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.

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

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

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.

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.

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...

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

Time to update my MiSTer then I suppose...

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.

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.

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

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.

You can have an enterprise SSD with much higher PBW for $10 more... https://www.amazon.com/Intel-D3-S4510-SSDSC2KB038T801-2-5-Inch-Enterprise/dp/B07H1RYNS8

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

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...

I work from home, use 30+ browser tabs across two different browser profiles for work/personal... I have no issues working either from my desktop with 16 cores and 32GB of DRAM, or my Laptop with 4 cores and 16GB of DRAM. In both cases, all DRAM gets used up by system caches, as any unused DRAM...

Quite literally everything in your post is incorrect. The most common array setup in linux is with mdadm, and you generally feed it bare disks. If you take a windows drive that was mirrored in windows via dynamic disks, you can absolutely pull a drive, mount it in linux via fuse nfts and read...

Aah, yes... the changes are at the driver level, and won't be applied until the driver is reloaded. I think you could just toggle the iomemory-vsl services in windows and it would apply the override when it starts back up.

The cards don't have any limits at all. The driver defaults to write limiting at 25W. The setting is there because back in the day, Dell R600/700/900 servers only supported a total of two 25W cards and all the rest had to be 15W or less or you'd brown-out the server =P I used to have R900...

Lookup tutorials on using REW (Room Equalization Wizard). Output from your soundcard should be flat to begin with as long as you have all software EQ, Dolby/etc disabled at the OS and driver level.

You can run 10gig on cat5e just fine. I have several 50ft runs in my house doing 10gig over 5e just fine. It's been stable for 5+ years now.

Driver should auto-detect the supported slot power configuration, but that's usually in server boards. In the cases that it doesn't the card limits it 25W for writes, which will hamper performance, especially for large files where the block sizes and throughput will be larger. If your...

Yeah, my two recent 3.2TB acquisitions are pretty young: [root@nfskvm ~]# fio-status -a |grep written Physical bytes written: 26,125,592,499,616 Physical bytes written: 6,335,470,649,880

I worked at Fusion-io for 6 years, I'm still buying up used FIO gear on ebay, but usually only if folks can provide the fio-status output. There are still lots of gems out there. I got a brand new 3.2TB SX350 at the end of last year, that was a nice find. I support lots of Fusion-io stuff over...

I just track this: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/market_share.html

As safe/secure as you can make your WebDAV setup.

"SSD prices keep falling Patriot 2 GB $80" You mean TB?

Yeah, I used one of my synology nas units to sync files from all of my devices and had exposed shares via WebDAV and their file clients on each device.

I run nextcloud in a jail on my freenas at home and use dynamic dns updates so that a subdomain of my website points at it. I run the nextcloud client on my phone, laptops, desktops, etc... self-host my keepass and other useful things on it.

You can change anything without reinstalling linux... You can have both gnome, kde, xfce, etc all installed at the same time and can choose them at your login window where you pick your username/password (if you have that setup).

I mean, that's not a linux problem, but a problem of your application... if you are using gnome, there are extensions that can be added to it to control window positioning: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/16/auto-move-windows/ Gnome itself does not keep track of window positions, nor...

I recently paid $300 for a 12-port 10gige netgear switch. The XS712T

Heh, you /think/ you have clean data... unless you individually checksum every file, you have no way of knowing. I've found some jpeg photos from my old digital camera that had an artifact or two in them that I noticed a dozen years later in editing. I compared vs my backups and sure enough...

TrueNAS is probably your top choice. You can find a ton of support for it online, though you may have to search "FreeNAS" to get most of the useful stuff since the name recently changed. Been running both FreeNAS/TrueNAS and now even TrueNAS SCALE at home for many years.

ceph?

I'm also a DT880 fan, but I'll throw the audiotechnica m50x out there. They are fantastic for literally everything and well respected as studio monitor headphones/etc.

Just use the built-in windows backup. Ideally, install the Win7 backup and restore to win10 (works in win11 as well). It takes perfect machine images and can be restored from at install time. If you keep multiple backups, you can easily navigate to your backed up files by date/etc. and restore...

No, I get more speed than single drive, just 2GB/sec per drive, so 3 drives gets me 6GB/sec. If I build this in linux with mdraid, I can get 8GB/sec since I can get the full 2.7GB/sec per drive.

There's definitely overhead in windows for software raid setups, even in a raid-0 is pretty hefty too. I have a few 3GB/sec read/write ioDrives in my setup but in a raid-0 stripe I only get about 2GB/sec per drive out of them. I can run parallel benchmarks on all 3 and get 2.7GB/sec each just...

You can't shut the BT off...
