    Good morning guys

    Good morning xpress. How's it going? Still racing the deadline?

    Morning noob. Yup, its still on, and a new project started. Have to work on that as well. :(

    Ah, good luck, dude. BTW, made the jump to Lubuntu. Working on setting up, as we speak.

    Thats great. All softwares/alternatives you used on windows available in Linux? Also try xubuntu as well if you have free time.

    Yup, installing them one by one. But, have no experience with them yet. This is mostly applicable for GUI apps on Windows. Glad that I moved to Linux though, as most of the time for my projects I have had to use either WSL or a VM. This would be much better, I guess.

    I did use Xubuntu years ago, and did like it. But, have used Lubuntu more than Xubuntu in the past few years. Hence the choice.

    You are free bird now. :p

    Yes, was a bit difficult with the setup, especially moving files and converting the partitions to ext4. I prefer that over NTFS. Currently, moving files on a 5400RPM HDD, so, you know, it's frustrating.

    You are running OS in HDD?

    No. On an NVMe. Just had a few files on HDD, especially the VM's VDIs. Was a struggle backing them up and then moving them.

    Yup, VDIs are big and take lots of time to move, esp if you store them in single file like me.

    I just tarred the important files within each of these VDIs. They themselves were pretty large.

    What do you run on those VMs?

    Every one of my Linux projects including builds of kernels and some distros was done on those VMs.

    For storing Media for something like Jellyfin, what would you guys recommend - 3.5" SATA HDD or NVMe?

    For large storage definitely HDDs. Price/GB.

    Yah, was considering that. But, adding the price of a SATA Docking station and the electricity costs and physical space consumption, a SATA SSD seems better in the longer run.

    I thought you are looking for TBs of storage.

    It's just for Media storage for the Jellyfin server running atop my Android box. So, 1TB should be enough.

    How do you connect that to Android box? You want to buy an external ssd?

    Nah, an internal SSD works fine with a simple SATA to USB cable.

    Ssds aare getting cheaper 😎

    Not for larger storage, like 4TB

    SSD prices are okay for upto 1 TB.

    Yup, upto 1TB they are fine.

    Moreover, if you are getting an SSD 2TB or higher, I'd definitely recommend a Samsung/atleast a Crucial, not any of those cheaper brands.

    I always prefer Samsung. I have 1Nvme, 1TB 860 evo, and 500GB portable T5.

    Yah. They are the best, but, are much more expensive.

    SSD prices are okay for upto 1 TB.

    Yup, upto 1TB they are fine.

    Moreover, if you are getting an SSD 2TB or higher, I'd definitely recommend a Samsung/atleast a Crucial, not any of those cheaper brands.

    I always prefer Samsung. I have 1Nvme, 1TB 860 evo, and 500GB portable T5.

    Sed no love to kings? Or crucial or WD?

    Didn't try for SSDs. Have external HDDs from Seagate and WD though. And a WDMyCloudMirror NAS. (one Red drive failed after 3 years).

    Comes with 5 year warranty those ready red drives aren't they?

    For storing Media for something like Jellyfin, what would you guys recommend - 3.5" SATA HDD or NVMe?

    For large storage definitely HDDs. Price/GB.

    Ssds aare getting cheaper 😎

    Not for larger storage, like 4TB

    Yah. They are the best, but, are much more expensive.

    I usually buy them when there are good offers. (or mistakes :p )

    Me as well. I try to hunt for them, but, most of the time, they are picked up very quickly.

    Not much now. Those were golden days when Amazon was launched in India.

    Yah, was considering that. But, adding the price of a SATA Docking station and the electricity costs and physical space consumption, a SATA SSD seems better in the longer run.

    I thought you are looking for TBs of storage.

    It's just for Media storage for the Jellyfin server running atop my Android box. So, 1TB should be enough.

    How do you connect that to Android box? You want to buy an external ssd?

    Nah, an internal SSD works fine with a simple SATA to USB cable.

    I suggest an enclosure to be on safe side.

    Yah, it just adds a plastic/metal casing to it.

    Yup and they save us from accidents.

    I don't think plastic helps though

    Good morning guys

    Good morning xpress. How's it going? Still racing the deadline?

    Morning noob. Yup, its still on, and a new project started. Have to work on that as well. :(

    Ah, good luck, dude. BTW, made the jump to Lubuntu. Working on setting up, as we speak.

    Thats great. All softwares/alternatives you used on windows available in Linux? Also try xubuntu as well if you have free time.

    Yup, installing them one by one. But, have no experience with them yet. This is mostly applicable for GUI apps on Windows. Glad that I moved to Linux though, as most of the time for my projects I have had to use either WSL or a VM. This would be much better, I guess.

    I did use Xubuntu years ago, and did like it. But, have used Lubuntu more than Xubuntu in the past few years. Hence the choice.

    You are free bird now. :p

    Yes, was a bit difficult with the setup, especially moving files and converting the partitions to ext4. I prefer that over NTFS. Currently, moving files on a 5400RPM HDD, so, you know, it's frustrating.

    You are running OS in HDD?

    No. On an NVMe. Just had a few files on HDD, especially the VM's VDIs. Was a struggle backing them up and then moving them.

    Yup, VDIs are big and take lots of time to move, esp if you store them in single file like me.

    I just tarred the important files within each of these VDIs. They themselves were pretty large.

    What do you run on those VMs?

    Every one of my Linux projects including builds of kernels and some distros was done on those VMs.

    Ah that mystery project. ;)

    Nah, this is different. I am into PS4 Linux projects.

    You have a PS4?

    Yup. Can't remember the last time I gamed on it though.
