transitioning away from raid but I do love zfs for flexibility. A lot of the data I have is important for someone or somebody, so zfs and a decent backup solution is in use just to make sure. I went bananas and picked up a used Supermicro 4-node server that takes dual E5 Zeons (V1 or V2) with 2xE5-2620s and 49 gig ram in each node for £80 (I’m in the UK). Plenty of power and next is to upgrade the cpus to slightly better cpus to reduce power as it currently uses 2 nodes and I am pulling around 300 watts most of the time. Backup solution is an old Ryzen 3200G with 32 gig ram that runs truenas and has 5x3tb spinny drives in it

It was minding it’s own business and adding them… lol 😀

no issues with temps here in the UK, but the fans don’t sound happy…

Seen plenty of people who think this is a bad thing, do they just want everything to be crawled. I mean I don’t think this is the saviour but it has got to be better than wholesale theft

Not seen anything quite like that to be honest, but I do have a service running a pretty decent chat room system that doesn’t keep any data after the room is nuked. Not quite the same I know… but it works well for me!
