay QNAPs with 36TB each in JBOD. One backs up the other locally, syncing every night and holding 10 days of changes/deletes. I also do a monthly off-site delta backup. I chose QNAP because it's super flexible. I can do basic maintenance with their Android apps, full maintenance through the web interface. I can access the data as a network drive when I'm at home, and the media files both at home and away via Plex. My side hustle is media conversion and editing, vintage media collecting hence the ridiculous amount of storage and hardware. I have 20TB of archived data and about 4TB of active data, so I'm only using about 2/3 of the capacity. Adding/swapping storage is fairly easy, but time consuming especially if you choose the conservative path. When I upgraded from 32TB to 36TB each it took about a week using the conservative approach. There are probably a gazillion opinions around better ways to do what I'm doing, but what I'm doing works well for me.

For those looking for a screaming HDD deal https://bit.ly/2R6cLfK 8TB Easy Store at Best Buy for $130. Crack the case and it's a WD Red that sells for 2x that. Note that they are using white stickers now on the internal drives instead of the 'red' labels. People were selling them on ebays as Reds and profiting.

BlackMK4 posted:I've shucked a dozen of those, I had to tape off power pins on the newer ones to get them to spin up. Just a heads up, but super good deal I haven't had that experience, and also have a dozen between the 8TB and 10TB. That's weird.

BlackMK4 posted:I don't feel like looking it up now, but it has to do with your PSU and which pins it supplies power to for the SATA connectors. Something about old PSUs supplying power to the 3.3v rails and the new drives being put into the sleep state due to this It's possible the hardware I'm using doesn't care, which is why I haven't had any issues. Didn't mean to diminish your watchout.

shy boy from chess club posted:Speaking of video storage does anyone have a favorite program to rip my DVDs to digital so I can put them all on a ssd? It's time to setup my living room again now that my roommate is gone and finally setup a media server in my house for movies and music. I've been using WinX DVD Ripper for a long time - I've only run across a few that it couldn't crack the DRM on. It's licensed, but you can usually catch it on sale.

Beverly Cleavage posted:I'd like to just get a nas that can run plex, that way my library is available without having to turn on my "theater" mini. However, I'm a little leery of most consumer grade stuff. Anecdotal, I know, but GN has gone through 2 synology arrays that had something fail within the first 6 months. I haven't had a failure with QNAP in almost 5 years. I'm knocking on wood. Possible failure why I have an on-site and off-site backup. Also, with JBOD there's no requirement for the drives to match. You might notice a performance change if a drive is a slower or faster speed than another, when you read/write to it. Edit: I know 3 folks with current gen Pathfinder and all 3 are ready to dump it. The general concensus is it does nothing well, and the interior bits don't hold up well. Goober Peas fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Jan 5, 2019 |

First world problem: I ordered a new top-of-the-line Whirlpool range. It was delivered today, went to connect the cord and the neutral connector is broken off. Fortunately the connectors are on its own little removable module, took it to Lowes. They told me to go to an electrical supply house, or call the 800 number and request a new range. I asked them if they had a floor model. Until today, they literally never had a customer suggest pilfering parts off the floor model. Once it was suggested, they had no issues and helped me swap the parts. 5 minutes later, and a drive home, I'm back in business.

slidebite posted:Back when I worked retail many, many years ago that was totally the norm with a big item. They'd just claim warranty with the manufacturer against that unit instead of yours. Don't get me wrong - their first suggestion was to report it as DOA and have me wait on them to order another range. Which is crazy because it's literally on a module held in by two Phillips screws. I literally watched their mouths fall open when I suggested scavenging the display. A couple of beats later, they acted like it was the best idea ever and helped me. I've already shot the store manager a thank you email.

Central vac chat: My grandparents built a monster split level house in 1976. 6 bedrooms/6 baths, 2 garages (a 3 car on the lower level, 2 car on the second level). They built in two central vac systems with the motors and repositories located in each garage. One serviced the ground floor, the other serviced the two upper floors. Most of the outlets were in the hallways, and a really long detachable hose (30 ft?). It took some strategy, but you could cover every square inch. The downside was that all of the apparatus required its own little closet (x2 because there were two systems), and it took a lot of effort to break it out and put it away. The sweeps were super handy - there were 2 in the kitchen, 1 in the dining room, 1 in the sewing/laundry room, 1 in the workshop. It took 2 years to find a buyer for the house when they passed - namely due to the size and the fact that it had 0 renovations since 1976. There were a lot of high end finishes that 35 years later just looked tacky. Or like a museum piece.

That's late 80s/early 90s interior, and has no business in a 1996 house.
