I have a Crucial 2.5" SSD that I suspect is borked. I've installed it in two systems in the past month and both times it appears to have caused issues with the filesystem (files being inaccessible).

I want to give this a proper test before I make a warranty claim (in case it's being being dumb) but I'm overwhelmed with all the different tool options.

What's the go-to these days? I want to boot from an image, point it at the drive and have it tell me if it's good, or if it's bad and why.

What's the best multi HDD Bay enclosure with raid 5 support? ideally Gen 2 USB 3.0. Budget is under $250 but ideally $150-200 if possible..

I had an epic wally moment earlier. I seem to be all about the jank with everythign I do these days and have built a new open air frame threadripper system with a hot swap caddy to house my 16TB Exos HDD's array. As I was shoving that into the rack as best as I could. I perched the hotswap caddy right on the front edge as I miscalcualted sizes and things didnt fit how I tought they would. Well fast forward to plugging in power cables at back of new system. At least I had some sense to make sure everything was switched of and it was just cold unpowered cables going in. So nothign spinning.

But like the donkey that I am, I carelessly pushed too hard on the frame as i was pluggin in power and that nudged the HDD caddy forward off the front of the shelf and it tipped off the rack!!!

The whole thing fell slgihtly off-vertical, total drop was about 6 inches onto soft carpet. Everythign starts up fine and no errors have been reported. Did I get lucky??? Or is my day of reckoning just around the corner?

My PC has a couple of M2 drives and a 2.5" SSD, plus a 4TB WD Black drive that's full. I also have a JBOD with a couple of Exos and an IronWolf drive. I'm looking for a replacement for that 4TB that would be primary, active storage for my photos and video. (I'd use an M2 as video editing and then save the results back to the spinning disk) Looking at GoHardDrive and ServerPartsDeals, I can get a 14TB Ultrastar HC530 (that's CMR) for $150, or a 12TB IronWolf for $180.

Would you buy a manufacturer recertified drive for inside your PC? Or should I look for a new drive?

If so, would you choose the Ultrastar or the IronWolf? Does it matter if you're using a "NAS" drive inside your PC? Which would be louder? Which would have better performance?

Thanks.

I've bought a scanner and want to scan photos for friends. What is the best way to store other people's data in a way they can easily access? I need a cloud based service where the viewer can see their high quality pics but noone else's.

I finally got a NAS and so far I'm storing large files on there such as footage from various projects. I also have important documents such as prescriptions, tax returns, and financial documents that I frequently access that I keep in my computer. My question is should I keep those documents and back them up to the NAS occassionally? Or should I move them to the NAS and access them via SMB?

My NAS is currently being backed up to S3 Glacier Deep Archive and an external USB. I suppose if my keep it in my computer, it adds another "layer" of backup. I'm curious to know what would r/DataHoarder or r/datacurator do?

Does it use the RTL9210 or JSM583 controller? How is it compared to SSK or Ugreen options on amazon?

I have a couple of podcasts I'd like to archive. Is there an app I can give a feed to and have it download everything and stay in sync? Preferably a docker I can run on unraid.

Features:
* Runs without any GUI environment. Suitable for servers and the cloud.
* Automatically keeps games updated during successive uses.
* Support for downloading from MEGA links as well as itch-native uploads.
* Automatic archive extraction.
* Uses itch.io's own "Collections" feature to create download lists.
* Filter based on desired platform(s).
* No use of AI during development.

There is also a docker image, but it's currently lacking documentation: https://hub.docker.com/r/neon725/butler_archivist

This tool started as a personal project to let me update games on my steam deck via syncthing in the background without manually launching the itch.io app. It's worked well for that purpose in my own homelab, but in light of the recent controversy, I figure other people might like to start data hoarding. I've spent the last few days cleaning up the rough edges, adding error handling and some light documentation, preparing it for containerized deployments like docker and kubernetes, and adding the `--no-remove` parameter, which prevents games from being uninstalled if they are delisted from the site.

Note that this tool cannot do anything that the itch desktop app can't do, with the exception of MEGA support that had to be implemented myself.

Happy hoarding!
