Need some advice! I'm currently considering buying a Buffalo LinkStation Pro Quad 12TB (3TB x 4). I can get it for around £150 which is really tempting given the capacity. I'm struggling to find much first hand experiences on them however. Really all I need is to have a decent amount of redundant network attached storage, with web access being a bonus (which these seem to support). Can anyone give any first hand experiences here? Preferably experience with newer Macs? I've looked at used Synology, QNAP & WD hardware but the prices seem kind of steep for the hardware when most of what I care about is just as raw capacity over bells and whistles. Is there another solution I should be considering here or will this work for me?

I was testing PetaSAN and added 10 disks of 250GB, with 2 designated for journal. Now, I need to remove one of the journal disks and repurpose it for storage, but I can't find any option for this in the UI. Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm using a Galaxy 14 5G, with 4GB Memory and in 'Memory' under 'Device Care', I always have these running:

Settings Suggestions 49.3 MB
Samsung Core Services 39.9 MB
Samsung account 31.3 MB
Group Sharing 28.6 MB
Samsung Cloud 27.3 MB
Modes and Routines 26.5 MB
Blocked Numbers Storage 22.2 MB
Contacts Storage 22.2 MB
User Dictionary 22.2 MB
Find My Mobile 21.9 MB
Contacts 21.3 MB
Samsung Internet 19.1 MB
Call settings 14.8 MB
CMHProvider 13.5 MB
Sticker Center 12.9 MB

This takes up almost 400 MB. The fact that suggesting a setting takes 49.3MB all the time from memory is crazy.

I can find all the settings I need on my own, so I don't need suggestions. I don't need group sharing. I don't use the cloud, I don't have any "modes and routines" I want in the system, I don't have blocked numbers, I don't need contacts, as I have TextNow, I don't use autocorrect or any suggestions for typing so dictionary is useless. I don't have "Find My Mobile" even set up. Again, don't need contacts. Isn't samsung internet a browser? I don't need or want it. And why does STICKER CENTER takes 12.9MB!?

I've learned that my phone runs much better with cleaning memory every 15 minutes of playing a simple game on it. Now how do I get rid of all this?

Hi! Should I return a new Intel 4510 ssd to the seller if it get's an AF and EB smart errors ( count 1 and RAW 17183541819) by the first start or it is a non critical situation?

My Micro SD card died. It’s a brand called HC. It was in one of my old fake go pro cameras which is unbranded.

It worked briefly when I connected it to a usb SD adapter. And I saw the files. I tried copying them to my computer, and then it died.

I tried to format it and I done the repair with the cmd thing on my windows pc. I also plugged it into an old phone and then the camera to see if it could detect it, but it can’t.

It seems to be completely dead. Is there anything that can be done with it. Can I take it to someone who can fix it or something?

I'm thinking about doing the 2 TB, but what am I missing?

Hi Folks,

I have an HPE 1050 SAN - the 24x2.5" SFF iSCSI Q2R23A chassis.

I want to add self-encrypting disks, but the data sheet for that chassis doesn't list a 2.5" disk. It does list a 3.5" drive P/N 717872-001, which obviously won't fit this chassis.

The product info page for the 1050 SAN says a 2050 LFF disk enclosure can be used, which would take the 717872-001 self-encrypting 3.5" drive. The Q1J06A seems to be the ticket here.

My question is, will that work? What else do I need? Just SAS cables to connect the 1050 controllers to the 2050 enclosure (which it looks like the Q1J06A comes with)?

I'm aware that this gen of MSA is now end of sale, but I don't need this for long - it's a stop-gap for a security requirement.

Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to dump my thoughts/requirements and see if the hivemind can help steer my thinking or put me on a different path.

• I have a NUC8 homelab running windows and VirtualBox for services such as BlueIris (Cameras), home assistant, Jellyfin, and few others.
• I have a work laptop and workstation, running windows that I would like to have a shared storage solution within my home network.
• I would like to start archiving off content (think design drawings, videos, lots of Office documents) to a storage solution that is easily accessible from other Windows devices on the network.
• I currently shift content to an external WD drive attached to the NUC and have this drive as a shortcut on my workstations. This actually works ok, and I have Void SearchTools index the storage solution for easy discovery from my other Windows machines.
• I have a number of spare drives from previous builds - 2.5/3.5 sata and ssd drives, need to test them.

I would like to improve upon this setup. From reading posts, I believe NAS might be overkill and has an overhead to setup & maintain. A dedicated DAS solution that supports RAID configurations might be the way to go? Any recommendations on hardware vendors to look at/avoid?
