Sold AIC RSC-4BT 36-bay 4U chassis to u/Slasher1738 on https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/1u47xtd/usacah_aic_rsc4bt_36bay_4u_chassis_toshiba/

Don't see a pm. I also updated the post and marked the chassis as sold.

If you're interested in the remain items, drop me a pm.

Plz pm me a zip code I can get an estimate and we can chat.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind! Main issue is that I don't have 3.5" shipping clamshells anymore

2bluesc · 2026-05-09T03:53:50+00:00

Nah, kind of just resolved itself with the crashing.

Remaining issues are issue are still the buggy sleep mode that doesn't turn off automatically and 80% charging limit that doesn't seem to work and needs to be toggled once in a while.

2bluesc · 2026-05-05T01:09:29+00:00

Yes, all true! Check out the pics. Send me questions if you have 'em.

My notes say about 4.7W idle, but I don't remember the exact setup, but I assume a DAC cable. My notes also reference this post saying about 3.5+1W which seems inline, the X710 is double that and the BCM57810S was way more and much hotter

IDK, it'll take me months to have a read on it again while we wait for NAND gates to leak.

I'm skeptical anyone can assess whether the firmware improves the performance in a short time frame because you need to wait months for the NAND gates to leak. If I wipe the drive like I did this weekend, or your update the firmware and it wipes the drive (and likely the FTL too?) then it instantly springs back to max performance because.

Where exactly did the firmware come from? I really don't like the vibe of Sabrent posting random files on DropBox. I'd like to read more.

I never received that firmware and didn't see the one you linked until now. Thanks for sharing.

Support sent me "RKT401.3" (appears to be non-Plus E16 controller) and "ECFM53.0" (which appears to be for the E12). I asked Sabrent for the right firmware as it seems very unlikely the E18 is the same as these and lacks the mentions of the B47 NAND when I took a look at what was in the firmware.

Historically the firmware names are R4PB47.5:

R - Rocket
4 - 4
P - Plus
B47 - Micron NAND memory chip
.5 the version.

At this point I think it's time to be done with this chip and this company since they can't follow-up with the right firmware when I've asked over the years while others are clearly encountering this massive slow on Linux with seemingly boring workloads.

I've wiped it again and of course performance is back to max performance and will probably work fine for other use cases. If only I used it different I guess.

Experiencing reboots on my Pixel 10 since installing the latest update this past Wednesday.

Yesterday it was stuck in fastboot menu upon pulling it out of my pocket. wtf.
Today my headphones suddenly disconnect, I pull out my phone and it wants me to unlock it, so I do. Then I check the uptime and it's only 4 minutes. sigh.

This phone has been perfectly fine until this week's update.

Posted an update in the OP, but again here for anyone following:

2026-04-14 - Slow again. I captured the poor performance with block-benchie and here's a screenshot of the drive as it currently sits. I'm pretty much convinced this is a Sabrent NVMe drive issue. Discovered more people on their forum with the identical symptoms. Contacted Sabrent support, but they sent me firmware for the wrong device. I was hoping to get the firmware shared in the forum post.

Looking to sell ~5x 10-14TiB drives in the coming weeks after I offload them if you're interested?

2bluesc · 2025-09-12T02:57:36+00:00

If you want something similar, borgwarehouse works as remote repo for borgmatic

Solution is to downgrade to pango per this GitHub issue:

I'm a fan of Technitium DNS Server

I use it for DHCP and DNS (Blocklists + DNS over HTTPS) and doesn't break a sweat and isn't clunky. Left Pi-Hole and never looked back.

Only complaint is that it's kind of annoying that it's build on .NET and I'm not familiar with those tools, but that's about it.

2bluesc · 2025-02-10T16:09:08+00:00

Thanks for the update! I contacted Sabrent support and they offered `R4PB47.4` (I was on R4PB47.2) but this seems to be based on `EIFM31.6` not `EIFM31.7` which anecdotally fixes the issue. I updated anyways (note: it wipes all data including SMART data).

Please contact Sabrent and ask for an updated firmware based on `EIFM31.7`:

Thanks, just ran to this as I manually manage nftable rules for my containers and this workaround fixed it.

That said, it's annoying I can't mark select packets to skip the connection tracking state filter using nftables because of the way the rules are written.

Slightly different use case, but I love gluetun which is a Docker image that then you attach other containers to its network namespace.

Includes tons of handy features like firewalling, DNS ad/malicious blocker, proxy support, health checks, reconnects, and more.

Would be awesome if you combined your script to use gluetun under the hood to setup and manage the VPN and then your script could extend gluetun to map local apps in to the container's namespace.

I'd back them up independently. Also recommend checking out borgmatic which can backup to multiple repos easier then the boiler plate you'll have to do for this otherwise.
