Does Web Archive have repos for their Collections? Trying to to get the underlying data and documents from these two links in particular, but interested in a lot of the Collections datasets.

So it's almost time to get a new NAS. I have a DS 223, with 2x4TB. It's been 8 years, and one drive is in critical condition. I've been casually reading up on the world of NAS again and see that there are so many other brands. The ones that I currently know of are Synology, QNAP, Asustor, and UGreen. I come from a tech background, so not a tech dummy, but not a sys admin guru either.

What NAS brand (ones mentioned above or any other) do you recommend if the following are my criteria in order of priority:

-reliability: this is a must-have, will be using disk mirroring with two drives

-remote login: can access and configure system

-nice UI: meaning, I don't want to configure stuff by typing in commands

-basic features: auto backup, file sharing, user creation

-other features: download station, notifications of issues/status

-extra storage: can plug in extra drives to increase storage space

-easy to use and configure: minimal learning curve to setup stuff because the UI is intuitive

-DLNA: not sure if that's what it's called, but basically, able to access movies and music from the drive with other devices

-VM: able to run Windows via a tablet

-Power efficient: since this will be on 24/7

-Price: this is not that important as the hardware will be used for at least 8 years

Hello, I'm writing on behalf of a dear friend of mine who has a significant collection of early CD-Rom technology (discs, equipment, documents).

He's the founder of a tech company and was a pioneer in the U.S. adoption of CD Rom tech. (He once hosted a TV show about the then-emerging technology.) He's amassed a good collection of items and is now hoping to find an institution/library/ tech archive that would make good use of these items. He's located in the Southeast. If anyone has a valid suggestion, please send me a DM.

Hi! I'm converting my old Hi8 to mp4 but the magnetic film constantly breaks. Is there any way to avoid this? Thanks

Hi all.

I posted this in r/HomeServer, but I think here would also be a good place to ask about upgrading the storage on my little home server. I'm new to this, so I thank you for your patience.

I'm running a Lenovo ThinkCentre with no additional space for drives, I want to keep it pretty low budget as im not a heavy user, I would appreciate opinions on options such as this DAS with raid.

I'm sure it's not the best option, so I would appreciate any thoughts on that's specific device given the specs and any budget friendly alternatives around that same price range but under the £200/$250.

Thank you.

Much appreciated.

What’s the view of the impact of US tariffs on HDDs? With a great number of HDDs being made in Asia prices in the US are set to increase a lot.

is there an opportunity here for non-US countries to get a good deal on stock that won’t be picked up by the US?

UK-based data hoarders here with his fingers crossed…

I’m looking to get a 10TB+ external hard drive for my PC. I’ve looked several places but honestly I don’t know what I’m doing. The best bang for your buck I’ve seen so far is Seagate’s drives at bestbuy, they have like an 18TB one for $200. Seems like a fairly good price? Let me know what you guys think or if you have any good suggestions.

As long as it has a speed that isn’t abysmal I don’t really care about speed.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm writing to LTO using tar and mbuffer, but even with mbuffer I'm noticing the tape slows and speeds up, though it doesn't come to a stop and wait, stop/start is shoe shining right? Will slowing down and speeding up again be ok?

This is probably to do with the file sizes and buffer sizes. I've allocated 6gb for mbuffer, copying from a SATA drive, going to an LTO drive on an SAS card.

I'm wondering if it would help with speed if I try ditching mbuffer and/or putting the SATA drive onto the SAS card?

Thanks.

Hi, I’m a long time user of Stablebit Drivepool (and Drivebender before that) which I chose simply because I could add disks of varying sizes I had laying around or could buy in high capacity cheaply occasionally to top up the system or replace failing drives. I really like this idea so built myself an HBA attached enclosure to house 12x 3.5” spinning drives and squeezed a few more onto the motherboard sata connectors of the PC I dedicated to being the storage server.

I decided against using MS storage spaces because I read so many bad experiences from users it kinda put me off.

I would like to know if there is a better solution out there these days that can still accept random sized drives as I like to use them until they literally die (my drive pool is entirely duplicated for this reason) . Drivebender and Drivepool always feel a little bit clunky and slow connecting and using for my video edit pc over my direct network connection (10Gbe Mellonox cards) compared to local drives and I would also really like to increase the speed by adding some SSD’s as cache drives for read and write if that’s even possible and/or a benefit. I’ve read that caches drives aren’t very well implemented in Drivepool and only work for writing.

