Just looking for some recommendations. I currently have a server with 6x8tb drives running raid 5 software array. What I'd like to do is replace these drive with larger capacity ones and take the 6x8tb out to put in a DAS as a backup. I'd need something with raid support. Will the DAS auto adopt and mount my array? As I don't have another method of storage large enough to back up the data elsewhere in the mean time. In an ideal world I'd like to add the new drives and build the new array in the server, chuck the old drives in the DAS and have my data available and ready to copy back on to the new array. What would everyone's recommendations be for a 6 bay DAS? Based in the UK

Hi all, not sure if this is the correct place to ask this.

With the wwe network closing down the end of December, and moving over to nerflix is there a way to download from Netflix?

I am using a brilliant app called LetMeAtait to download from the network, I'm just worried I won't be able to get what I wanted in time.

Thanks.

As the title says. I have been hosting storage for about 3 years. I have 2 servers that make a passive profit each month. I just need to keep an eye on the servers to make sure they are up and running.

I recently build a 3rd server and made a video about it. And I created a public dashboard where everyone can see the expenses and earnings. It takes months to fill the hard drives with paying data (it’s not a get rich quick) but my other servers are making profit so to me it’s a fun hobby / project. If you are interested, here is the video explaining some stuff. My channel also has a few guides and stuff for anyone wanting to learn more.

Hope some are finding this interesting, if not I wish you a marry Christmas. Best Andreas.

Hi All,

I'm new to this stuff, but trying to learn. I've got a NAS rated Seagate drive in a DAS enclosure attached via USB C to a laptop running Plex in a VM on a hypervisor.

I was doing my usual downloading. No more than 8 torrent active downloading, maybe 6 uploading. Someone in the house was watching a video from it. And then I had the genius idea to, from my personal PC, plug in my phone so I could load a file from the DAS to my phone directly. When I did this, the GUI element that windows pops up for file copy progress was stuck at 0%. I closed it and tried again. Now this is me being dumb, I tried it two more times. Then I got IO fails on the torrent and realized the drive just errored out IO -5 fail. Error at 0x2. I then rebooted, dumbly restarted my torrents, and immediately failed again. This time I rebooted, ran xfs repair, cleared and deleted the partially downloaded torrents. Now things seem back to normal, but I haven't had time to run a full health check on the drive since it's an 8tb drive.

I'm wondering what specifically caused it so I can avoid the fail in the future. I just tried transferring the file that I was trying to get on my phone to my personal computer first, then to my phone, and that worked without issue. I'm wondering if trying to transfer from the server DAS drive over my network to my phone connected to my PC was the issue. It's the only thing I did differently than I would usually do. I'm wondering if there are permissions on the newer Android phone that would have refused the file transfer due to it not coming directly from the PC I had it plugged into. I'm also unsure if this little mishap caused permanent damage to my drive.

I'm a noob, but still a nerd, so hopefully I'll understand. Any thoughts are appreciated!

If you're setting up a NAS home server to operate as backup storage / a media server, etc. Why do some prefer Proxmox on bare metal as opposed to one of the many NAS OSes that support virtualization? I guess in my mind it seems redundant to have an OS designed for virtualization on bare metal with a NAS OS (that probably supports virtualization) virtualized. But I'm very much a noob and really just trying to learn. I don't know what I don't know and am trying to fill my knowledge gaps.

question in title - Can Playstation 5 play/view content of M-disc Blu ray?

The original post: /r/datahoarder by /u/mdknight666 on 2024-12-19 01:43:51.

I have 2 14 tb drives on windows 10. One drive had an error after booting and disk repair fixed a lot of things but I believe something was corrupted along the way.

My other drive has no errors and was regularly cloned from the source drive. I did this before the corruption occurred.

I want to compare these 2 drives now to see which files mismatch in file size or any other metadata, so I can correct it.

Are there any recommended apps for windows that can do this?

I am running all SSD's, about 32tb with the 1618+. When I access the files with SMB I find it to be slow sometimes. Its connected thru the 10gb expansion slot, but sometimes I feel like its not fast enough. If I upgrade to the 1821/23, I see the CPU is much better but will I notice a difference on speed of loading the SMB?

After much tinkering I think I've found my optimal backup strategy. I'd like to gather some feedback as well as post for posterity for other data hoarders looking at options!

My data setup is currently 3 24TB drives in RAIDZ1 on TrueNAS. I have a 4th on ice for expansion/replacement. I have several "top-level" datasets— Immich, Media, TimeMachine. The Media dataset has a sub-dataset for each type of media (movies, tv, games, etc.). Each dataset carries two designations— hot vs cold, and update vs. append-only. These designations help with snapshot and backup strategy.

"Hot" data is data I may need to read from quickly in case it becomes unavailable or corrupted for some reason. This includes my Immich dataset and my TimeMachine dataset. TM is limited to 4TB and rsync sync's weekly to Backblaze. Immich is unlimited and rsync copies daily to backblaze.

"Cold" data is data that will not change and that I never need immediate access to. This is basically everything under my Media dataset. All sub-datasets rsync copy to Glacier Deep Archive daily.

Next, I do snapshots. For "append-only" datasets (Immich, Media) I do snapshots once daily since they won't take up much space when you are almost exclusively adding files. Snapshots live for two weeks. For data that may be updated significantly each time I write (TimeMachine) I don't do snapshots to save space (I'm okay with the lessened data security here since this is a backup of my laptop and also has another copy in backblaze).

