Yeah man back when Walmart was clearancing out those PNY 512GB USB SSDs I put like 12 of them into a software RAID0.
One of them promptly failed after trying to run CrystalDiskMark for a second time and I tossed them all in a drawer where they rest to this day
I have a DL360 G10. Same server but 1U.
The server is quiet as hell already. I have it in my basement though, but honestly I don't notice it next to my R720s.
My power draw right now is 119W. I have 6 SSDs and 12 DIMMs, with 12 VMs currently on it.
I use eBay exclusively tbh
After all of this, how would someone be able to break in via the DSM login?
You trust Synology that much? Yikes
Google Photos. We pay for 2TB and have all the family member slots loaded up. It's perfect because my parents and my in-laws all use Android phones.
MakeMKV. Don't re-encode them.
