Jai replied to MrBillions on [Prime] Apple iPhone 14 Pro 512GB (Silver, Gold, Space Black) $1599 Delivered @ Amazon AU
The 15 isn't inferior, the improvements since last generation are just... very minor. USB-C and the "Action Button" which replaced the mute…

Jai replied to Archaleas on [Zip] Synology DiskStation DS920+ 4-Bay NAS $696.15, QNAP TS-464-4G 4-Bay NAS $713.15 Delivered @ Shallothead eBay
I suggested cloud provider backups as it's very safe and easy but if the subscription model isnt appealing @bdl is right, an adequately…
Jai replied to Archaleas on [Zip] Synology DiskStation DS920+ 4-Bay NAS $696.15, QNAP TS-464-4G 4-Bay NAS $713.15 Delivered @ Shallothead eBay
All of them are capable of that workload, just choose according to the number of drive slots you need (factoring in redundancy). Also,…
Jai replied to DonkyWonky on 30% off Unraid Pro License Upgrades: US$55.30 (~A$80) from Basic, US$34.30 (~A$50) from Plus @ Unraid
TrueNAS is vastly superior. Unraid is a toy; flexible and fun, but nothing compared to enterprise ready solutions from iXsystems like…
Jai replied to DnA-bargain on [Afterpay] Synology DiskStation DS920+ 4 Bay NAS $713.15 Delivered @ Computer Alliance eBay
Yes, that's essentially what Synology devices are designed for, as long as the drives are SATA you shouldn't have any problems. Be careful…
Jai replied to Zorlin on [Afterpay] Synology DiskStation DS920+ 4 Bay NAS $713.15 Delivered @ Computer Alliance eBay

Don't make me laugh
Exact same experience as you. 2/3 of my Ironwolf drives failed within 6 months but they replaced them, allowed me to transfer the remaining…
Only difference being the Christian one was pushing their religion on people who aren't interested and this one is trying to save you and…
Jai commented on Received Unwarranted Pamphlet with Amazon Order
I got the same thing today and I'm vaccinated. Don't worry, just a shotgun approach by the gov trying to fix the current state of things.
eBay queries EB Games backend for product quantities -> "all good, plenty of stock", store page is artificially limited to 10 units by some…
Jai commented on Seagate 16TB HDD Exos X16 7200RPM 512e/4kn SATA 6GB/s 256MB $535 Delivered @ Newegg (USA)
I own 6 of these, quite good, haven't had a failure yet (touch wood) in the year I've been running them.
Jai commented on Your Most Replayed Single Player Game of Last Gen?
Witcher 3, brilliant game.
Ahh right, yeah that's a difficult requirement. None of the cases I've been looking at can fit that many 3.5" drives, sorry. Yeah, don't…

Jai replied to [Deactivated] on Toshiba 16TB 3.5" HDD Enterprise MG08ACA16TE $565.48 + Delivery ($0 with Prime) @ Amazon UK via AU
For more anecdotal evidence, I bought 6x16TB Seagate Exos drives about a year ago, they've continued to pass SMART tests and no failures…
>I think we're pretty much agreeing here - due to data striping, higher forms of RAID are not "better" than RAID 1 (mirrored drives). A…
>True, all forms of "soft damage" can be reversed - if you have a backup stored elsewhere, which was my point: RAID is not a backup. And…
