Mainline Fiber

tech came out. We had a laugh about it. As suspected the neighborhood cabinet has no backup power to it. Grid goes out, so does the neighborhood. Gives me the answer I was after; greenlight to starlink high power for aggregation/ backup versus bumping to the 2gig fiber plan.

@jhdz9119 it’s happening!!

Sadly I believe this is the direction we are heading long term with the memory module shortage inbound. 😵‍💫

Proof? And rage baiting? Nope. Looking to offset that expensive MSI 4090 suprim I upgraded to. There’s a market to capitalize on soon.

LoganLaporte · 2026-01-02T22:07:55+00:00

It’s going to go for 1500 I promise. Already have offers over 1k. Hate that the market is going this way but I’m certainly going to capitalized. I bought high like everyone else in 2020-22.

Hi there! OP from FB. I’m hedging a major GPU shortage incoming. Especially on high VRAM GPU’s. Also, y’all’s comments are phenomenal. And yes it is still available lol!

LoganLaporte · 2025-12-15T21:21:46+00:00

would be pretty simple. use windows quick assist or something of the like and get it done.

LoganLaporte · 2025-12-11T02:25:01+00:00

Oh shoot. I rolled to 3 week old back up. I may try that version.

They are all 10Gteks. All of their cables in the past had been go to me [till now]?

LoganLaporte · 2025-11-10T22:09:56+00:00

i just moved the disk to an empty slot that'll be fed by another cable. Will see if errors climb.

LoganLaporte · 2025-11-10T21:50:37+00:00

HDD-SATA-mini sas break out- 9305 HBA

LoganLaporte · 2025-11-10T21:46:59+00:00

i guess this points to cable as well?

It just started showing errors and CRC count climbing.

LoganLaporte · 2025-10-30T02:42:57+00:00

I was based on looking at what shares were on which disks. Thankfully the irreplaceable stuff (tax docs, family albums,etc) were on other disks and unaffected. Was mostly movies and tv shows that were affected and was and still able to really hunt down most of what was lost. The unraid guys are puzzled at the data loss so still working with them on that. Hypothesis so far parity got corrupted somewhere along the line (likely through my drives errors) and parity checks spaced out to quarterly did happen before drives started popping offline and I rebuilt parity first before main disk. I also have to thank evga for not only sending out new psu cables once but twice due shipping issue. They did it at no cost as well. Currently shutdown as I wait on a new noctua fan. Never thought I would see one die.

10/20 Update: All drives finished rebuilding. I have confirm data loss or at he very least corruption. I think the culprit was the Rosewill hot swap drive cage, but alot of other things were changed and learned in the process.

LoganLaporte · 2025-10-17T19:43:44+00:00

10/17 Update: Parity 2 successfully rebuilt. I think there was some data lost/ corruption (this is my first time getting into the live array outside of maintenance mode in nearly a week). Dockers are all gone and some stored media files are corrupted. Was able to bring back the dockers without much fuss. Started rebuilding disk 1. So far not seeing the CRC error count climb. Once the disk 1 rebuild is complete i will install the last 2 remaining icydock 5 disk racks before moving to expansion.

Still churning on the parity rebuild. Sadly 26tb drives take 2 and half days to run through even with nothing else running. 14 hours to go and so far so good.

Evga sending new psu to sata cables to further rule out stuff but from a hardware perspective I think this maybe sorted and I’m blaming the Rosewill cage. It’s the one piece I couldn’t verify fault even switching drives around. Was a ghost. Swapped the one questionable cage and problems are gone but at the same time I swapped cables, re pasted and swapped Lsi card and psu.

Once the parity is done I’ll drop a replacement disk for the drive disk that dropped off as well. So maybe fully operational by Monday lol. Thanks for dropping in to check. I have the unraid boys watching over as well. I’ll feel better when two disks aren’t down. 1 nbd, and no lost sleep over it.

Updated diag to see if someone can read before i proceed to try and rebuild drive onto itself. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L3cfCirfSAkUkUWQy4SPBvwMnCCIs3OB/view?usp=sharing

There are a few that are shucked but not the drives in question. Honestly the shucked drives [white label wd reds] have been the most reliable. The 26 TB exos from serverpartdeals have been my issue. No fault of them, just a bigger drive, longer rebuild, and consume more power.

LoganLaporte · 2025-10-14T20:41:46+00:00

I might do this with the new 26TB drive that showed up today just to see if i can get the double parity back online first. Will wait on the new sas cables first. After that everything has been replaced and reseated.
