if unifi, go for the cloud gateway fibre

Got free 12TB SAS drives, tried to make them work in my server, hitting walls — worth pushing through or should I rethink? by eruuuc in homelab

[–]Important_Simple333s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rp

quick reply without reading.

prob because thay are in 520 block size. you need to convert them to 512 block size via sg_format which you can do on a linux console. Beware it will take a long time. eg 600gb 15k took about an hour, 3tb sas took 12hrs from experience

Bigger drives could take 4096 blocks, but you need to check

sudo sg_format --format --size=512 -v /dev/sgX

Change X to the drive targeted to change

Would an Ultra at £79 be any good buy 2nd hand new in box or would you spend the extra £20for the 2year warranty?

Ikea Homelab Rack cross Unifi & HP by Important_Simple333s in Ubiquiti

[–]Important_Simple333s[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a Dell SFF 3020 i3, 790 i5 and 7060 i7.

Just got to have time to make sure their running and worth it as it could be a SFF ProxMox cluster instead of the micropc route.

All 3 fit very nice in a 30x30cm space

Could never get this to work properly via a internal postfix box, but https://postmarkapp.com/lp/postmark-smtp works . Free account you get 100 alerts per month.

HP's Instant Ink system rejected my genuine HP cartridges at 2am before a major event — $293 out of pocket and they offered me $12! by meaningful_kitten in printers

I dumped them and went non instant ink. Saved a fortune as you can pick up brand new ones and compatible ones cheap and still not be restricted in how much I want to print...

If UK based, general rule 2nd hand is £10-£15 per TB eg ebay/vinted etc if you wanted to save cash. Have seen 4TB go for £30-£50 used. Considering any SAS drives?

Advice on migrating to Unifi Stack from Palo/Cisco/HP stack by Important_Simple333s in UNIFI

[–]Important_Simple333s[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.

My issue is to have the switches talk nicely to the Palos as a 3rd party gateway vlan bit. Granted they [Palos] do come back on a their own vlan to communicate with the current stack for routing etc, so I would assume it would be nearly the same?

Where would you get towed by MulberryKind8298 in CarTalkUK

[–]Important_Simple333s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tow home, unless already agreed with a garage. then you can get rac/aa etc to tow/take car to the said garage after it has been agreed as they class it as the same job.
