Just bought my first big drive And aim to build a das raid or raid like thing How should I go about it? Different drive sizes and speeds (just in case I couldn’t get the same ones)

I have three 4TB drives and I need some redundancy for data protection. However while researching the topic I found out many people avoid RAID5 due to very long rebuild time ("your second drive will fail before rebuild finishes").

But the estimate numbers I found online contradict this, sort of, stating that rebuild time for RAID5 usually ranges from 24 to 36 hours. How is that possible that the two drives fail in a single day? Has anyone ever lost data to this scenario or this is just a hypothetical boogieman?

Drives are expensive where I live.

Pinterest is full of amazing content, design inspiration, DIY ideas, recipes, and mood boards, but it’s surprisingly annoying when trying to save videos or specific images. There’s no download button for most pins, especially videos or idea pins.

A super handy tool for this is Pinsaver.io. It’s a free website that lets you download:

  • Videos (including idea pins and motion pins)
  • High-resolution images
  • GIFs and animated pins
  • Reels

No need to create an account or install anything. Just copy the Pinterest pin link, paste it on the site, and hit download. It works on both desktop and mobile browsers, and supports most public content types from Pinterest.

Useful for building offline reference folders, sharing pins outside of Pinterest, or saving ideas to use in other apps. It also preserves the original quality, so no blurry downloads like with screenshots.

There are probably other tools floating around, too, but this one’s clean and works reliably.

As a data hoarder, I’m considering colocation for my growing collection of hard drives to ensure reliable power and connectivity without turning my home into a server room. I found a guide on Colocation Hosting Cost from ServerMania, which says pricing starts at $79/month for a single server and goes up to $599/month for a full 42U rack, depending on rack units, power, and bandwidth. For my 4U storage server, this seems like a solid option to get climate control and 24/7 security without the hassle of managing power or cooling at home. The guide also mentions remote hands fees for physical maintenance, which could add up. Has anyone here colocated their storage servers? How do you find the colocation hosting cost compared to running servers at home, and any tips for keeping expenses low while maximizing uptime?

Like many of you, I’ve wrestled with ways to download Patreon videos and audio for offline use—stuff like tutorials or podcasts for commutes (e.g., this post https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/xhjmw3/how_to_download_patreon_videos). Tools like yt-dlp (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) are awesome but a pain for non-coders due to command-line setup. So, I built Patreon Media Downloader, a Chrome extension for downloading your subscribed Patreon content with a single click.

It’s super straightforward: install it, open a Patreon post that you are subscribed to, and click to save media. No terminal, no config files. It hooks into Patreon’s website and handles media you’re subscribed to. For those interested, you can check it out on the Chrome Web Store (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bmfmjdlgobnhohmdffihjneaakojlomh).

As a solo dev, I built this to simplify hoarding Patreon content for myself and others, especially for non-techy folks who want an easy solution. I’d love your feedback—bugs, feature ideas, or any thoughts are welcome!

Hi everyone,

lately I'm buying a lot of comics from humble bundle. Now I wonder how I should manage the files, and if it's worth set up something like komga to interact with them. I also a lot of manga. I'll try to dived the post in 2 main topics: manga and comics.

  • Comics, the easy part:

Comics are all PDF or EPUB, even the longest series is made by few comics.

  • Manga, the real nightmare:
  1. They're images of the single page, zip with images, pdf and epub
  2. Some of them has a folder/file for every chapter, some of them has a folder for every volume and some has volume/chapter file-folder
  3. They're both in english and italian

The biggest issue is the file managemente: there is anything that I can use to automatically move and rename files based on metadata? Calibre may be suited to for comics, but for manga I don't know if there is any way to do it automatically.

Then there are the manga

Hi people!

I managed to use a Terramaster D4-320 to make an external RAID with Windows Storage Spaces. It is a RAID 5 with 4x 8TB WD Blue HDD. The speeds are okay and when it's on I can work smoothly with it to edit video.

The problem I have is when I try to edit the speeds work for a few minutes and they stop. I need to manually turn them on by moving my timeline and wait like a minute or try to open a folder from the RAID.

Is there a way to mantain them spinning and on?

What I tried now:

Power options - Advanced settings

Hard disks never turn off

USB selective suspend settings disabled

Device Manager

USB Power management - Allow to this computer to turn off this device to save power: Disabled

And nothings, still turns off disks after few minutes (1 minute I would say)

Thank you!
