Hi all,

I am what you would call a frequent doctor visitor, due to the fact that I have a number of medical conditions that require very frequent checking of all sorts, especially blood work and even MRI or other ridiculously storage-taxing exam results.

What I have quickly found is that storing the lab results on paper becomes a nightmare because they quickly become a pile of indistinguishable folders stacked on top of each other, no matter how many times I’ve tried organizing them. In an attempt to digitize every lab work I’ve got, I have also quickly found that online drives are very limited storage-wise (especially since I need to store the scans in high-quality), to the point that I have to create a ton of different accounts or buy multiple storage expansions from the same service.

I have been questioning whether or not I should set up my own NAS or use any other storing method that would be easily accessible to my doctors, so I would like some beginners advice. Which storing method would be best in my scenario?

Thank y'all for any help!

I have a 2 Bay NAS (Synology DS223J) and 2 enterprise HDDs, 16 TB each. I am planning on moving out of the house i am in currently and i am going to travel to the new place by airplane.

Would the TSA x ray scanners effect my NAS or the HDDs?

Can Xrays corrupt sectors of HDDs or even stop them from working?

I plan to back up most my 700 GB of content to solid state memory, which is a lot more durable than an HDD.

. I would like to know what to expect taking some very expensive and sensitive equipment through TSA. I have TSA pre check, and would be able to keep my NAS in my bag. Even still, i would like to take my NAS or the HDDs and have them inspected without using Xrays.

So I have a bunch of files that are named;

"ABC Name - (yyyy-mm-dd) - Description"

I want to change them all to;

"yyyy-mm-dd - ABC Name - Description"

So taking the date from the middle to the start and remove the () brackets. Appreciate the help

As the title says my chuckleheaded brother used the wrong power supply for my old 250 GB Seagate Free Agent Desk external hard drive. A 19 volt 3 amp laptop power supply was used when it should have been a 12 volt 2 amp power supply. He plugged it in repeatedly to try to get it working with no luck. When I got the hard drive out of the housing and into a hard drive dock nothing happens at all no spin up, no noises, the light on the dock doesn't come on, nothing. My question is should I replace the PCB from an exact duplicate, or will that make the problem worse ? Should I send it off ? Outsource data recovery was suggested to me. I've read a few horror stories about them which makes me weary. From my understanding, it may just need a board replacement which is a lot cheaper than having the data recovered. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have pictures and videos from friends that have passed away on there. Thank you for your time.

Is there any performance differences between them? Or is it impossible to tell until you receive the device? I've heard that you don't truly know what you're getting in terms of hard drive, until you plug it in. Is this correct and would there be one that you would gravitate to between them both?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Edit: Found a very cheap New STKP14000402 that's kind of an offer I can't refuse, but i've heard the STKP14000400 is newer model-wise?

I want to save the file for my offline passwords extracted from KeePassXC and put it onto a USB flash driver with a small storage size because it doesn't need the extra storage since there's only 1 file and it's not going to be that big. I was going to encrypt the USB flash drive with Veracrypt but when researching this topic I realized from a Reddit comment that USB flash drives could fail and make it so my passwords can't be retrieved or accessed. I then found out about how I could replace the USB with a M.2 NVME SSD with an enclosure to protect it and an adapter for easy access when I want to open the file. All after encrypting the NVME storage device with Veracrypt.

My question is, should I go with a USB or M.2 NVME. And if either of those, which brand or model (with a relatively small storage size)

Extra:

I plan on using Bitwarden as my primary password manager and making backup exports to keepassxc. I also plan to move the keepassxc passwords into the external storage device, encrypt it, and leave it in a fireproof folder within a safe. I also plan to write all the primary risk passwords on paper and put it in the fireproof folder as well.

In 18 years of tech I have never built out my own box. So, despite my joyful expertise I am a kindergartner on this topic.

