I plan to replace disks in my current home NAS which uses mdadm RAID1 + LUKS.

I am looking at MG10 disks. Specifically MG10ACA20TA or MG10ACA20TE. Both are CMR. The A one has 4k native sectors. The E one has 512b emulated sectores.

I am not sure what difference this makes in 2025? I suppose everything should be able to use 4k now so 4k native should be fine. However, I am not sure if 512 would cause any noticeable overhead...

Part of me wants to just go with the 4K. But MG10ACA20TA is not in stock anywhere local. MG10ACA20TE is in stock everywhere.

Price is approx. the same.

Do you see any drawbacks from one vs the other?

Hello, I ask myself a lot of questions concerning media storage, I never used a NAS or DAS.

I have like 6-8 tb of videos atm on NVME inside my PC and on an external hard drive I barely use.

I originally wanted to put some hard drives in my pc but it was too loud and I couldn’t manage to put the disk at sleep, dunno why (Seagate barracuda).

I never used plex or anything, only my PC. I have both PC in network together so I can watch movies stocked on my main PC with my laptop.

I originally thought about getting a NAS in raid 1 but it’s expensive and I’m worried about the nose and the risk always running for nothing. So I thought maybe a DAS in raid 1 with disk out asleep like 10 min after usage, I thought about the Orico 2Big with 2 12tb Seagate Ironwolf for less noise and the possibility to put them asleep.

What do you think about that ? Do I really need a Raid 1 ? Should I just get another NVME ? I’m kinda lost here…

Than you in advance.

Over the past years, I've accumulated a large archive of images I've taken while visiting exhibitions and museums (over 70gb, more than 12.500 pictures).

Sometimes, I'm looking for images of shows that I couldn't visit, but it's sometimes hard to come by, especially outside of catalogues (or when one isn't made).

To help people out in my situation, I want to share my archive on a free hosting website. So far, I've found Internet Archive to be the best at doing so, but they don't offer a gallery view per exhibition, so it's a bit hard to navigate.

Anyone have any better ideas?

I am looking to build my first NAS.

Any pros and cons for the above drives? Shop says Toshiba are Bulk version (MN10ADA600S)

Seagate in a email they said they are retail but the price is more in line with oem.

I usually use WD Mech drives and had mixed experiences with Seagate and their cust service.

Any info/opinion will be appreciated.

Setup will probably consists of 3 drives (2+1). I have not decided about raid or NAS OS.

Most of the files I leach/seed work normally. But a couple fail to download altogether. So I look at Properties and Trackers and I see that it systematically fails to connect to tracker.

This is odd, as all the other files connect to the trackers.

I'm using Transmission software and a VPN.

As Apple is so fucking restrictive on the system ios (especially with IPhones and IPads), you can’t download any torrent without going through side loading stuff or jail breaking your entire device, which lets be honest, is just too much work to do so.

Found this list through the FMHY page. Works like magic and is simple enough for anyone. Special mention to webtor.io as they have no restrictions on the file size lol.
