I'm trying to choose between the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro and the UGREEN DXP4800 Plus for my home setup. My main use case is photo and file storage, easy access from mobile/web, long-term stability, and also using it as a home server for some self-hosted apps (media server, backups, light services).

Here’s what I'm considering:

Both have 2x M.2 NVMe slots.

On the F4-424 Pro, one of the NVMe drives can be used for the OS, which I actually see as a downside — I'd prefer to dedicate both M.2 slots to caching or performance.

On the UGREEN, the OS runs on separate built-in flash storage, leaving both NVMe slots free for cache.

UGREEN supports up to 64GB RAM, while the F4-424 Pro is limited to 32GB.

TerraMaster's software (TOS) is much more mature and stable, while UGREEN's UGOS is newer but seems to be improving fast.

The F4-424 Pro does have a more powerful CPU compared to UGREEN (Intel N-series vs Alder Lake-N), which could be better for heavier workloads.

If anyone has hands-on experience with either (or both), I'd love to hear:

How stable and reliable are they?

How good is remote access (mobile app, web interface)?

Any quirks, limitations, or things you wish you knew before buying?

Thanks a lot for your advice!

Looks like with the 2025 Plus series (DS925+), Synology is locking down hard drive compatibility... only Synology branded drives will give full features like drive pooling, health analysis, etc. If you use non-certified drives (even IronWolf or WD Red), you might lose key functionality.

It won't affect old models or existing systems, but if you upgrade to a new Plus series NAS, you're pretty much locked into their drives — which are, of course, more expensive.

Is Synology just trying to boost their drive sales at the cost of NAS sales? That feels like a weird long-term play. I always thought NAS flexibility was the whole point.

Also for those of us already on Synology — if I wanted to upgrade and keep my existing drives, am I screwed? Do I need to migrate everything off my current third-party drives and rebuy Synology drives just to get full support on something like the DS925+? That sounds like an absolute nightmare.

Curious what others think. Are people even using Synology drives rn? Or this just going to push ppl to QNAP, UGREEN, TrueNAS, or something cheaper or more open?"

Hello everyone, I'm making this post to find some ideas and maybe discuss some things.

My setup: I have a computer with an Intel i7 12° gen, 64Gb DDR5 RAM, 2.5gbps network card, 2 SSD nvme, and 5 16Tb hard drive + 1 16tb wd my book external USB drive

Goals: add more hard drive, like 5 more

Problem: no phisical space inside the case. I don't want to buy a Synology, QNAP, etc. NAS because It would be extremely expensive and redundant because I already do everything already with my setup.

Possibile solutions:

1. buy and external hard disk enclosure and connect with type c? What about the performace? Any suggestion of anything you use and working good?

2. 3d print something like this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4711196 And with sata cables coming out of the PC. (Ugly but very cheap). I'm afraid of the dust and the temperature, a fan would be useful.

3. Any help is welcome 💖

We can have some site where users can put up requests , and users from here can fulfil them for a price, so they can be rewarded for archiving and not abused as a charity or DDOS victim

Hey DataHorders (@255TB Myself - with 400TB saved from AV1 encoding)

I'm excited to announce Version 6 of Huntarr, a tool designed to help complete your media collection by automatically searching for missing content and quality upgrades. This major update brings significant improvements to support complex media server setups. Note the APP is in the UNRAID app store and you can visit us at r/huntarr for Reddit.

Why is this great for a datahorder? Because it will help fill the holes in your libraries. After deploying this app on my on end, I ended up with a 60TB backlog of media that forced that the ARR's have been skipping over.

Note for users on v5 - You will have to re-setup your configs due to the new multi-ARR support. Also why it has been moved to v6.

What's New in V6:

• Multi-Instance Support: Now supports up to 9 instances of each *Arr application
• Improved UI Stability: Fixed various interface issues for a smoother experience
• Auto-Save Settings: Now ensures settings are saved when navigating away from the settings page
• Streamlined Homepage: Only displays the apps you've configured
• Connection Checker: Added status indicators for each instance of each *Arr app
• Instance Toggle: Easily enable/disable specific instances of each application
• Whisparr Status: Added warning indicating Whisparr support is still in development

https://preview.redd.it/v5nzeq59dixe1.png?width=3016&format=png&auto=webp&s=44351a0627c71ea05b70dcdfea5114e597a1e97a

What is Huntarr?

Huntarr continually scans your *Arr applications for content that's either missing or below your desired quality cutoff. It then automatically triggers searches for these items at intervals you control, helping you gradually build a complete collection with the best available quality.

Supported Applications:

• Sonarr: For TV shows
• Radarr: For movies
• Lidarr: For music
• Readarr: For books
• Coming Soon: Improved Whisparr support and Bazarr integration

Installation:

Via Docker:

docker run -d --name huntarr \
  --restart always \
  -p 9705:9705 \
  -v /your-path/huntarr:/config \
  -e TZ=America/New_York \
  huntarr/huntarr:latest

Huntarr is also available directly in the Unraid App Store for one-click installation!

