Hey yall I would like some help, I'm trying to find the cheapest way to get a DAS or NAS enclosure that is capable of running 200TB in RAID as one large disk. Anyone have any ideas? I have no experience with DAS or NAS or RAID whatsoever. Can you buy used solutions anywhere? thanks!

I recently bought a trio of manufacturer recertified (non-pro) Ironwolf 12tb ST12000VN0007 drives for around 480 USD around a month ago: I wanted 16tb drives, but the ones I was gonna buy sold out. My return period is almost up and before it is I'm trying to see if I can find manufacturer recertified 14tb or 16tb drives for not a ton more, like around 600 USD, or even just other 12tb drives that are more quiet or have better reliability rates, but I'm having trouble

I was gonna buy 3 16TB T16000NE000 's instead, especially for the space but also since they're rated for 300tb/year reliability vs 180 for the 12tb's, and I tink have around double the AFR, based on googling rather then the spec sheet like the other value?) but those either rose in price or I misread it, since now they'd be 720 USD, which is too steep a price for me to pay, I think (especially since my plan was to do RAID 1 with 2 drives I bought and use the third as a backup, then in a few months buy a 4th to do RAID 10 with and then a single huge drive as a backup, so I still have more purchases down the road), though I really worry my eventual 24tb array may not be enough long term space: It'll probably be fine for 5ish years, maybe longer, but I'd like this to last more then then (though 5 years is my warranty length anyways, so?)

I can't really find manufacturer recertified 14tb drives in general, and while Exos 16tb recertified drives are cheaper, like I could get ~~2x~~ (meant to say) 3x EXOS X16 ST16000NM001G 's for 630 USD, I hear (ha!) people say EXOS drives are very loud, which is a concern of mine: my NAS would be in my room and I'm concerned about the noise (maybe needlessly? I do have multiple laptops and cooling pads running nonstop and those rarely bug me)

It seems like the 2.8 bel (idle) and 3.2 bel (seeking) noise levels the 12tb Ironwolfs and the 16tb ironwolf pro drives I have/was considering is the same as what the EXOS is rated for: it's manual notes the same values for typical use and a slightly higher max.

If their manuals and spec sheets list the same noise levels, then the Exos and Ironwolfs should be as loud as each other, right? Is this actually not true in practice?

Also, general advice on if I should stick with the 12tb's or not: Are drive prices likely to come down enough in 5ish years that switching to higher capacity drives then won't be a problem? Or is it viable to incrementally switch out the 12tb ones with 16tb ones (I won't actually get more usable space with a RAID 10 or 6 array though untill they're all 16tb, right?)? Is the lower writes per year rating for the 12tb vs the 16 not actually a big deal?

Could you all give me some recommendations that are not crazy expensive.

Based on the storage sizes and such i have been looking at LTo 4 and higher.

This would be solely for use as another backup

The total amount of data that I have is about 15-25TB’s right now but I’m considering ripping all of my media (DVD’s, Blu-ray’s, CD) and that’s a few thousand disc.

I am a photographer and I am trying to transfer files from one of my SSD to my backup HDDs. While doing so, it always shuts down my Macbook. I also tried moving files from my HDD to my SDD and it crashes even faster.

My HDDs and SSD are plugged into my computer through my Anker USB-C hub.

I have 2 HDDs that I run mirrored. I always plug them in together.

What could be causing this? I'm really afraid of losing my photos!

Windows 11 mini pc

Ran wget with this entered

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent http://example.com/

Thats what i found online somewhere to use

The website i saved is speedhunters.com an EA owned car magazine site thats going away

It seems to completely work but only a handful of images are present on the webpages with >95% articles missing the photos.

Due to the way wget did its files theyre all firefox html files for each page so i cant look to see if i have a folder of the images somewhere that i can find yet.

Did i mess up the command prompt or is it based on website construction?

I initially tried with httack on my gaming computer but after 8 hours i decided to get a mini pc locally for 20 bucks instead to run it and save power and thats when i went to wget. But i noticed httrack was saving photos but i couldnt click website links to other pages though i may just need to let it run its course.

Is there something to fix in wget while i let httrack run its course too

edit comment reply on potential fix in case it gets deleted

You need to span hosts, just had this recently.

/u/wobblydee check the image domain and put it in the allowed domains list along with the main domain.

Edit to add, now that i'm back at computer - the command should be something like this, -H is span hosts, and then the domain list keeps it from grabbing the entire internet - img.example.com should be whatever domain the images are from:

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent -H --domains=img.example.com,example.com,www.example.com http://example.com/

yes you want example.com and www.example.com both probably.

oh edit 2 - didn't see you gave the real site - so the full command is:

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent -H --domains=s3.amazonaws.com,speedhunters.com,www.speedhunters.com www.speedhunters.com

A word of warning on using this service. Data can be silently dropped with GDrive.

About a year ago, I upload files to my paid Google drive. All seems fine, but I started noticing not all files are accounted for, (96 files in the folder when I uploaded 100). No errors. No warnings. No retries. I have since stopped using the mobile app as a reliable way to upload files and only used the service as a way to share files when needed.

Fast forward to today, I wanted to download a few folders to my computer. Selected 5 folders on my Gdrive and clicked download. Upon unzipping the folder, only 3 folders showed in the zip file. Again no errors. No warnings no retries nor any indication of something went wrong. WTF.

Unreliable garbage.

Yahoo recently drastically cut their email storage from 1tb to 20gb. I am far beyond the limits. What I would like to do is:

1. Periodically archive all emails offline
2. Periodically delete emails over a certain age from the server
3. Have a browser based app to search & view my email archive
4. Synchronize the email archive to some kind of other cloud based storage (e.g. Backblaze) for backup purposes

Ideally, I'd like this all to be run on my Linux server, using components deployed in Docker. I do not want to host a full fledged email server, if possible.

I've put the below together with the help of ChatGPT. I really dislike the need to host a mail server. However, netviel looks dead and doesn't have an official Docker container. What do you think of this setup? Has anyone attempted something similar?

| Component | Purpose | Tooling Options | |

|

|

| | 1. IMAP→Local Archive | One‑way sync from Yahoo IMAP into a local Maildir, preserving flags & folder structure. | imapsync | | 2. Off‑site Backup | Mirror the local Maildir to cloud storage (e.g. Backblaze B2) for redundancy. | rclone | | 3. Simple IMAP Server (optional) | Expose your archive as a single‑user IMAP endpoint for desktop mail clients (e.g. Thunderbird). | Dovecot - Configure to point at the mounted Maildir. | | 4. Webmail UI (IMAP‑client) | Full‑featured, browser‑based IMAP client to read/search your archive without desktop software. | Roundcube | | 5. Lightweight Web Viewer | Single‑user search UI directly over Maildir (no IMAP server required). | netviel or notmuch‑web |

All Mullvad servers, even the rented ones, are from the NO-LOGS Policy, who guarantees that the "Resellers/Renters" do not save the IP information and deliver it from a mandate?
