(Quote) It is my understanding they put crappy drives - and apparently disk health checkup tools can't figure out any problems when such an external setup drive is used. The normal drives placed in a rack can be checked periodically - if no other w…

(Quote) Sure - will do. Though the private parts will only be available on my Only Fans account. :)

(Quote) Hopefully, this evening I'll get the products and give them a test ASAP (now I only have two copies of the important stuff, since my second external drive died suddenly - so I'll need to make a new copy in order to sleep at night LOL ). It …

(Quote) Yes, normal "internal" drive. I have a 12 TB one in my PC, and ordered a backup to keep at my work place for a second backup copy (edited the first comment with the product links).

(Quote) What I did is get a HDD rack (external) and buy a normal, 3.5" HDD (Seagate Ironwolf Pro) to plug it into. External drives use crappy hardware and can just die without any prior warning (bad sectors or other problems - even HDD Sentine…

Edited out the offer that was over the $7 limit. (Image)

(Quote) None whatsoever. If it gets the job done - great.

I've edited-out the double-bandwidth/storage/whatever stuff. Next time I see such offers, I'll just delete the whole offer. DM/PM is fine. Provider's support portal ticket is fine. But no encouraging of posts just to get bonuses/benefits, as it is …

(Quote) Opinions are divided. This is the relevant discussion (and vote results) that preceeded the rules change.

(Quote) It is the spirit of the times. I see more and more such managers.

(Quote) I’ve edited out that from the offer and moved all the spam/order id posts to the bin.

(Quote) Briefly put: Providers: Don't encourage spam, i.e. require customers to post a comment in order to get benefits ("double bandwidth" and similar stuff). Customers: don't spam the offer threads. Use them to post questions related to…

I've removed the double bandwidth bullshit - and I recommend any tests or reviews to be posted in separte thread(s).

(Quote) That is my impression too. Raspberry Pi makes sense for controllers and similar things where low power consumption and compact size are more important.
-
If it helps anyone - I got a 12 TB Seagate IronWolf Pro (my German - Amazon.de affiliate link) for about $270. The picture says "Pro", the description doesn't, but I got the Pro allright. Passed all the stress tests, and has been working …

At this point, after having checked out the prices of mini PCs and touch-screen large screens, we are considering going down that route (with a couple of thousand $ for a screen, saving $100 on the "computer"/computer won't make much of a …

(Quote) Double opt in is a good idea regardless of the stubid GDPR. Having said that, it makes more sense for newsletter subscriptions and similar. For a contact form, it is more important to provide good spam & bot protection. WPforms works n…
