Everyone would say that the Venture X would compliment the Savor One quite nicely. The annual fee of $395 is the only deterrent and the ecosystem for the points are best utilized for travel at that point.

The annual fee is negated by the $300 travel credit when booking on the portal and the 10k annual points given on your anniversary date.

I was an AirVPN user for a number of years until Mullvad came around. I switched to Mullvad and stuck with them for a few years. However, now that Mullvad has gotten rid of port forwarding, I have since moved back to AirVPN.

The performance has been solid with all the servers I have used, even with multiple tunnels open. My only complaint is that the IPs on the servers I use are unfortunately blacklisted on quite a number of sites. Other than that, I am satisfied.

Same here! The SNES was my first-ever console, but my parents got it for me when I was extremely young, and it was in its twilight years with the N64 right around the corner. I love RPGs as a genre, so this will definitely be a buy for me.

Given that Paper Mario originated from the original Super Mario RPG formula (and I loved Paper Mario up until Super Paper Mario), I can’t wait for this. I had never considered playing the original SNES version, but this changes a lot for me. I will definitely consider getting this!

I bet that is extremely fun! I can’t get into VR myself but one of these days, I’ll invest in some gear and try it out!

How does it play overall?

Perfect! I had to use it when I was updating my cache drive and reorganizing download data across a few drives to add a new one. It took hours and hours, but once it was done, all the data ended up in the right places, and when I relaunched my dockers, everything worked without a hitch.

Just remember to turn off any services like VMs, dockers, or movers before using it. It’s much simpler that way since live data won’t be passing through while you’re moving it.

LSI cards are indeed a boon for servers with massive amounts of drives, like yours. Hopefully, you can get it working, and once you have it set up, everything should interconnect seamlessly.

If needed, you can also consider consolidating your data using unBALANCE. This way, you can distribute some data to the larger drives and potentially remove smaller, older drives that are on their way out or causing unnecessary overhead, which would free up space and optimize resources in your build.

Like you, I had old retired server hardware for Unraid earlier this year that I used for many years, and it worked just fine. However, I decided to modernize my setup and retire the old hardware. I gave it to an enthusiast friend of mine to do whatever he pleases with it.

I wouldn’t say the hardware you have now is a complete waste. Instead, it provides a good platform for continuous learning. Is it overkill? Perhaps, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing either.

In my server, I have 11 disks and one cache drive. The majority of those drives host all my media and files, while three of them are dedicated to downloads and random stuff that I don’t organize too well but still keep around. It may not be the tidiest setup, but it works for me. Every six months or so, when I’m bored and want to try something new and learn, I streamline it. I also don’t use parity because I like to live dangerously!

I cannot attest to whether this product is BIFL or not, as we have only had it for about a year. However, this Ninja has been fantastic and works really well for everyone in the house who uses it. It’s used daily and is still going strong.

If anything, it is probably a good idea to keep accounts open for the next few weeks and check on them periodically to see if the content restores on its own. If it does, you can then proceed to use the delete suite of your choice and run it again.

I suppose that once you are fully confident in deleting your account, you can do so. Alternatively, it might be better to keep the accounts open but delete all the content at this point.