I've recently gotten interested in the relevance of classical music to the development of multimedia CD-ROM, since so many of the earliest attempts at consumer CD-ROM were of classical music, typically using Hypercard combined with a preexisting recording. I've been trying to rip some of these to ISO and they're surprisingly tricky. ImgBurn consistently get stuck at the phase of "Analyzing Tracks...(Session 1, Track 2)." I've gotten a few ripped with Alcohol 120% although it throws a lot of error which concerns me. Most recently I tried to rip the Warner Music Notes of The Magic Flute and neither program could rip it. I got the same error message from IMGBurn and the Alcohol 120% error message is below

The Magic Flute set is actually archived here, the others from this series are not anywhere afaik: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/68020-the-magic-flute - note I haven't downloaded it to check. I figure others might get insight though?

I currently have 12 TB of content hosted on HDDs. I would like to set up an offsite backup, in case the house burns down. I'm looking at this external drive. 22 TB for $250 sounds like an incredible price. Am I missing something? It's just so much cheaper in $/TB for a consumer drive that I think I have to be missing something.

Hey guys whats up, recently subscibed to google One for the 2tb yearly plan, and finished backing up all my files. Before this my file backup was the following: Main 3TB drive with everything, a 1tb drive 1 to 1 copy of that drive except some games i could redownload, and then another offsite 1tb drive thaat i keep at my gfs thats basically the same as the second drive.

But now that i have google one i want to repurpuse the drive at my gfs for something but idk what. Ive been thinking bout downloading some of my favourite animes and movies and build a small plex library since with the cloud that would be my offsite backup, and im not worried bout it being deleted since its encrypted with rclone.

what would yall do with an extra 1tb (i know thats kids play here but i havent really started a hoard yet, currently working on downloading my whole spotify).

Hi All,

I recently found out a close friend who I met while crypto mining in 2017 passed away at the start of April from a heart attack. I found out through his wife who was finally able to get into his work phone and message me via Telegram. I called her and she is devastated that she could not save him. Last time I talked to him was on April 5th and he passed away on the 6th. I kept sending him memes but he wasnt on or repling. On the 18th I jokingly sent him a message, "Are you dead?" and didnt hear anything until the 21st from his wife.

After the crypto crash of 2018-2019 we still kept in contact via Telegram.

I would like some assistance or pointing me to a how to on how to archive and preserve our chat.

He was like a big brother to me and I will truly miss him. I remembered this part of Shawshank Redemption and it truly hits the feels...

If anyone here doesn't know, The Homebrew Channel is an unofficial channel for the Wii console made by Nintendo. It allows users to run homebrew programs on the console and other such things.

The Homebrew Channel has now ceased development because a developer says that 'key figures' actually stole the code from Nintendo themselves to make the homebrewing possible.

I predict that Nintendo will use this as an excuse to crack down hard on homebrewing and the community at large.

I apologize if any details are wrong, I'm actually not a Wii homebrewer, I just don't want all this work the community has put so much effort into, to just fizzle away.

Also I myself am also not a datahoarder, I don't have the means to do that unfortunately. You lot have my utmost respect for everything you all do.

I realize this may break Rule# 8, and if it does mods, please feel free to remove this post. I'm just worried about all that could vanish and this post is the only thing I can do to help.

Couple of years ago, I got GIGABYTE BRIX mini PC with Celeron Processor J4105. The machine details can be found on its home page here.

It basically has following relevant specifications:

• Front IO:
  • 1 x USB3.0
  • 1 x USB3.0 type C
• Rear IO: 2 x USB 3.0
• Storage: Supports 2.5" HDD/SSD, 7.0/9.5 mm thick (1 x 6 Gbps SATA 3)
• Expansion slot
  • 1 x M.2 slot (2280_storage) PCIe X2/SATA
  • 1 x PCIe M.2 NGFF 2230 A-E key slot occupied by the WiFi+BT card

Currently I have following things installed:

• Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB
• 8 GB DDR4 RAM. CPU-Z says following for the RAM:
  • Total Size: 8192 MB
  • Type: DDR4-SDRAM
  • Frequency: 1197.4 MHz (DDR4-2394) - Ratio 1:12
  • Slot #1 Module - P/N: CB8GS2400.C8JT

I am embarking my journey to configure this machine as my central storage server. I have currently following use cases in mind:

• Download youtube videos / playlists / channels
• Sync photos and documents from onedrive / google drive
• Download movies / TV shows from torrent
• Store some big datasets for machine learning tasks

I have following doubts:

1. Is the configuration of this mini PC fine, or it is not sufficient?
2. What hardware upgrades should/can I do to make it more capable?
3. Is 8 GB RAM enough? or Should I add another 8 GB RAM stick?
4. What storage upgrade is recommended? Currently I can think of following options:
   • Add m.2 NVME and install OS on it, for faster speed. Will it be faster than having OS on SATA SSD?
   • Get rid of 500 GB SATA SSD and replace it with 4TB SATA HDD. Is it worth it?
   • I find internal 2.5 inch internal HDDs quite costlier than 3.5 HDDs. So, instead of sticking to internal drive, will it make sense to buy external hard drive bay like Orico 5 bay and use 3.5 inch HDDs with it? Will it be slower if I connect it to USB 3.0?
5. Apart from hardware front, I also have software related doubt. I am able to setup qBitTorrent WebUI on this machine and access it over Internet. I am in process of setting up TubeArchivist on this machine, by running Docker on Windows. I am thinking I will also need to run Sonarr and Radarr docker on this machine. I already have OneDrive and GoogleDrive clients running. Next I may try setting up Emby or Kodi. My doubt is I am planning to do all this on Windows. Do I need to look for dedicated OS like TrueNAS? What benefit it will provide?

