       The oldschool beauty of having a NAS with spinning rust drives, living under my desk, is that I can *hear* that the computer is doing something.crunch, crunch, crunch

       @stfn That is why its standing in different room, where nobody sleeps ;DAlso 20TB in HDD is still way cheaper than in SSD.

       @stfn very sad to hear this. You can get them from free 😊. Although you don't have this ribbon cable connector most likely anymore on the motherboard. I really would like to hear the sound of a floppy disk now I'm typing this. Lol
