Stuff where fast read & writes is extremely very important
All my family photos are stored on a 160GB HDD, attached to my home router via USB 2.0 to IDE adapter.
I keep hearing weird noises at night from this HDD.
Shall I worry?
It’s probably hungry
Not to worry - it's just the IDE adapater running a lil warm.
Can you monitor it over IPv9 or move it to a cooler DC like this one?
I know, the power supply is small, the HDD has been spinning in the closet for the past 7 years so that it's feeling hungry with 500mA input current.
This hunger problem is getting so bad that the entire home router would shutdown if I'm writing faster than 4MB/s.
Sure, my personal Proxmox cluster is using 2x2TB HDDs. Works fine, and is just for personal use.
It acts as my 25 cent per gb of ram promo for my minecraft yearly summer host - it is just free ram right?
Seriously tho - if you are not sharing the HDD with other people - p2p crypto nodes, while slow to first setup, function fine on them.
