45Drives just launched their HomeLab e-store. Crazy prices and nonsensical parts in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

The case alone is 800 dollars… a used super micro sever that’s 24 bays is 1600 for something with at the time of this post.

256GB ram 2 x E2630 v3s LSI 12GB controller Rack rails

Why in the hell would I pay 800 dollars for an empty case?

RMAing a large HDD that has pirated movies/games on it, is it necessary to completely zero the drive? in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

Just zero it out, and send it back. You have a piece of comfort that way.

I had no idea these are notoriously bad? in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

I've still got 8 of these running. They were pulls from external hard drives, still running strong after 6 years.

Pretty much, most of the 2.5s are like that. The ones that are marketed as external drives. let me correct myself on that bit.

I usually shuck them for internal drives, but the 2.5s like that WD did a funny for them to convert the drive controller to be an actual USB port, not a SATA port. Which is crappy for you wanting to really do anything shucking wise.
