I need a 10Gbps DAS for my desktop. I will use software RAID on macOS.

How does Cenmate 806TC-10G fair against TerraMaster D6-320? What are your recommendations? Any other model?

TerraMaster D6-320 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZHSK29B

Cenmate 806TC-10G https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DD3LY76W

Cenmate replied that CENMATE-806TC-10G uses these chips: ASM235CM and VL822.

• ASM235CM https://www.asmedia.com.tw/product/767Yq28sxFYMEgu4/3AbyQ83xZAUr3qW5
• ⁠VL822 https://www.via-labs.com/product_show.php?id=99

I've read a lot of comments about avoiding JMicron's SATA to USB chips. In that light, will Cenmate 806TC-10G with ASM235CM be a good choice?

TerraMaster D8 Hybrid looks almost ideal. But I prefer more HDD bays, metal chassis and vertical design.

I'm new to this, and i thought about it, if i have a 2tb backup, is there any app to keep the website backups up to date or do i need to manually add all the new posts? Im saying this because deleting and redownloading every week 2tb is too much

Hey hoarders,

If, like me, you prefer local, compressed backups, check out our new app - MultiDrive.

Here are some of its benefits that you may like:

• Back up drives to standard ZIP or RAW files, and restores an image from a ZIP/RAW on the fly
• Wipe disks before recycling
• Clone drives or partitions
• Support for failing drives that have read errors
• Run multiple parallel jobs, working offline
• Pause/resume any job

Last but not least, there is a CLI app for automation and scripting.

Examples:

mdcli list                         # Shows connected drives

mdcli backup d2 d:\image.zip       # Backs up the 2nd shown drive

mdcli erase d3 --pattern FF    # Erases the 3rd drive with 0xFF pattern

Instead of Short IDs (d1, d2, d3), one can use classic Windows System IDs (SCSI\DISK&VEN_NVME&PROD_SAMSUNG_SSD_970\4&5BC748F&0&020000)

I would love to hear your thoughts on MultiDrive if you have tested it or are thinking of trying it.

Hello,

I have a chance to get some SAS SSDs (2-4) for a relatively cheap price. Specifically:

HPE 7.68TB SAS RI SFF BC VS MV SSD

I don’t have a server or even a desktop PC. I currently only use a ThinkPad P1. I do plan to build a desktop PC or a “NAS”.

My primary needs are running multiple virtual machines at once and data hoarding.

What hardware would I need to be able to utilize the SAS SSDs?

As I understand:

• SATA is a subset of SAS
• SAS will not work with a SATA controller, but the opposite is possible
• to use it on a “regular” PC, I will need to use a PCI slot

I read that the issue with SAS is noise and heat. I assume that was directed at SAS HDDs and not SSDs. What are the expected issues for the SSD variant?

How much more expensive would it be to use the SAS SSDs instead of just getting SATA? Keep in mind that I do not currently live in the US, and the second hand market where I am is more limited. If I ship from the US, it will have to be relatively small, not too heavy items.

It's been a while since Macrium Reflect released their newest "Reflect X" version and switched over to a subscription model. I still use the previous 8.1 version with a perpetual license, as I'm just not a fan of paying a subscription for backup software.

I can continue using 8.1 until it stops working on my system, but I'd rather be proactive and look for an alternative (if any) that is comparable to Macrium but without a subscription. It doesn't have to be a free alternative — I'm fine with a one-time payment for a license if they offer a premium version — and was wondering if anyone (particularly ex-Macrium users who are/were in the same boat) had any good recommendations.

One criteria from a privacy perspective is that I want to avoid Chinese/Russian-based companies because I don't feel comfortable using their software to backup a full image of my entire system that may contain sensitive and personal information. So tools like EaseUS ToDo Backup and AOMEI Backupper are unfortunately out of the question.

Based on my findings, these are some viable alternatives that I keep seeing mentioned:

• Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows (free)
• Hasleo Backup Suite (free)
• O&O DiskImage 21 (premium)

I'm particularly interested to hear from ex-Macrium users who switched to another tool since they introduced subscriptions. Which tool are you now using and why? Is it as good (or better) than Macrium?

Two years ago, while prepping my portfolio for grad school, my Google Drive got locked just days before the deadline. I couldn’t access any files. It was a total nightmare.

I used the DXP4800p with my roommate during my Master time and it worked really well for me. Now that I’ve joined a small studio, thinking about upgrading to something bigger.

Would love to hear if others have made the jump and what their experience has been!

I just want to share my achievement here. I started a project to study mathematics to help up childrens in my city and, in order to start this project (not really start, I have already started it, this is not that famous case of “preparation” that is procrastination) I decided to build up a collection of books, exercises and everything else. Of course, just like any DataHoarder, I went a bit too far, downloading books of Higher Mathematics, Physics, Portuguese (my native language) and everything else. Anyway, I'm a NEET and I spent about 5 to 6 days in this non-stop job of hunting down pdfs, exercises, digging into Internet depths and seeking out guides, charts and everything else, but it all worked out, after a week I finally have my collection, all organized and sorted, and now all that's still left to do is backup it physically, put it in the cloud and all that boring paperwork. I know there's no big deal , but working on storing data for a week isn't a bed of roses, it's very boring, I had to miss out my neet hobbies.
