It's A Digital Disease!

Hey guys, I just picked up a "new" pc case. It's an Ultra m998 Mid-tower. I just noticed it has a port on the front for eSATA and it sounds like eSATA hard drives are relatively obsolete these days from what I've been reading. Half the plan for this build is archiving so should I get an eSATA external hard drive just to have? I don't mind if it's slower, I'm mostly thinking it might be more reliable than other external SSDs. I just lost years of games, documents, and programs when a new external SSD ended up being faulty. My own fault for loading it up with my important files but the whole purpose of it was to have a better backup drive.

If I shouldn't bother with an eSATA hard drive, what else can I do with this port? Thanks for any advice!

I am very new to the world of NAS. Up until recently I have gotten external drives to store video footage, from camera to games. A lot of the stuff I capture now is in 4k so obviously file sizes are going to be massive so I decided instead of buying so many 8tb-12tb external hard drives, I should just buy several big HDDs and put them together in an array.

However, the problem is I am not sure if I should get a DAS or NAS for that. What I care about most is storing the excess data and using it to edit video if necessary. Transfer speeds in that case are important.

I currently have both the Terramaster D5-300 and the Synology DS923+. I'd like to sell one and keep the other and the question is which?

On one hand, I hear a lot of people LOVE Synology and don't think too highly of Terramaster. And in the long run they are the superior choice.

On the other hand, I think NAS for me is overkill since I only use this for myself and not a small business. In addition because I want to plug it to the laptop I use directly I had to get a USB to 2.5gb adapter since Synology don't support direct USB connections. In addition it seems making the Synology work involves in getting a lot of additional components. Besides the adapter I had to get 32gb worth of RAM (which frankly I am not sure exactly what is the benefit). Not to mention I heard using SSDs for write and read cache is also beneficial. All of those expenses are a lot especially since I already had to spend a lot of money on the drives alone.

Making a RAID drive was quicker on the Terramaster and I didn't have to create a network folder like I did with Synology. But I don't want to have a situation I transfer all my stuff and then there is a random error and I must start from scratch. I guess another benefit I keep hearing with Synology is SHR being superior to RAID5 on Terramaster but I am not too familiar with all the raid types.

I'd appreciate any help and thank you for your time!

EDIT: I know the Synology Assistant warns you if one of the drives is about to fail, does Terramaster have something similar in case that happens?

Anyone know a site where you can save videos on Erome? I can’t find any.

I have a couple beater Dell laptops and M.2 drives from a few others. The laptops have M.2 slots for the main drive, and then a void for an SSD. I found the SATA cable that would enable that area, but rather than use a SSD for additional storage, I'd love to see if there is an SSD form factor tray or device that could hold 2 full sized M.2 drives and occupy that area.

For reference: laptop is a Dell 3551

I’d personally like to start digitally archiving important educational texts for preservation and personal reference for the future, but I don’t really know where to start and what the important texts would be. I’m talking all aspects of science from elementary to graduate PhD level, including medical reference texts, all subjects of history and literature, the works.

Where can we get information on what these texts are and where can I start to get digital copies of them to archive and, in the future, if necessary, distribute.

For now, I want to just start with step one in figuring out what these texts would be, then figuring out where to get digital copies or how to digitize them myself.

It would be nice to have a collaborative effort on this, but if I could be pointed in the right direction to start on my own, I’d appreciate it.

If anyone is interested in collaborating, we could start a discord on this subject.

Is there any archiving service that stores transcripts of interviews speeches etc. A lot of things are said these days. A lot of people and politicians seem to have amnesia so I’d like to use it as a research platform.

Hey team, I picked up a 20 TB used drive from goharderive, but was surprised when I looked up badblocks to see it's Linux only.

Is just a full format via windows 10 built in tool enough? Would you recommend a different tool?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I would like to know if that version is still safe to use on Windows 11 24H2 ?

I'm against subscription and I don't plan to pay for version X, since I have 2 PCS.

I'm not in a good financial situation right now but I still want to backup my stuff at least for cheap.

I'm also checking AOMEI Backupper, the free version.

Thanks for you inputs/comments.

My music library is a bit of a mess; I have a tonne of music on a (512 GB) SD card in my MP3 player. Some is in the cloud (rclone, mountable, so can be explored by file explorer and other tools), some is there with a slightly different naming syntax, some isn't there at all.

Finding dupes is easy. But I'd like to find a fairly straightforward way to locate folders/files that are on my SD card that aren't in the cloud under any name.

Why not just upload everything and windows explorer/ teracopy etc will check if I want to overwrite existing folders? Because on the SD, a file may be be:

'RHCP/2016 - The Getaway/01 The Getaway.mp3',

and on the cloud:

'RHCP - The Getaway/01 - The Getaway.mp3'.

So I won't be prompted , I'll end up wasting bandwidth on uploading duplicate data (my collection is enormous), and then have to clean it all with Dupeguru anyway...

Anyone have a tool for this usage case? Cheers guys n gals

So I was making an SSD backup using freefilesync and before I started to sync (copy) to the other drive I noticed that my 500gb SSD was showing in the file list as having 1.15TB of files. This is strange as I do not have compression enabled on this drive... I used another program called TeraCopy to copy files over and this one correctly copied ~500gb of files to the backup folder... to check if all files were copied I used Freefilesync again and clicked compare, strangely this time it is showing as ~830GB of files missing in the backup folder.... (I have double checked the paths and they are correct) What is wrong? It does not make sense that a 500gb drive has 1.15TB of data if this data is not compressed, should I trust that TeraCopy did in fact copied all files? Or should I go with the Freefilesync?

Hi all,

Is there a way to download individual files? I'm on Leakedzone. Even if I enter the URL of one particular video, it ends up downloading the whole page

Thanks

I think the question is clear enough. I have noticed that when on linux I have to mount a drive to use it where as on windows the drives are always available. I want to know when the drives are unmount in linux are they in switched off state, and does it help improve the life of the drives, compared to windows?

I'm working on restoring an item unlocker for a video game that relied on an API from 2018, which is no longer active. This process included an HTTP request to a news article that no longer exists and wasn't archived. The good news is that I can take an article from that time period and modify it (which I've already done). However, the JavaScript is broken, and after spending the last week debugging minified and obfuscated JavaScript, I've made no progress.

I'm not familiar enough with HTTrack or other methods for capturing web pages, and no matter what I try, it always seems to break the JavaScript in some way. If anyone has any tips or tricks for capturing a single page with all the necessary scripts intact, your help would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has any questions about the whole thing feel free to ask. The rest of the application is essentially done as I've mapped out the memory addresses in the application and recreated an barebones and stubby api just to emulate the process. This is the last piece needed.
