What do you guys think about using consumer-grade SATA SSDs for bulk storage?

Assuming that you don't write to them very often, I would think that they would have some benefits in terms of power consumption and heat generation, and if you were to use a chassis that is optimized for them, you can also get more of them in a given chassis.

Anybody use consumer-grade SATA drives for bulk data storage?

Hi,

I have 3 primary machines that I regularly use as clients (a PC, a laptop and a Surface).

I'm really over launching Putty and finding that "oh, that host hasn't been added to this machine's list yet" and having to dog the details out of my wiki.

Now that we live in the future, is there a better way?

What are people using to keep their clients up to date?

I felt like my homelab was always missing a good host inventorying solution and security / network monitoring tool. My goal was to track every host, control which hosts were on the network and get visibility to what those hosts were doing. I couldn't find any good solution out there.

I was tracking DHCP addresses and mappings in pfsense or pihole or some other place and it was getting chaotic. On top of that, when I tried to move to a multi-vlan setup, and add stricter rules in PFSense, I started to run into very big walls with the capabilities that these systems had.

So, I wrote some software and have been building on it over the last year. I did a private preview in June under a different name and got a bunch of feedback from a few people and have spent the last 6 months addressing that feedback and incorporating a bunch of new ideas. And now, I've built something that I think no network can live without ;)

Basically, the key features I wanted were:

• Track hosts either proactively (DHCP control) or reactively (netflow monitoring) from PFsense or any other netflow system
• Categorize my hosts (e.g: laptop, wifi AP, refrigerator, etc)
• See what my hosts were doing (network flows, DNS requests, etc)
• I added a bunch of security-esque detections into it - e.g: is anything talking to a ToR, VPN, some random host in Russia, etc.
• Integration with Home Assistant and GetHomePage.dev

With some time off ahead for Christmas and New Years, it felt like a good time to release the software in a public preview - it may still have some bugs.

Setup is easy - just install two docker containers.

I'm planning to make some videos about how to use it also.

Im a teen(17y.o) using my dads old office pc as a headless server.I installed debian headless on it. In there i have nextcloud, immich, adguard home, nginx, tailscale in docker containers. I care about my files a lot so how can i minimize data loss if power goes out? My dad hates that the pc is in the living room already so i can't save up and buy an ups he would hate it. Also i got another question: Im using a pretty old ssd on my server (samsung 840 evo) its been sitting in my drawer from 2019 to 2025 because i thought it was dead but recently i fixed it with secure erase. Could it not being powered for 6 years cause any issues long term?
