Starting a #homelab in my new place in #Spain, thinking I'm gonna start with a #ZimaBoard with 2x #4TB HDD/SSD connected to it and running #TrueNAS on it. Has anyone run anything like that and can give me do's and don'ts?
I'm going to use my army of RPI machines to do other things as well. I'd prefer to run low-wattage computers at the moment.

bought on backorder from #Adorama. better worker treatment than B&H people say. not to mention Amazon! Best Buy is sold out with no backorder option.

killer deal on high-end #4TB PCIe 4.0 #SSD! #WD BLACK #SN850X 4TB for $230 on sale until Thursday. way overkill for #Thunderbolt 3, but one of the best SSDs available so hopefully pretty future proof. half of what it cost just a couple months ago. 🔥 https://www.adorama.com/wdbb9g4bnc.html

what’s the cheapest #4TB #NVMe #SSD that’s NOT #QLC that can saturate a 2,800Mbps TB3 bus on M1 Ultra #Mac?

WD Black SN850X 4TB at $300 USD looks good, any better? NO QLC PLZ

On a midnight whim I bought an open box $129 #OWC Envoy Pro FX external TB3 + USB-C SSD enclosure. Same price range as #Acasis but it comes with a 256GB SSD installed. Want to upgrade to 4TB eventually which this guy in Taiwan says is possible? 🤞🏽 https://ahui3c.com/102034/owc-envoy-pro-fx

New Macbook Pro means new backup drive...

Every now and then, I have to stop and think, "I'm storing four terabytes of data in a stick of chewing gum."

What a world.