PS: I am a noob data hoarder.

I'm trying to switch out my 9480 for a 9600W - It just has a couple of DS4246/IOM12 JBODs connected to it, but I can't figure out how to get my 9600W to see the drives.

Am I doing something stupid that is stopping JBOD from working?

I have some videos that I want to convert from H264 to H265. For example 720P H264 Total bitrate 4600 Kbps.

I'm trying to figure out if there is a "common" crosswalk for bit rate or a minimum.

For example, take H264 bit rate and cut by 50%?

For example, if converting to H265 don't go lower than X bit rate, etc

I have about 10 TB of data I want to keep safe. At the same time my budget is rather limited and I don't think I can afford a proper 3-2-1 solution. I can sacrifice high availability as I do not need to access these that often. My data is static: once uploaded can remain in that form and do not need any sort of update or modification.

Currently I store things on several LUKS-encrypted external HDD drives kept in a drawer. Only connecting when I need something. Not sure if sparse usage can improve their life expectancy. I only keep a local catalog on my system so I know where is everything placed. Once drive is full I just start filling next one and do not attempt any sort of migration. This means sometimes related files are disjointed into several drives and require a bit hassle to collect fully but this is an inconvenience I can live with. As far as backup goes, I buy my external HDD drives in pairs and keep everything in two copies. I keep backup drives at separate place (a family member home) and update every time I visit to keep in sync.

I understand that for better protection I should create a third copy in cloud but looking at the prices I don't think I want to invest in it just yet.

How can this approach be cheaply improved?

Still very new to and not very good at this, need help with two issues using wget so far:

1. Using wget -m -k (am I crazy for thinking wget -mk would work the same, by the way?) to archive blogs and any files they're hosting, especially videos and PDFs. I like the feature yt-dlp has with --download-archive archive.txt, and I'm wondering if wget has a feature like that, to make updating the archive with new posts easier. Or maybe it already works like that, and I'm slow. Not sure.
2. Been trying to use this method to download everything a user has uploaded. Last time I tried this was last year, and it left 100+ files undownloaded. Now, this was a while ago, to the point that my terminal's history doesn't have the actual commands I used anymore. Still 99% sure I did everything by the book, so if anyone has experience with this, I'd appreciate it. Thinking of using the Internet Archive's CLI tool for this, still looking into whether it works like that, though.

Hello, I'm trying to backup some FanFix.io subscriptions but I can't really find any reliable tools. I tried OF-Scraper and some download extensions but it doesn't support FanFix. Thanks for your time and help!

What has everyone used with success for their main OS drive backups? Currently I have both a windows built in backup using the windows 7 backup tool and an ease todo free version backup of the same OS drive 1TB nvme to two identical enterprise 24TB drives. Plus I have created a boootable USB drive to boot off of in the event the OS drive fails.

For the two backups it's totaling 1.1TB I'm weary that this may be a waste of space to have two identical backups using two different solutions, curious what everyones thoughts are on this strategy and what they've used successfully or if I should be concerned at all about only having one backup solution in the event the OS drive fails before everything else. Perhaps ease todo drops the free version in the future and my backups are null or perhaps windows 7 backup tool is bunk since microsoft themselves stopped supporting it, thoughts?

I can't find more recent reviews. Do you trust it to connect to the internet via their QuickConnect? How is the ransomware protection by now? Will it ever have the "write once read many" option Synology has?

I want to share and receive files by sending a link to the other person, without the need of a VPN or port forwarding. Can they preview the videos I share through the web browser?

here is the link to the model: amazon.com/view-3d/vfa?asin=B0C8V967DT&physicalId=A17ktrRtA-PL

some products have 3D models you can extract from a zip file, but when inspecting others (such as this one) I see no zip files. these ones also do not load properly on a PC browser for me, only on mobile browser

I built a tool that might be of interest if you’re into collecting contact data at scale or want to understand how email discovery really works under the hood — no APIs, no SaaS, no rate limits.

It:

• Generates all the usual email permutations (john.smith@, j.smith@, etc.)
• Scrapes the company website for any public addresses
• Resolves MX records and connects to the mail server directly
• Uses SMTP commands (HELO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO) to verify if the address actually exists
• Outputs a detailed JSON result per contact with score, status, raw responses

It’s fast (written in Rust), fully local, and you can batch process lists from a JSON file. Output is machine-readable for pipelines or enrichment projects.

This gives you full control over scraping, scoring, and SMTP logic.

Happy hoarding