We're nursing an old OWC Callisto Jupiter and Kore. The Jupiter is 16x 4T I think, and the Kore is 16X 12T. The units are connected with a data cable. The mobo on the Jupiter is a Supermicro X9SRH-7F/7TF. The OS is TrueNAS CORE on an SSD connected to the board.

We're running out of resources. The processor is fine enough. We have plenty of RAM. But we're running into issues with the PCIe slots. They're PCIe 3. There are three of them. One of them is the RAID controller, one is a 2X SFP+, one is for the data connector for the units. There were two on-board 1G ethernet ports but they are busted. I cam make them work with a wedge, but... eh.

In an ideal world I would like to replace the mobo. The cases are fine. But we would like PCIe 4. We would like to do a 4x aggregate SFP+ fiber to the 40/100G switch. I would like a 2x aggregate SFP+ to the other network. We also want to do a couple of other things.

How difficult is it to do what I want? In my plan I would use the same OS drive and the same RAID controller. I would get a new mobo/CPU with the same form factor, get the cards I want, do the repair and turn it on without issue.

Is this stupid?

I'm looking for a non-RAID software which mirroring one watched drive to another identical drive, while maintaining file and folder structure. I don't like that you can drop a storage pool with one click from the Control Panel...

At least in Disk Management RAID 1 option, you really have to fck up some option to screw up your data. The problem: write speed is horrible (also heard about the resyncing issue).

I also don't like in Storage Pool that if I pull the drive out and put it in another machine, the data is hidden (needs clarification). It is formatted with NTFS, I expect my data not hold hostage.

I want this not for backup, it is for future hard drive failure and data loss prevention.

Thank You!

I am a noob with linux and not that good with computers btw. I loaded ubuntu on a usb, followed a video guide on using ddrescue and successfully made an image of my dying 3tb drive on my new 10tb drive. volume showed up in 'other locations' in ubuntu which it doesnt in the guide. I cant see files or folder when I boot windows or ubuntu again, but the brand new 10tb shows 3tb is used but cant see any files!.. No idea what noob mistake I made, Thank you.

Does anyone know why GHD's ebay listings are ~$10-$25 cheaper than buying direct?

Considering ebay takes a 10% fee, and Shopify only charges 3% for low volume merchants, this seems backwards.

• Ebay - USD $87.50 https://www.ebay.com/itm/166904308673
• Direct - USD $99.99 https://www.goharddrive.com/MDD-12TB-7200RPM-3-5-NAS-Hard-Drive-p/g01-1488-mdd.htm

I've been bit by the data hoarder bug. I'm trying to gather as much data from my life as possible. Now I'm currently in the process of trying to recover most, if not all data from all my hard drives from the years. Even recovering data that's not accessible. Besides pictures, videos, txt documents, and music, what else should I save that contains data that might be important, nice to have, or can help me visualize my life from over 10 years ago.

Does anyone have any tips for recovering data, and what files i should keep? Not worried about how much data I will take up, just want to save anything I can. Not expecting to recovering much of anything, but anything is better than nothing.

There was an RSS workaround that was posted here about five or six years ago, but that method is no longer supported or no longer works? I'm hoping for some kind of work around.

I've done what I can with the Way Back Machine. What's maddening is that I know the images are still there on the tumblr servers. Trying to see if I could access a larger version of the images via archive.org, I inspected the code of the page and suddenly I was seeing the same image with a tumblr url: https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwqxwhYKAi1qzg5rgo1_500.jpg HUZZAH! However this only worked the once, as now every time I try, I get the tumblr error page: "Service is temporarily unavailable. Our engineers are working quickly to resolve the issue. We're sorry."

Does tumblr resurrect data for people with a dead loved one? What exactly is the point of killing off old blogs if they keep the servers clogged with old image files? Fuck, at this point I'd pay tumblr for access, if that were an option.

Thanks.

i usually put my games in rar files and let them be until i feel like playing them again and then i extract and install them but idk which HDD should i use.

how about samsung or toshiba?

is WD good? if yes which color last longer than others? i have a 2TB green one but i need more! i want to buy a 4tb one and transfer everything on it and use the 2tb one as a backup is this a good idea?

