with the recent nhentai stuff going on I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to clone/archive specific parts of ehentai, specifically the English doujinshi. If that's possible is there any way to get the Metadata, and any way to host ehentai locally? Thanks

I’m moving one of my pcs from windows -> linux, but one of my hard drives is using ntfs. is there any way to change the file system to ext4 without having to move the contents to another drive, formatting, then moving back? It’s a 16tb drive, so I don’t really want to go through the pain of this

I've currently got a 40x10mm Noctua on my HBA but the card has to go in the bottom PCIe slot of my motherboard, making the fan block the last HDD mount of my Node 804. I'm looking at this VGA cooler as a low-profile replacement and there should still be around 5mm of clearance for airflow between this and my hard drive. Does anyone have experience running a VGA cooler on an HBA?

a few months ago i got tired of having my series and movies badly organised and having to dig through folders to find what i want to i setup a simple sonarr/radarr with plex and it's been working great, but my HDD is now almost full and after buying a new one i'm realising that keeping torrents seeding while having hardlinks with sonarr is just not an option across multiples disks on windows?

• would a NAS fix this issue? what options do i have? and why would it work on other systems, is it just windows sucking?
• also how much of a pain will it be to move my disks to a new system and have qbittorent recognize everything correctly? will hardlinks break and i'll have to redo em?
• also i see that NAS have a limited numbers of slots, one with only two seems like it would be rapidly limiting?

i really want to be able to keep seeding everything without having to waste space by having copies of files for plex to recognize things properly

I have some NSFW videos that are a bit long (22 minutes), but I’m having trouble finding somewhere I can keep it there without paying a fee. I’ll probably end up sucking it up and getting a subscription, but wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions! Thank you guys 🩶

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on a jbod setup. I have my setup working fine so far. I'm using a sc826 chassis and it has a SAS3-826EL1 backplane. I have the CSE-PTJBOD-CB2 board mounted in the chassis which really I'm just using for fans and the power button. Everything is working to my server/computer with an LSI-9300-8e and all 12 drives are showing and able to hoard without issue.

The question becomes the chassis also has the rear 2 trays which have SATA connectors, I would love to add 2 more sata SSDs to my setup but alas I have no motherboard in the chassis to hook up the SATA connectors.

Is there something I could do that would allow me to take advantage of these 2 additional rear 2.5 drive trays? Any advice would be appreciated since I'm kind of new to this setup.

Thanks!

Hi all! So I'm in the process of setting up a TrueNAS server to use to backup some of the files/systems on my home network. I'm also planning to make some backup copies on cloud storage. I may be overthinking this, but I was wondering what the best way to do this would be:

1. Have my main computer run a backup to the NAS, and have the NAS run a backup of itself to the cloud storage.
2. Have my main computer run a backup to the NAS, and have it run another backup directly to cloud storage.

Is there a standard or "correct" way to do this? If not, what might be some of the pros/cons for each method?

WD passport vs Seagate one touch ??

Which one to go for between WD PASSPORT // WD ELEMENTS // SEAGATE ONE TOUCH?

I heard that all WD 2.5 inch external hdd have the USB interface integrated on the mainboard, requiring expensive method to recover data.

Seagate, the only manufacturer's 2.5" externals are regular SATA drives with a detachable interface.

Q1- So is it easy for a third party data recover to recover data from failed HDD of Seagate than from WD passport? /elements ??

Sort of like Github. Doing it remotely through file explorer is so slow.

I just read an article on SSDs and their longevity. Apparently some company (I think Intel) tested a LOT of SSDs and found most of them could have over a PETABYTE of data written to them before they would wear out to the point of being useless.

I have a Seagate Backup 1 TB HDD that I've been using as an external drive since 2019 (after I broke my first one that has 10 thousand of my files on it... need to get that fixed because it still spins up but won't read) however I'm getting more and more paranoid that the thing is going to die on me for some inexplicable reason.

SSDs have no moving parts, that's the big point for me, disk drives can break from impacts (or the cheap ones can even have connection issues just being tilted on their side for a second).

So would a Samsung T7 or similar SSD drive have just fine reliability so long as it was plugged regularly so as to not lose its charge? I use my drive all the time so the thing wouldn't go for longer than a week at most without being powered on.

SSDs are expensive but I'd much rather just sell the two Seagates I have right now after wiping them and put that towards a Samsung SSD than risk breaking one or the other because they have moving parts.

Also if y'all are wondering I keep everything on my external drive so I can move from computer to computer and work from any machine I'm at. So protecting the drive or at least making it less likely to break if it falls off my desk for some real stupid reason is paramount for me.

I have a server that I built in a desktop format. It has plenty of space for my personal backups, which is in raid 0+1 to prevent loss, but I'm finding myself wanting to expand and really put a foot forward in having a serious amount of drive space available for random bits and bobs collected over the years.

The case doesn't really support room for any additional drives, so I started thinking about an external solution to hold more storage for the existing system. There has to be a way to have drives in their own enclosure, but still connected to the system. I have room for a PCI-E card if there's some sort of way to maintain SATA speeds and yet have the drives in their own enclosure.

