    3.2TB SSD for $240

    I have my SX 350 3.2TB working just fine in proxmox. Putting your storage volume of choice on top of it is manual though since the GUI doesn't enumerate /dev/fioX devices.

    RAID backup

    No, I put it under my neighbor's house incase mine burns down.

    RAID backup

    Or you can hit one firmware bug and/or have some silent data corruption/bit rot and be screwed without a second copy.

    RAID backup

    3 copies of your data on 3 different media. 1) Online active 50TB array 2) Replica array ideally in another building/datacenter/region 3) Offline copy on external bricks/Iron Mountain/cloud bucket/etc.

    Plasma is still beautiful and it's image quality rivals any modern tech!

    My downstairs TV is a Panasonic VT50 and it still has very low hours. I just use it for watching movies occasionally and it never disappoints.

    OCZ SSDS

    I used to work at Fusion-io before SanDisk bought them. We were constantly competing against OCZ since they were so cheap. One of my coworkers went to a PoC install so the customer could kick the tires on our ioDrives and compare vs OCZ. Their first test was to copy files to the ioDrive and...

    OCZ SSDS

    I have two old 120GB Vertex 2 drives still in operation. They must have contracted these out to someone else for the build, lol!

    Where are mainstream long m.2 SSDs?

    Grab some of the used enterprise m.2 22110s off of ebay then. You can get larger capacities, power loss protection, and better wear life there.

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    Or you could just use local ZFS on some fast storage and setup replication for your volumes between two nodes... No need to setup ceph, and I wouldn't recommend 3-node ceph, only 4 or more, that way you can still create storage volumes if a single node is offline.

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    I also just moved from ESX to Proxmox, but at home. Work is all KVM on Red Hat. Home prox servers are all xeonD-1541 supermicro boards

    Teamgroup 4tb nvme 169

    Likely still faster than the consumer 4TB QLC drives under sustained write and some other workloads. We've confirmed over on the STH forums that they are all new, factory-sealed.

    Are you happy with win 11?

    Resume from sleep takes about 1-2 seconds on my 7950x. That includes typing in my password.

    Are you happy with win 11?

    My only gripes with win11 are the taskbar changes. I have a lot of apps where I need lots of windows open, and hiding everything behind a single icon on the taskbar, forcing me to mouseover, and then only giving me previews without window titles is not sufficient. I've had to install Windhawk...