Working with FreeFileSync and had some questions on settings and what they do. Up on the compare button, you can select name and date change or file content detection. On a mirror copy job for backups, which one of these would be more accurate and faster, or if one more accurate, but slower etc?

There is also a user database file to detect file changes. I assume that this is the fastest option, and when you click mirror for a backup, does not have to comb through the files looking for changes, and then copy? Seems like that database file could get tricky to maintain and if it gets out of sync, then there's a potential to loose files. Would not using the database files, with the file compare checks before the copy, be a more reliable method?

been almost a week, i dropped off the drive manually at location, is this common?

So my Corsair RM750x came with a grand total of three 6 pin to 3x SATA power cables. So I can plug in 9 drives if you do the math, except two SSD's are mounted on the back of the mobo, and so the third power connector on that one is inaccessible. I have room for more drives and I intend to use it.

Do I buy something like this? Is it safe? Will my PC and my hard drives blow up and burn down my house? Any limitations that I need to be aware of?

Don't feel odd anymore when I started a few years ago just backing up my old Windows profiles for nostalgia. This place then intruded me to the joys of yt-dlp. I then did some YouTube vids for it, the only vids on my channel that got decent views. Sadly that has now stopped because the lovely arses at YouTube have flagged them as against their T&C. But we have Odysee so they are there now.

Anyway, the main point. Discovered this

That has a treasure trove of some forgotten UK comedy that is no longer streamed anywhere. May or may not be of interest to some.

Hi, I've found archive.today and its mirror sites (.ph, .is, etc.) have been down for a few days, despite that the following sites say that it's up: https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/archive.is.html and https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/archive.today

No post on their twitter at https://x.com/archiveis since 25 March. Landing on the page displays the below message. This is the longest outage I've experienced in the past year, though I can find posts online of people also referring to a few days. Are others able to access it? Since it's supposed to be a one man operation, I guess no one (else) will know what's up. It would be a tragedy if it disappeared entirely.

Looking online it shows that the only 1.5 TB SD cards you can buy is the MTSD1T5ANC8MS-1WT Micron 1.5TB and that's £400 and the news is recent. Surely this from Western Digital is real?

I would never buy from amazon as they are all fake.

Hi there!

I have been hoarding movies and TV shows for a long time, got a 8TB SSD and filled 3TB of it already full of movies. On that SSD, the directory structure I used was language first, then it's just a dump of any movie or TV show I find (foldered in case of multiple episodes or subtitle files)

Now I'm hoarding my songs, which are just a duplicate of my Spotify account's most important stuff. Here is the directory structure (Actual directory structure) (Ignore sync-file, that's just there for spotdl to download properly)

├── 1 - Saved Songs
│   └── sync-file
├── Albums
│   ├── SPD GAR
│   ├── SPD GAR 2
│   ├── SPD GAR 3
│   └── ULTRAPANIC
├── Artists
│   ├── BIN
│   ├── Gen Hoshino
│   ├── INABAKUMORI
│   └── natori
└── Playlists
    ├── daylist・Spotify
    ├── My Lofiz
    ├── Racing Mix
    └── Safe Songs

However, here is the trouble I am facing

1. Some playlists like daylist, Racing Mix and Safe songs have the same songs (so Song A is in both daylist and Racing mix, as an example)
2. Many songs in all of the playlists exist in Saved Songs
3. Artists too have duplicate songs literally everywhere

Right now my solution is to boot up Oto music (it scans all the files) and sort by alphabet, then go one by one checking for each and every song and seeing if it has a duplicate. If it does, then delete either one and add the other to a playlist. The problem with this method is that if I ever add songs to any playlist, the deleted ones also get re-downloaded and I have to sort though several hundreds of music files again, which can take ages.

So, what is the best way to solve this duplication problem? What kind of directory structure works best? What's the best long term solution that doesn't cause headaches down the line? (Sorting through 600+ songs is not easy!)
