Post Originaly from https://bsky.app/profile/fjox.win/post/3mofs2frbvs2v at 2026 06 16
my server had been down for like 5 days now. Now im stuck on this stupid place and don't even have acces to my nas. Then I found out I spend the last day and a half copying the wrong drive with ddrescue. Im soo done with this shit. I have decade old hard drives but ask a ssd to do more then 3 years hell no. I want a server that could run forever if electricity is provided. Ssds make it impossible. 3 months of 15 vms that probably didn't even do 500gb per day in total killed a drive that supposed to have a rw capacity of 2400 tb. Also I hate bluesky with its stupid twitter like post limit of 500. My mastodon had a limit of 65536. You could write a small book with that. And now that I have to copy shit with ddrescue again but instead of getting the same or better performance since its a ssd copying to a USB harddrive compared to a USB harddrive to the same USB harddrive its 30 times slower at peak. And that USB harddrive is 1tb bigger. now some might say just use the last backup. Well to even acces ir i need a vm on that ssd because nobody plans that ssd especially one from a reputable brand like samsung dies after 4 months of use. Even if mine was rather extreme compared to the usual use of one of them. it's ridiculousthat only 50 bad sectors and a passed smart test causes all the data to be inaccessible. Also the expectationthat I have backups that can survivea nuke is unrealistic. If i had the money i wouldn't use decade old hardware. Now you might say just play video games on your gaming pc. Well i don't have one, all my desktops are on my server and the only other computer that could game properly is copying the drive. I pirated gamesI alreadyown on a laptop for just to play some shitty DM for a dozen mins. This thread is probablybecoming longer then any serious post I made on the fediverse. Anyways now that i dont have a ssd for vms ig i gotta use a dozen decade old hard drives from the discard pile of a graphics design studio since im broke and you cant run multiple windows on a single harddrive cause that shit fucking lagggs. Im so done with this shit, i can even torture myself by editing long overdue videos and ive watched so many video essays that I can't watch anymore. I might just start looking on ebay for like epyc Rome shit or something. HAHA I GOT IT TO COPY AT 135MB/s. So now it's done at 0000... great. STILL BETTER THEN 10 DAYS HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHS OR THE PREVIOUS DAY AND THEN SOME ONTOP JAHAHHAHAHSHSHDHDHHDJDJFHDJDJDJDHHFJDJDJDHDJJFHDHDHFHNFJFNJDJFKFJFJDJDHFH it wasn't done, ddrescuetime calc sucks ass like it's not gonna be like 12 hours instead of 8... all the copying was fine no errors ddrescue didn't see any faulty sectors and yet all my data is shot. I can't boot truenas nor can I extract the config of it.

2.5 Sata Diskler için bunu aldım ve çalışıyor.
3.5 olanların içindekilere Linux'ta hârici olarak USB 3.0 üzerinden nasıl ulaşabilirim?
Yakın zamana kadar açabiliyordum.
Arşiv olduğu için kullanmadığımdan ne zaman açamaz oldum emin değilim.
Raspberry Pi OS ile de, Pardus 25 Gnome ile de açılamıyor.
Sâdece Pardus 25 Gnome istersem içindeki her şeyi silerek formatlamama izin veriyor!
Linux'ta bunun için bir uygulama mı aramam gerek?

Is there* a USB HDD enclosure that does RAID 1 (or maybe even 5) in hardware?
My relatives just asked me about something like that (in a less technical way) as the USB-HDD they connected to their Smart TV to record stuff died...
(*Mainly asking if there is any that is worth buying, not if it exists at all)

#nas #backup #externalHDD
Jak se tak hrabu v NAS,
zjistil jsem že zálohy na externí disk jsem nedělal - no letos nedělal 🤦♂️
Takže se teď kopíruje asi 1,5T (zálohuji jen důležité věci) na externí disk, ten nosím mimo domov .... -

Beware of External HDD Scams!
Every single category of technology products has both the real products and fake counterfeit ones. Fake products are usually found at either unauthorized retail stores, unauthorized distributors, or unaffiliated sellers across platforms like Amazon and eBay. Those counterfeit products don’t meet quality requirements that a real product would offer.
One of the examples that we’re going to cover in this article is external hard drives. When you buy an external hard drive from authorized sellers or from the company directly, you are getting a real product that meets all requirements. Go cheap, and you’ll start seeing fake products that are too good to be true. Those usually go in the following categories:
- External hard drives that have very high capacity at unbelievably cheap prices.
- External hard drives that look like the real one when it’s an obvious counterfeit.
- External hard drives that have their internals dismantled and repurposed to fit in cheap “memory sticks.”
- External hard drives that actually have capacities and read/write speeds slower than advertised.
For example, there is an increasing number of counterfeiters that try hard to replicate the real thing, such as copying the logo cleverly, figuring out the exact materials used, and copying the print materials in the product boxes to try to match the real ones. Additionally, scammers try to “artifically” increase the weight of the product to match the real weight found in real products by finding ways to accomplish this goal, such as putting a heavy metal inside the product.
External hard drives are no exception, since a Reddit user had an incident where they were encountering an increasing number of fake external hard drives. This was on a post, which has since been deleted, but the image of the fake external hard drive internals has been saved.
Opening this specific hard drive revealed the following components:
- Cheap memory stick connected to the USB female port connector
- USB female port connector connected to another USB female port connector with the PCB using four cables
- A heavy metal to “increase the weight”
- A glue around the USB female port connector and the memory stick to “make everything stick”
This gives users a false impression that they’ve got a sizable speedy hard drive, when they really got a cheap memory stick with capacities and speeds less than advertised.
When buying products, you need to buy them only from trusted stores (Newegg, Best Buy, etc.) or from the official website of a product directly. This makes sure that you get warranty support, should you experience failures with a genuine product.

The weekend has brought to me a wonderful device LC-M2-C-NVME-2X2 https://www.lc-power.com/en/product/hddssdm2raid-enclosures/m2/lc-m2-c-nvme-2x2.html
This thing is a case for a NVMe M.2 SSD. The reason I've bought it is to transfer data from a 500Gb card to a 1Tb one to upgrade my laptop's storage.

What’s a good quality (and economical) external hard drive? I’ve used WD My Passport Ultra drives and I’m looking to see there are other options that are as good or better.
