It's A Digital Disease!

Hello! I've been using a home setup with a 1 TB SSD and an older model WD Black 4 TB HDD for some time now. It's done a good job, but lately, I've been annoyed with the HDD's capabilities... It's fairly noisy despite being in a quieting enclosure, and the 4 TB capacity is pretty close to being filled up.

So, here are some considerations I have.

• The replacement absolutely must be 7200 RPM, and a similar performance. Applications regularly load from this drive so a 5400 RPM drive is not an option. No matter what, this has to hold true.
• A quieter drive without losing capacity would be very nice. I'd be alright swapping for something like a 4 TB Blue if it was comparable.
• Alternatively, a size upgrade would also be great. I've heard the Exos X18 16 TB is good and also pretty fast. How much worse would the noise be compared to the Black?
• If possible, a slight upgrade to both would be wonderful. Would an HGST He8 6TB be quieter, too?

Just trying to weigh my options, and any and all insights would be much appreciated!

I have a RaspberryPi with a 256Gb SD-card and a Desktop with 2x 16TB HDDs. I want to download stuff with the RaspberryPi overnight where i have the best speeds and then transfer it to my desktop.

I thought about creating a SMB share on my desktop and automatically move donwloaded files from the download directory to the mounted share. The problem is that my Desktop is not always turned on and i dont know how to auto-detect if it is online, mount it and start moving the file.

Is there an easy solution for this or maybe a better approach? Downloading directly with my PC is not an option due to heat, power consuptiom and noise.

I just got gallery-dl up and running and can't seem to figure out how to get it to save an image's tags to the image file. Ideally, I want to save images from pixiv and booru sites and be able to search my archive via a tag using XnView

I know image files have a "tag" value in details, I'm not sure if gallery-dl can write the tags to this field or if there's a better way to do it. I saw it has the capability to write the tag data for the image in a text file which doesn't seem very helpful to me.

For example

If I searched "Raiden" it should bring up these two pictures:

https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/118951558

https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/7563608

This is my config file for pixiv: (I've tried "original" and "translated" for tags and neither seemed to work)

"pixiv":
{
  "archive": "H:/Pics/gallery-dl/archive-pixiv.sqlite3",
  "directory": ["Pixiv", "Artists", "{rating}", "{user[id]}"],
  "refresh-token": "x",
  "include": "artworks",
  "embeds": false,
  "metadata": true,
  "metadata-bookmark": false,
  "tags": "translated",
  "ugoira": true,
  "skip": "abort:10",

  "favorite":
  {
    "directory": ["Pixiv", "Favorites", "{rating}", "{user[id]}"]
  },
  "bookmark":
  {
    "directory": ["Pixiv", "My Bookmarks", "{rating}", "{user[id]}"],
    "refresh-token": "x"
  },
  "postprocessors": [{
    "name": "ugoira",
    "ffmpeg-args": ["-c:v", "libvpx", "-crf", "4", "-b:v", "5000k"],
    "ffmpeg-twopass": true,
    "keep-files": false
  }]
},

I’m looking to build a DAS to add storage to my unraid server.

I’ve got an optiplex 5050 as the ‘server’ for now with an m2 drive, and 2 sata connection ports.

The plan is to get a pcie expansion card to add more sata ports to the optiplex and add drives as and when I need them.

What case would you use for this?

Or is my idea a bad one?

I currently have Proxmox on pc and i am using external drive directly attached to it. Ineed media storage, don’t really need all the features of NAS.

I’m looking at this as this was the cheapest option i could find that can hold 4 drives.

https://www.newegg.com/terramaster-f4-210/p/14P-006A-00028

Would this be good for my use case? Please help!

As title, I am currently using windows storage spaces, I am about to add a 3rd 18tb drive. My current situation, is my write speed with my two drives under my storage pool, is not getting the bandwidth it should have, i am getting read/write speeds of a single drive, not both.

It could be that I formatted one of the drives in the pool incorrectly, if that is a possible, and would limit my read/write speeds, could someone help me find out?

I really don't want to rebuild, I have about 20tb of data, it would be nice to retain 10tb of it, so maybe i could install the 3rd drive, move over 10tb worth of data from my pool, delete the pool, format the drives correctly, add the two drives back, copy the 10tb of data over. Then add the new drive to the pool?

