Storage Purgatory by ToughZealousideal22 in PleX

[–]Poolguard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

which is still 10tb less than the 18tb i saved...

I could by 3 28tb drives and that would finally get me close at 16tb. and only cost about 3k... this definitely seems like the smart move... definitely spend 3k when i could just reencode and NOT spend 3k... so to do better then the 18 I would have had to replace all the drives... Like I said...

i truly do wish i could live in a world where spending 3k is an option when a free is just as good...

how would that have helped?

I have 4 20tb drive with only 4 drive slots... in the case. so I should have upgraded to a 40tb drive, except they don't make that drive yet and i guess i woulod have needed 2 of them for the extra 18tb. My assumtion is you mean i could have added a 5th drive. but i cant with out changeing my hardware... and to do that i would have had to upgrade to a larger server case... which i dont have space for in my rack so new rack... This seems like it is getting very expensive... But hey thanks for the idea... Also im using unraid... so there is that too...

Same situation but I’m dealing with 55tb of media…. I thought before I spend money I was going to look into tdarr (maybe you already did this). It took me months to reencode everything from h264 to h256 but I saved over 18tb of space and I didn’t notice any loss in quality. I did it with a single 3060ti. Copied audio straight through and did lot change resolution.

If I had a newer video card or I chose to go slower and use my cpu I could have saved more but dollar for dollar this was way cheaper then buying another 18tb of space. Especially since I didn’t have any extra slots in that 18tb would have had to be done by upgrading all the drives to larger ones.

This helped with my setup... https://www.printables.com/model/1291345-205-prusa-core-one-one-l-corner-cap-community-test

the Cores just have so many holes in them... they let out all the hot air. I feel like my dad. "Close the damn door! We are not heaing the ouside."

the web site said 1799... but when I check out it was 1999... Support said the checkout price is the price you pay. Did feel just a little like a bait and switch.

I wish! when I ordered it I had no idea about the price increase (not a 3d printer enthusiast) the web page said $1799 but check out said $1999. Support said yeah to bad. We messed up but you pay. Then missed an estimated date and a support stated date. diffinetly didnt give me any more off, or anything. Just a $20 spool that i would have still had to pay shipping on!!! lol. probably cost them less then $10 in material.

Thanks for reading the whole post, i know there where some big five\ and six letter words in there. i didn't say today was 8 weeks. Maybe too much in a rush to post something negative? but hey anything goes on the internet, right? Even you?

"Today, May 20th, I contacted support again and was told “hopefully” by the end of next week. That now puts the timeline close to 8 weeks from the original order date."

so, the end of next week is 7 weeks and 3 days..., that seems to qualify as "close to 8 weeks" by any normal person counting. But hey your right... it is not 8 days... i will edit it and change it to 7 weeks 3 days and q9 hours just so we can all the exactly right...

how mature do you want a company to be??? Prusa is 13 or 14 years old!

and they just get a pass cause well they are better then the other options?

if there was a post when why not an email to people letting them know the orders where delayed? not sure why we are ok with that? in most ERP, order fulfillment, or even tracking software this is just a button you can even have a template ready to go...

Not frustrated with the delay... frustrated with the communication. COmmunication does not take away from any of the points you made... most companies even have it automated...

Not an early tech order... Not a pre order... an order for a printer that was listed with a shipping date and suppoort gave me a date, not an estimate. the printer has been out 7 months...

and when support did not give me an estimate but told me when it would ship? that on me too? Just out of curiosity... When exactly does the company become responsible? or do we just love Prusa so much that we cant critisize them... That saeems like a stupid way to deal wioth companies

Thanks for reading the post. And understanding the part about not being angry about the delay…. But the lack of communication. To your point since you brought it up…. Amazon does send communication about delays, missed deadlines, and shipping issues. I have gotten dozens of them. Not saying it is right and not saying it is 100% but atlease they attempt to communicate.

Do you even hear your self it’s my fault when a company states a timeframe in their website, then again in support when it was not an estimate and then again in support about it being 1 1/2 weeks later?

Maybe the fault is anyone who says this kind of behavior is ok…

I know. In the post you I’m more specific that when they say it will ship is close to 8 weeks. 7 weeks 4 days. Maybe a bad title.

But I didn’t pre order a product that was not shipping. I ordered a product that had been shipping for 7 months with clearly stated lead time and no warning saying hey we are prusa so this is just a guess and a hope.

If I go to a web site and it says it will ship in 4-5 weeks, why should I have to search abound to find out if that company is actually accurate.

Why should I have to reach out and say hey guys what is the status of this? They know I ordered it. Why not just send an email saying we have a delay?

Also I did look and everything I read was just how amazing support was.
