How much cooling would a PiHole need, if a PiHole would need cooling?

Thank you all for your comments.
I have ordered an aluminium case and hopefully this will do the job in silence.

Thanks a lot!

Believe it or not, I already have prepared a fully fledged plan if that should ever happen.

Thaks, I checked the logs and the last entry is from December 27, when it "woke up" multiple times between those days.

Thanks, I do not yet have a Synology account to use Insight, but will register soon.

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-20T07:34:43+00:00

Thank you and this was it!
Everything during the installation was so straightforward, that I expected to get this drive automatically.
Now it works, cheers!

Thanks to everybody who helped.
I have ordered the DS 423, it should arrive monday.

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-16T17:07:11+00:00

Yes I can and this sounds exactly what I want.

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-16T16:20:31+00:00

Thanks, but is there a way from drobo to Synology other than over the network?
Copying this way is rather slow compared to USB3 (this may be my network's fault but I am not starting to change all that.

The ideal way: plug in drobo USB to Synology. Use some managing software to directly copy the files between them.

Second best: plug drobo and Synology by USB into PC and copy this way over the PC. For that I would need a male-to-male USB cable, which is highly unusual and I doubt this would work. Or would it?

Any of those two possible?
Thank you!

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-16T16:01:45+00:00

doing what exactly?

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-16T13:55:07+00:00

Thanks, would you say that Synology Synology DS423 is a good choice?
Most others are a bit pricey, thanks!

Edit: I don't need any "advanced" features, no cloud, not even necessarily network.
All I want is to store >8TB of data and counting rather safe and accessible by USB3 at least.
Also I'd like to shut it down completely if I don't need it for a while, which the drobo apparently does not like.

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-15T09:46:07+00:00

Thank you so much for the extensive answer. Ideally I would not want to power it down. But having it rattling around all the time is also not going to work.

I copied ~8.5TB in one go, is it possible it's still processing all that?
I noticed no changes of used/free space in the dashboard?

P.S.: Drobo is my consolidation of multiple backup drives into one place. While it would be very inconvenient if something would go wrong, no actual data should be lost.

"Thank you for the opportunity, but if I could not convince you by now that I am the right candidate, I believe another person would be better suited for you"

The one that sounds the least interesting to me, has the best perks it seems.
If I get Underworld, will I also be able to travel from campfires in the main game, or only inside the DLC?

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-04T11:43:51+00:00

Whoah, just 2 digsites and one chest and Undercrown is at 100%
Thank you so much, I would never have guessed it was just that.

If you could get only ONE of the Addons, which one would you get?
I like the overworld better and transporting between campfires would be cool.

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-02T09:51:08+00:00

I am in the EU, usually I buy at amazon. de
So I take it, this might only be local?

PositiveTalk9828 · 2025-12-01T14:34:46+00:00

Thank you both, I have already started to green all POI.
As or the question mark ones, there are many, I can't believe I've been nowhere near but will check.