Also, is this one of my problems? PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo i: NTFS Volume Serial Number : 0x2262944162941b9b NTFS Version : 3.1 LFS Version : 2.0 Total Sectors : 16,374,529,786 (61.0 TB) Total Clusters : 4,093,632,446 (61.0 TB) Free Clusters : 2,875,879,259 (42.9 TB) Total Reserved Clusters : 208,329 ( 3.2 GB) Reserved For Storage Reserve : 0 ( 0.0 KB) Bytes Per Sector : 4096 Bytes Per Physical Sector : 4096 Bytes Per Cluster : 16384 (16 KB) Bytes Per FileRecord Segment : 1024 Clusters Per FileRecord Segment : 0 Mft Valid Data Length : 57.75 MB Mft Start Lcn : 0x0000000000030000 Mft2 Start Lcn : 0x0000000000000001 Mft Zone Start : 0x0000000000030e60 Mft Zone End : 0x0000000000033220 MFT Zone Size : 143.00 MB Max Device Trim Extent Count : 4294967295 Max Device Trim Byte Count : 0xffffffff Max Volume Trim Extent Count : 62 Max Volume Trim Byte Count : 0xffffffff Resource Manager Identifier : 8128BA24-035B-11EF-956A-B0A4605FEF82 PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Bought a new Mac mini pro 512gb. Will be connecting an external 2tb-4tb Samsung t7 ssd which will hold about 900gb of family photos, some random office documents and music that I will keep connected always. (The photos are my biggest concern) I will also setup Time Machine on this ssd as well. I want to backup this ssd external drive with an external hdd WD black external ($119 for 5tb on sale $2tb is $80 so might get the 5tb). I will keep this off site. Would you recommend a 2nd WD black hdd that I connect to the Mac mini as another backup occasionally and keep at my home? I now have a 2010 iMac with 2tb (all photos are on that, no cloud backups anywhere) that has connected always an 11 year old 2tb WD hdd with Time Machine and another WD hdd offsite (so three backups). Will this setup work, is the hdd a good idea for off site storage. My 2 WD I have for 11 years still work but are slow so need to update for sure on the new Mac mini.

Like the title says, there are two videos, one which is privated and the other removed, that I want to just find out the title for. I have the URLs for both:

vid 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etVpNHFCgyA

vid 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOxTWPFk7wE&list=FLQ9T0QrZlteHmTfQCpTp1eQ&index=21

Again, i don't even need the original videos, just the title. I've tried Wayback Machine and no luck

Thanks!

I have many sets of client statements that run about 20 pages front and back and were trifolded into an envelope. I have an Epson 410 scanner and no matter how much I try to flatten these statements, it can never reliably feed one page at a time. It always ends up clumping several together throughout the scan, which has been frustrating.

So my question is, does anyone know of a scanner that does well in these kinds of circumstances? Thanks

Of course I see the ones on amazon, but they look sketchy. After hearing of disks being labeled as m-disc but not truly them, I am skeptical.

I've come into possession of several 12tb EXOS X18s drives with physical damage to the connectors due to poor placement and handling, I'm relatively sure that the disks are physically fine, I'd like to know whether it would cost less to have the drives repaired (either PCB swapped or new SATA data connectors) or just buy say manufacturer recertified 12tb and if anyone has recommendations for where to have it done in Canada preferably (I don't know how to solder so can't do it myself)

I've been using a Norco 4220 case for quite a while but I think it's time to replace the fans.

Behind the 20-bay HDDs are 4x Delta AFB0812H fans. They are loud, which is fine for now but it would be nice to get something quieter if I need to move the server.

There are also two empty rear fans (80mm) that I would like to populate.

I was thinking about buying 4x Artic P8 Max (HDD bays) and 2x Artic P8 PWM (rear case). Would this be a good choice or does anybody have any other recommendations?

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for some way to manage photos on my synology NAS.

I have thousands of photos and I'm looking for some way to actually manage them and also check for duplicates and similar photos.

Can you suggest me a good and possibly easy to use software to do that?

Over the last 18 months I've noticed about a tenfold increase in availability of STL files across different trackers. This makes me giddy. Not to mention the masses you can find using DChubs. I've downloaded close to 20tb of HiRes/HD 3d print file packs from DChub groups and users alone.

SOURCE #1

I've downloaded around 700gb of STL from RuTracker.net across a few dozen packs. This is a safe public tracker. This is one of the same trackers that m0nkrus releases all of his Adobe and Autodesk cracked apps through. They have free sign up. I've chcked every download from then and have never found any infections. You can sign up for free at their site. I've been using them for 4 years.

**But never take just my or anyones word for it and always check your own downloads for infections as well anyway

Here are links to the STL file pack torrents there

SOURCE #2

The next source is only available using DChubs so you'll only be able to acquire them if you use DChubs. Yeh i know i kind of just said the same thing twice. I've downloaded about 700gb of STL file packs from this one user on this group (posted below). Most of it if HiRes HD tabletop STL prints for RPG and tabletop gaming. The quality is phenominal, hence the file size.

