I dropped my EasyStore 8 TB External Drive accidentally. It was a short fall. These things are sensitive. There is no damage to the outer layer. I plug it in to my PC and the files don't come up. It also makes a clicking sound. Is it possible that I can open it up and move the disc head to the orange colored mechanism like the video I provided?

Hi everyone! I have been in on the lookout for a small 4/6 bay enclosure that can house 2.5 inch SSDs, and are specifically designed for them, not just support them and are designed for 3.5 inches, since size is my main concern. However I was not able to find one at all, does anyone know about one that I missed?

Also, I could build one myself, but I would need a power+data SATA backplane like the Pi HATs, but one that works with normal PCIE ports and not just Raspberry Pis.

If anyone knows a solution to either of the two above, please give me some points it's been very exhausting trying to find a solution.

How can we verify screenshots of tweets etc? Is there such a service. Been seeing some crazy Grok screenshots so it hit me thinking.

Hey everyone,

I came across some videos on Loom that I’d like to download. Right now, I only have access to the ones I have a direct link to. However, I’m curious if there’s a way to see all the videos a user has uploaded to Loom.

Is there a way to view a user’s entire video library uploaded on loom.com?

Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂

Hello. I have a WALL of DVDs,BRDs, box sets, CDs, you name it. I just moved to a new place and no longer want this big media wall in my living room. I am thinking of backing all that media onto a large SSD to use with my TV or Computer. I also have many 1tb and 2 tb ssds with family movies and photos that I would like to consolidate.

I am not the most techno-savvy but am not against learning.

Would these two work as a solution? Do I just put the black drive into the aluminum housing?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

Currently have a BenQ TK720STI and a Sony UBP-X700 blu-ray player. Glasses are EStar ESG601.

3D blu-ray movies play just fine.

Is there a way to get the projector to recognize a 3D movie that is coming from mkv files via the Sony's usb connection or from mkv files on the blu-ray disk? File sizes are between around 4gb-16gb.

Thanks

I recently got a new 256GB Kingston USB after my old one became read-only after less than a year of use.

When I transfer files to this new one, every couple of seconds it freezes for maybe 10 or so seconds. This happened with the USB from the beginning and I never had this issue with the old one.

What I've mainly been using the USB for is playing video files on my TV and now it's started to disconnect and reconnect from the TV making it impossible to actually watch anything, also never had this issue with the old one.

I've had the USB for less than a week and the reason I'm posting here is cause Kingston is supposed to be reliable and I don't know if the issue somehow is on my side.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi, I currently have a full tower PC, with 5x internal 3.5 drives. I'm wanting to move to a much smaller PC, so I can have my PC in my lounge to game - The pc was used before as a server to stream movies to my Nvidia shield pro

I'm just wondering if these 5 X drives could run outside of my new build? As the pc would be placed by a cupboard that the drives could be stored.

I'm thinking they could go USB 3.0, but I'm sure that would cause some type of bottleneck? With so many drives.

My 5x hard drives are setup via drivepool, which is a software type raid.

Maybe I should just keep my pc as a server as it is and build a smaller, gaming pc for my lounge?

Money is tight so just thought to ask if I could create a setup that suits all!

Thanks 👍 😊

Edit I was thinking mini ITX build

I've been ripping for years, but lost everything. Got a new computer and decided 2 years ago to start ripping my now small collection. Everything was going great, never getting errors with secure rips. Now, a few months ago I started getting errors on multiple tracks per CD. I thought it might be my drive, so I bought a USB drive to rip, same errors. These are brand new and are coming with errors. I know some errors can be due to manufacture defects, but wouldn't that be for all of that one CD? I have two of the same CD, and it gives errors on different tracks. Even tracks that have ripped 100% error free before are now randomly getting errors. Am I all of a sudden doing something wrong? I use dbpoweramp. I've even tried EAC and it will give errors, but on different tracks than what dbpoweramp did. I'm so confused.