TL:DR; I want an external enclosure for storage drives, (that is nothing but a frame for the drives; not a requirement if there's a better solution), that I can connect to my desktop-style server. The bottleneck should be the drive speeds, not the bus between the server and the enclosure. Willing to add PCI-E card if necessary.

Will happily takes suggestions for enclosures and even for the drives themselves if anyone knows of affordable, quality drive options, as well.

I have 500gb+ worth of family photos that my parents keep, they never really sorted anything properly so it's a complete mess, I wanna make it easier to navigate, it's gonna be hard but possible.

So I wanted to ask if there are any good tools or something that can help me/do exactly that? It might be ready hard as many of the extremely old photos are from a digital camera and old 2008 phone.

If I'm gonna do it myself, I seriously have no damn clue how I'll do it.

I'm planning on setting up a truenas server at home, around 100TB, mostly for media, backups, home videos. I'm not sure if Scale or Core would be better, does anyone have experience with both?

Hello, I wonder if anyone can offer a little advice. I've been using Drive Bender for the past decade with a couple home server setups. First with WHS 2011 and now with Windows Server 2019 Datacentre. I switched over to the later when I built a new home server a couple years back and have never really enjoyed the experience. Recently for the life of me I can't get it to share my pooled drive over my home network to my other PCs and plus the fact Drive Bender is no longer supported, I'm considering a change.

My Server specs:

10th gen i3 16gb ram Lsi SAS card 8 assorted hdds = 42tb 256gb m.2 boot drive

Use case: Plex Server Bittorrent Home backups Valheim server

My question is how difficult would it be to switch over to something like TrueNas with out building a new rig? I guess it won't be able to read my existing drives as a single pooled one. But would I be able to copy over my files one drive at a time adding them to a new pool as I go.

Alternatively I'm considering sticking with Windows but doing a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro, that way I could easily repool my Drive Bender pool and convert to DrivePool. (Or even stick with DB, as it's been pretty solid for me use case so far... Is this dumb?) How does w11 holdup as a headless server?

Getting fed up with external drives and looking to buy a NAS. I'm computer illiterate so bare with my misunderstandings

Seem complaints about ransomware attacks on QNAP. I'm not sure how these happen. Do they hack into the QNAP servers and steal user information they use to hack into the NAS device in peoples homes? Is this a general problem with commercial NAS services/products?

The other option would be to build one by myself, with 3D print case or PC case with TrueNAS.

Is TrueNAS easy for the midwit to use, and how good is it compared to synology in terms of data errors and not fucking up the stored data

edit: just come to think of it, maybe I should opt for Windows based NAS and use some old hardware. I read a comment about windows having "poor data parity features", but isn't there any raid software I could use on windows with good parity features?

Hi all!

I need to start replacing my 4x8TB IronWolf + 1x6TB WD Red (all CMR) with some new HDDs. So I was think to start with a new 20TB, I use them on my Windows PC always on 24/7, I use it as a Plex Server and as my PC when I don't work.

Here in Italy I can buy:

• WD RED PRO 20TB WD201KFGX at 460€
• WD HC560 20TB WUH722020BLE6L4 at 395€

Nearly about 70€ of difference between the two HDD.

Which is the best of the two HDD in terms of reliability and noise ? I use them with Plex... 3 o 4 users... so they aren't always working... actually only 2 o 3 hours per night.

Another question... I don't understand the technology used on the HC560, on the WD webpage they talk about EAMR: https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/data-center-drives/ultrastar-dc-hc560-hdd?sku=0F38785

Is it worst or better than CMR?

Thanks in advance! :)

I have a large backup of visual elements for work. I recently downloaded a bunch of assets in .zip format. They won't open in file explorer "zip is invalid" but they do in one commander, until it gets to 90% and says file is corrupted.

However it actually unzips the .mov files I wanted and the corrupted data (far as I can tell) was just residual text info from a mac filesystem. Is it safe to keep these or be doing this in the same directory? I'm concerned about data integrity or the subfolders or whatever else getting corrupted. Maybe I'm overthinking.

OK.. Here's a thing.. I'm hoarder, I love having multiple backups of stuff and so on (yeah, still buying hard drives), but I found out that I have mess, like huge mess caused by fact, I store same files on multiple devices.. It's painfull especiallywin case of old book scans and pictures..

File listing isn't good one since it doesn't solve context.. I know there are multiple apps to do it, but.. AFAIK. Most require both copies to physically exist on drives connected to unit making comparsions.. So my question is, is there way to make database similar to md5checksums to make base of data about thousands of copies to let app (perfectly if it could be some Linux software) and then compare it with files on other storages? I know I can do it manually, but.. Doing it again and again after finding new dipped backup is just painful 😅

So I have an old gaming pc sitting next to my TV which has now turned into a YouTube/Netflix/downloading machine. I've been contemplating turning the thing into a NAS and buying a mini PC to take it's place. Or a SBC. Or something, I'm unsure, but that's a different topic.

Mostly what I'm wondering is if there's anything I should do or change on the PC for it to perform well as a NAS other than purchasing HDDs and if there's any benefit to keeping the GPU on it.

Thanks.