Hublist: =BasicGames=

User: Dumnorix

SOURCE #3

Last source unfortunately is a private tracker, but some of you may be a member so I will share the info. Today i just batch downloaded every available STL file or file pack .torrent from one of my private trackers, IPtorrents. The total number or .torrent files available with STL files is 2,632. This includes Wicked's entire Marvel collection. I almost fainted no lie. I started downloading them a few minutes ago.

Private tracker : IPtorrents

Total STL File/Pack .torrents Available on site: 2,632

If you're a member there, just search a simple "Stl" into the search box and it will return 49 pages of search results.

So if you're into this and want at least a few TB of STL files check out these sources.

Yall have a good one! Bless!

Any other makers or 3D print enthusiasts here that have any other good sources for 3d print files?

Post in comments.

Since File History has gone to shit in Windows 11, I've been looking for a way to backup my C drive to my external hardrive. I heard of Veeam, but is it any good? Are all the backups kept locally/not held by the company itself?

EDIT: Tried it out. Unofrtunately, doesn't work for my harddrive since it is Exfat :(

I chose B2 because, although I might be able to save some money with glacier deep archive, AWS pricing is so confusing that I feel like I'm gonna fuck it up and owe them a ton of money. B2 was much easier to understand and say let's go.

Is AWS intentionally making it confusing or is that just how they are able to make it cheap in specific use cases? Am I just dense? B2 has been great so far but ultimately I'd rather be paying $0.6/TB/month than $6/TB/month for my offsite backups.

I'm also considering the "at a friend's house" solution. Maybe there are even co-lo facilities for this kinda thing that could be competitive in my area. I'm more curious about cloud solutions than guerilla solutions though, so please let me know if you have any insight.

TL;DR: most cost effective cloud solution for data hoarding is desired, do you have it?

Yesterday I saw some article about how magnetic tape was much cheaper per TB than hard disks (and you could drop them like SSDs, which is always nice), and this has made me consider if I should perhaps switch...

But its really hard to get any reliable info on the matter, which is why Im making this post.

1. Is magnetic tape actually cheaper? Some older reddit posts say that this is not the case (and indeed, the latest LTO tape is much more expensive per TB than a hard drive), but at the same time, random websites on the internet seem to pitch some wild prices, such as this one (or the same one from another site) (or the same one from amazon, wait wtf why are all the cheap ones the same model), which comes at about 6 bucks per terabyte of data. This is way better than even a used hard drive.
2. Are there any hidden costs or technical issues that one could expect? Or does it just behave like a hard drive but with much lower speeds? Do they wear out or are they expected to last more than hard drives? Is there any issue with buying used?
3. Is it even possible to encrypt this data (in particular with Veracrypt)? This is kind of a dealbreaker for me otherwise, as I greatly value data security.

I generally store lots of random data across many folders, in the form of a digital library. Generally books/films by category. Plus random family pictures and work documents here and there.

Speed is not much of a concern, nor is having the storage cold. My hard drives usually take all night to sync, then they stay disconnected until needed again.

hello, new here.

I’m a HUGE fan of this soundcloud artist 9TAILS. I’m looking into archiving him just in case and i’m aiming at OG files, so the wavs. I was hoping someome here could help me out or someone who has access to it. It’s a lot but i’m just a fan!

So I swapped my 2 bay synology drives from WD red to WD101EDBZ, an upgrade of 2tb on raid1. My WD red was running at cool 37°, new drive is at 45°. This is the newer model EDBZ, and not helium filled. Also, my nas warned me that this model drive is not on compatibility list… message received and ignored. I’ve had very good experience with Red drives, is +8° still considered reliable long run? I usually swap drives every 2-3 years.

Edit: second EDBZ drive with same firmware is running at 41°🤷‍♂️

Hi everyone !

I'm making a local backup of files I store on MEGA servers, using their MEGAsync software. But turns out after downloading 7 GB of data, it uploaded 350 MB, and it keeps growing.

I couldn't find any information about it. What does MEGA send when downloading ? Signatures and tracking files are no way that heavy !

I recently purchased an internal ssd and combined it with an enclosure to make it external ssd. Now on my personal M3 Pro Macbook the ssd just pauses, the light blinks on enclosure but no read or write. On BlackMagic the speed comes as 0. But after couple of minutes it starts writing at full speed. So basically it is 0 then 950 MBPS then again 0. Mostly its 0. But on my office Intel Mac it is constantly 950MBPS I don’t know what settings to change. Note the ssd is formatted to AFPS. Thanks
