HM-SMR (Host Managed-SMR) that requires specialized hardware and software

So the history made full circle right to ST interface times.

Will wait until they invent IDE concept again.

Toshiba P300

Is a nice drive to store stuff on, it’s cold and quiet, but it is a nightmare to write stuff on.

Write speed starts on optimistic > 100 MB/s, and gradually drops to 25 MB/s on long (hundreds of GBs) writes.

can I remove the beep speaker from apc easy ups?

Just cover its hole with some sticker/duct tape, this can almost completely mute it.

Server (Ryzen + 3 HDDs + 2 SSDs) - 50W

Networking (USG + Unifi AP + Mi router as a second AP + switch) - 20W, maybe a bit less

70W in total

“rent my roof” for a new wireless start up in my area.

Looks suspicious already

they are installing an antenna on my roof and it will be hardwired to my router…

It smells not very good

.they have assured me that my personal network would be at no risk

If they are wired their access point (I suppose this “antenna” is one) to a LAN port of your router, I am suspecting you are exposing all your network to the wireless network this access point creates.

I am using it for media server, Ubiquiti controller, torrents, sync and local http server.

Simply because it is a nice and simple front-end for Docker.
