Fair enough, I ask because nobody really mentions them but their backblaze stats seem good on a failure rate standpoint and they’re fast since they run at the full 7200rpm where others don’t. Though I have heard they’re noisy (pun intended).
I’ve always felt shucking drives to be a bit risky personally, moreso now.
Have you considered the Toshiba N300 range?
Nah, thanks but I think I’ve got a handle on the options, my original reply was more a tongue-in-cheek “cries in brick wall” type thing. I mean it has its positives, I could hang a wall mounted rack anywhere without any prep or checking :)
Yeah ended up doing that in a couple of places, for me its not practical to have bundles of cable running from a central switch, because of having to run a cable through a hole in the wall, hiding it behind skirting boards (baseboards) and under floors (where there are crawl spaces). My work place is based in a really old building and theres just bundles of ethernet everywhere running across floors and loosely attached to walls etc, wish they spent the time, effort and money of equipment running fewer 10Gb runs to floors then having 10Gb to 1Gb switches for the workstations.
Any advice for Victorian era terraced houses in the UK where every wall is solid brick :/
Runbox is pretty good, webmail isn’t amazing but just use Thunderbird and FairEmail with IMAP
