       My “temporary” NAS is again reporting SMART failures in one of my drives and I’m back to wondering if this NAS is just a scam to sell more hard drives. I still haven’t come across a more permanent NAS solution I like the looks or cost of. Maybe I’m just not cut out for this kind of hardware responsibility.I love the idea of having always available on-site replica of data, but I start to wonder if it should be a shared building utility like a central HVAC splits costs/betters outcomes.

       @max@smeap.com i use the cheapest possible usb external drives.shockingly reliable. always has been. yes its lost drives over the years, but the years are many and the drives are few.

       @purple This particular one tells me that 46C is in the normal operating temperatures of the drives and the internet corroborates that may be likely, but that’s water boiling temperatures and the NAS seems too packed like sardines for what appears to be just passive cooling. 🤷Apparently I’ve never thought about it before, which is more reason I’d probably rather have a “NAS pro” handle the hardware for me. 😹

       @max@smeap.com yeah i'd never trust a NAS appliance for exactly those reasons. 46 is hot AF.so, yeah. i stand by my statement. "racks", as minimal as they may be, kill drives. keep them bitches out in the open 😆

       @purple @max@smeap.com 46 is warm (especially if at idle) but not too ridiculousi would generally agree that unless you really need the constant availability of a nas, most people are better suited with a few external drives and good backup discipline...
