Of course something like this could only be spawned in 2020.

My first thought; "Is that a license plate holder?". Bummer.

VINDMAN: No, it was bad and I do remember.




Sorry I have a lot of devices that I don't want to computer janitor all day every day and pi-hole is the easiest way to do it?

And I consider myself fairly willing to putup with CJ headaches. No, it's not the best way to do it but it sure as shit is a lot simpler than managing 15+ devices; and its not like it *hurts* from an ad blocking perspective, either.

RGB would be more interesting with 40 strands of it in wild knots around coolant tubing filled with different fluorescent dyes, pulsing to whatever music's on. But instead they put it around fans or whatever.

My sister's Synology DS916+ (4x8TB in RAID6) is reporting a degraded status with 1 disk failing. We had been planning on expanding her capacity soon anyways since her drives are nearing the 4 year mark. I was wondering whether it would be better to replace the failing disk with another 8TB one, and then after it's healthy again then we do the expansion with 12TB disks. Or is it possible to just replace the failing drive with a larger one since we are going to replace the other drives anyways?

My impression is that 8TB is still near the optimal $/TB but if you can find 12TBs with similar $/TB why not.

If you intend to upgrade now is the time. Swap it with the bigger disk and then you've finished upgrading that disk AND it isn't degraded anymore.

Yeah, but the OP wants to expand anyways with 12TBs across the board from the sounds of it. They should be able to just slam in a bigger drive and have it rebuild the array - although you won't realize any of the extra space until all drives are upgraded via the same method (rebuilding between each disk). That is my understanding at least - that was my plan to upgrade my 3TBx4 RAID5 array in my synology to 8 TBs - just swap the drives one at a time and rebuild the array between each.

Yup exactly. Not looking to move Synology with more bays right now, so we just wanna go from 4x8TB to 4x12TB.

Thanks guys!! Fuck I hope this forum doesn't die

Just in case, what is the lifeboat for the NAS thread? It's helped me tremendously for several years?

I'm not moving to reddit.

In other, surely absolutely shocking, news, the WDN0EFRX line that was quietly pulled from stores a few months ago, is one of the drives that's being reintroduced as ~guarenteed-to-be-CMR-Red~, despite the fact that Red Pro already exists.
No word yet on the premium it'll sell at, but I imagine it'll be even more worth it to shuck as a result of this.