Overall at the moment this brings my costs to about $12-13/month right now (~1.3 TB in Backblaze, ~3.5 TB in Glacier). As this scales this should keep costs low as TM has a limited quota and immich will grow very slowly over time as it's only for me and one friend and i don't take tons of pics. And GDA is $1/TB/mo so as my media grows I'll be able to store safely without too much on the wallet.

Yes, I know GDA has high egress costs. However, I would only need this in the very unlikely case that a drive fails and another drive fails while resilvering (which, btw, is NOT actually significantly more likely to happen than under normal conditions as this sub would have you think).

What are your thoughts? Could I further optimize costs anywhere? Are there risks here that I'm blind to that I'm not covering?

Hi. I have a DVD I want to rip and place in my library. In the DVD there's a behind the scenes(bts) clip too,

I first tried this using MakeMKV and fed it the VIDEO_TS.IFO. It would open up and show me the movie and the behind the scenes clip. The info in there are:

Resolution: 720x576

Aspect Ratio: 16:9

Frame Rate: 25

I tried making mkv:s out of them and it seems perfect. I suppose this is what people call a remux?

Nothing has been altered, just moved to another container.

So the movie is fine, but the problem is with the bts. It doesn't look correct at all. Am I understanding things correctly that the resolution is one thing and how it is displayed is another thing. It's in fact being stretched out to a 16:9 aspect ratio. So the pixels are non-square? And this is a common procedure I'm sure. If they would be square the resolution would have had to be 1024x576 for 16:9.

If I play the movie in VLC it will show me a correct picture, defaulting to 16:9 and if I snapshot a frame and inspect it, it will indeed be 1024x576.

Now the issue is with the bts. This will do exactly the same as it has the same media info as the movie. However the bts is not a 16:9 recording. I believe it should be 4:3, or possibly 5:4, but a 5:4 looks too squished. 720x576 with square pixels is a 5:4 aspect ratio though, but I think it looks better at 768x576. How can I even tell what the correct aspect ratio is?

I assume someone didn't care too much when making this clip for the DVD.

I would like to rectify this. but not sure exactly how to. Is there a way to add some metadata to say this is a 4:3 aspect ratio or how does it work?

as it looks when taking a snapshot with VLC.

Trying to find a cheap desktop drive for mass storage. something under 300 USD (I live in New Zealand). Came across these two drives from this vendor (prices seem reasonable) but not sure what the difference is

I’ve got one user on my Immich server that has 522gb of photos and 202gb of images. Using the Immich UI is nearly impossible since it loads so slowly. I’ve deleted and regenerated all thumbnails at a smaller size and quality but this did not aid.

I’ve seen a link to go directly to the search page, but I often just want to scroll through and browse the library while not looking for anything in particular.

If anyone has any suggestions I look forward to hearing them. Thanks!

The Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) has a number of saved images from Reddit and Imgur, and this is great. However it is far from complete, which makes sense. I'm wondering if there is another archive out there where one can test URLs and possibly recover lost images from Reddit and Imgur.

To be clear, I'm not talking about PushShift data for posts and images, I mean images and albums.

I'm going to finish my home server when I open my Christmas gifts. I had planned all this time to run TrueNAS Scale because it's free and the web ui looks nice. I also intend to use my home server for media serving, NextCloud, Pi Hole, Immich, and probably more.

When I realized how I couldn't just increase the size of a ZFS pool when I got more hard drives, or use different sized drives, I decided that maybe it'd be worth the money to go with Unraid.

I've also been learning and practicing setting up a server / server management on a Hetzner VPS with Ubuntu Server 24 and a mounted Hetzner Storage Box, and I've to realize working in the terminal isn't as complicated as I first thought. I'm not very familiar with setting up hard drive RAIDs on Ubuntu, but I'm not opposed to learning.

What are your thoughts on Ubuntu Server vs a dedicated NAS OS like TrueNAS or Unraid?

Amazon seems to be selling these refurbished hdds for quite a good price, 115€ for 10TB seems like a bargain, reviews seem to be around the 4.2 stars even though there's quite some 1 star reviews stating some problems with them.

Would you consider these refurbished hdds worth it? Do any of you know better places to buy them in Europe?

Had an interesting thought recently, looking through my Youtube playlist of today, and comparing it to the playlist I had a few years ago (that I'd backed up). Hundreds of videos were missing, primarily of video game soundtracks and such. For many of these videos, I hadn't thought about them for a long time, and if I didn't have that backup, I would've completely forgotten that they'd existed.

Basically, back things up! I wouldn't have had some joyful memories had I not downloaded those songs so long ago.

In an era where the media you enjoy can be lost to time, it is imperative.

I purchased 4 drives from the Seagate online store last week, and after almost a week of waiting, today I received an email saying the order was canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances". I contacted customer support, and they said it's an "internal error", and I need to place the order again.

The problem is, the drives I bought was a very good deal ($260 for a 20TB Ironwolf pro), and I don't think they want to honor the deal, hence the order cancellation. Quite scummy if you ask me.

I bought a 1tb WD my passport a couple of days ago and I just noticed that it makes a click sound when I gently flip it, like the internals are loose and not firm in their place and move with gravity. Can someone who owns one check to see if theirs makes the same sound or not, I need to know if it's faulty so I can return it before it's too late.