So is there anything else out there I should consider taking into account my requirements or should I just continue to plod along with Drivepool

Thanks 👍🏻

Hi guys, im looking for a way to download the whole website (just homepage is fine) given url programmatically.

I know I can open website right click save page as, and everything gonna be store locally. But i want to do that with programming.

I dont need fancy speed, so if there is existing tool use with CLI, it would fine to me.

I was thinking about download it via web.archive.org too (i dont need that up-to-date content). I hope that there are tools for that?

Do you have any hunch how im going with this?

Thank.

(i have proxy/vpn to avoid blocking)

So, a site called ShareCG is going down very soon. Which, if you're not familiar the site's notable for having a lot of free 3d models and assets, especially for DAZ Studio and Poser, and it disappearing means that a lot of stuff could become permanently lost. This is, of course, inadvisable.

So, I'm wondering, anyone here making any efforts to archive them? Or, any interest in starting any?

I'd presume that putting a lot of the stuff up on the Internet Archive to keep it circulating might violate some of the legal terms, but like, I think that's probably preferable to it being lost forever, IDK.

I myself am currently manually downloading stuff from notable creators (Because I don't know much about how to use scripts to do it and I only have one 2TB SSD) ideally for potential future distribution, but it's slow going because, well, I'm doing it manually, so...

I know there are a lot of listings on places like Amazon, but a lot of them are either no-name brands and/or random 3rd party sellers from China selling what they claim are name brands... also a lot of those are PNY which I have had many many issues with in the past.

Any places or listings one can recommend of decent ones? I don't need them to be fast, or even big, I just need a bunch of reliable ones to give to others.

I was wondering what the problem could be. for small files it works fine, for large files around 1 gb it hangs when copying files from the box. Tried on 4 computers but same problem.

Hi,

TL:DR; Looking for relatively cheap 6-8 bay altrnatives to UPRO-Nas that would give better storage flexibility and 10gbe ethernet. Rack mount is a plus.

Looking for something similar to a UNAS-Pro - a fairly simple, relatively cheap NAS with 10gbe ethernet. Bigest drawback of the UNAS-Pro is lack of configurability of storage/storage pools. I have 4x 10tb drives and 4x 8tb drives, which is enough for what I want to store. I would rather run 2 pools with the flexibility to have more redundancy for important files on one pool, and more space in the other pool for Linux ISOs and other files which I could afford to lose.

I do have a "NAS motherboard", which would be well suited for TrueNAS/Unraid, but it is also a fairly powerful board which I would rather dedicate to compute workloads, rather than running compute + nas on the same hardware. I would like to run proxmox to host different compute options, and running TrueNAS/Unraid as a VM within the proxmox host has some undesirable limitations.

I started a new job as a nurse in an emergency department and I want to keep track of some metrics. Right now I think chief complaint, iv started, age, gender. (Open to others)

What would be the best way to keep track of all of this? Simply use an excel spreadsheet?

Original Title: looking for an hdd enclosure of 4 / 5 drives or 2/3 x2 that makes the least noise possible from fans and even hdd vibrations, and if possible, doesn't auto-spin down the drives or let me configure it.

Hi

I am looking for an external hdd enclosure, I would like to use it with 3 drives at least, but possibly 4/5 in the future, so I think it would be better a 4 / 5 hdd enclosure? Or maybe a 2/3 drives and buy 2/3 of them?

I would really love if the enclosure makes the least noise possible, that includes the sounds of the hdd's vibrations and spins. I tried to just putting them inside the computer case, but the noise they make it's making me go insane, so I just want to put them in an external case 3 meters away from me and connect them through a long usb.

and also, if possible, that the enclosure don't spin down my drives if I don't want it or have in windows selected to not do it. I think this will be impossible, but well, it is what it is.

I don't look for a nas, just the cheapest external enclosure with those features.

I've seen a lot of brands like orico, fantech, terramaster, sabrent, but after losing hours trying to find specs or opinions, I ended even more confused than before.

It will be used for torrenting / watching media when I'm on the computer, don't need to run it while I'm not, just that.

I have 2 NAS's at home, both running Core. Really have no issues to speak of, everything just works

I plan to stay on Core until I can't. What are you doing?