Hi all, I recently bough a 4-bay FANTEC QB-35U31 DAS (~€170, so relatively cheap I guess) which is connectd to a Beelink S12 Pro mini server. It works really well, expect for one major issue: the fan noise

Even on the lowest speed setting, the fan is still very loud and in addition I can't shut it down when the HDDs go to sleep. I already tried placing it in a cupboard, but it's not enough to reduce the noise. Since the setup is in the living room, my wife also complains about it...

Does anyone have recommendations for an extremely quiet 4-bay (minimum) DAS that I can connect via USB 3.2 to my server? It should support 3.5” and 2.5” drives (for caching).

Thanks in advance!

I want to build a NAS but I don’t really know where to start. I am trying to spend around $400 not including drives but I could push to $500 if needed.

Since it will be on 24/7 I would love to keep power consumption as low as possible.

The only thing I know for sure is I want to run TrueNAS in RAID-Z2 so I need room for at least 4 drives.

My use case

2TB of movies and TV shows that I would love to get in Jellyfin.

1TB of documents and images I want to keep that will be replicated to the cloud.

2TB of random junk I might need one day and don’t want to delete but it is not worth backing up to the cloud.

Yo, is this amount of reported SMART errors considered normal, or should i be worried? The "short" serial numbers are HGST HUH721212AL5204 drives, the "long" numbers are Samsung SSDs.

Hi,

summary:

I'm looking for advice on solutions for organizing my media and with regard to my use case below.

situation:

I am looking for solutions specifically to help me organise my video files (movies/tv) and away from locked ecosystems.

I have a single computer (Mac) and playback is also on this same machine or sometimes air play to another screen or tv.

Single user only.

File collection is still quite small, but growing.

requirements / nice to haves:

Be  able to add/view meta data for the files - ie film/tv details

search files for film or tv show

group films by series or even films and tv shows together

See a record of what I have watched (I currently use Trakt)

deal with multiple languages - Show the film title in English or native language, options for subtitles or audio in different languages

I'm going to buy my first drives for my Terramaster D4-320. I will be buying manufacturer recertified from serverpartsdeals as they seem to have an excellent reputation.

Later this year I plan to install 3 Reolink camera's with an 8 Mbps bitrate. I've calculated that I need about 15TB of storage for video storage and my media needs (arr server setup with Jellyfin). I will have 20TB in ZFS Z2. A bit more than I need but properly sized enterprise drives are out of stock, or not a good spec on the website.

I chose the HC510 for helium-filled and reliability. They will be in a dry basement that's cool all year round and noise is irrelevant.

Now I don't plan on buying all 4 of them immediately as I don't have the camera's yet and losing my media is acceptable at this point in time. Will I be able to buy 3 more HC510's later on and if not will there be compatibility issues with other 10TB drives in ZFS?

I'm still new to the whole data storage and home server landscape and just going off what seems to be generally accepted as good hardware.

I've looked into new WD Red Pro's too but they're more expensive new for less. They're also out of stock recertified and I have no idea how often they're restocked seeing as how they're not enterprise drives.

EDIT: seems like HC510 is helium too, so might pick those. I replaced the HC520 in my post.

I apologize if this is wrong sub for this. Does anyone here have archive of Intel RealSense games, or know where to find it?

I am searching for Madagascar: Move It, a game I played in 2016 when bought a HP Pavilion Gaming 15 Laptop equipped with RealSense F200. Since I lost my recovery partition and the RealSense has been officialy discontinued, I could not find it even on the IA

Thank you in advance!

It's one of the WD Easystore externals and I have it sitting in the open, my house just heats up fast during the day and I'm struggling to find a way to get that 53c knocked down to 45-50c. This drive runs 24/7 and I didn't realize it was running this hot passively.

Any advice?

Starting off by using this 120GB Drive to backup my photos and all old documents I have from old laptops and whatnot. Hopefully in a few years I'll get to a few TB levels but right now this is the only free drive I have so starting off slow on a very long journey!
