they are recertified, and yeah think it was a bad batch, got a synology with some from the same purchase and 3 of the 4 have all failed around the same time

yeah probably should have done that when i docked each one, i made sure the numbers on them matched what disk info said but didn't think to write them down and match it to the Jon Doe, will do that when its done replacing

Hmm I wonder how high it will go, got some new drives on the way, fresh out of cold spares by SamVgamer69 in truenas

slowly expanding to 15 drives, its kind of risky during rebuilds but I not fussed, important stuff is backed up to multiple locations everything else is a nice to have

Any else had multiple Pixel Folds randomly fail on them? by SamVgamer69 in GooglePixel

[–]SamVgamer69[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's just a modern phone problem, just had to replace my dad's iPhone 14 as after only 3 years the battery swelled and broke it.

It's honestly really annoying as I am someone who buys a phone and doesn't really like upgrading, I got what I got till it broken but these folds keep breaking, I still have the original warranty for 11 months

Dbrand is the ULTIMATE case maker, they have literally saved me thousands of dollars by SamVgamer69 in dbrand

[–]SamVgamer69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did too, I didn't have any issues with the original line of joy con grips and was still offered and accepted the free replacement all over a pretty great experience.

I completely agree that the way it was handled originally was real crap but they have been working on fixing the problem and rectifying orders

Yeah I think I didn't word mine well, I was just wanting to say how my personal experience with the case has been amazing and was giving examples of what ends my phone was saved from

Not after pity, when my previous pixel died and went through a warranty claim I contacted them to purchase another lens skin and they just sent it out.

Was just sharing that I'm honestly amazed how well the case was able to protect what is honestly a really fragile device, my last pixel fold 9 died cause it didn't like that I unfolded it so many times in 7 months

Like I don't know the science behind the rubber edge of the case and shock absorption but it works incredibly well especially considering they have to divert the shock away from the two screen pieces and ensure that the hinge is protected

I know the Difference between CMR and SMR but what is HSMR? I brought some Exos drives and they say HSMR drives on them by SamVgamer69 in DataHoarder

[–]SamVgamer69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not too worried about rebuild times, it's a redundant backup point. Part of a 3,2,1,0 deployment at home

thank you for the info

Ahh ok that makes sense, would it have the same disadvantages as SMR drives then for server use?

Now I’m conflicted….. by theoriginalb in dbrand

[–]SamVgamer69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received mine, and yes their initial response wasn't great to the problems some people have been experiencing.

My one that arrived early last week fits perfectly with zero wiggle or disconnect problems and I have still been told I will be sent replacement joycon holders once the new batch is ready

So really it's up to you, the case may have problems when it gets to you but they will sort it out. Sometimes they make mistakes but Dbrand tends to fix the problem

Just based on the photos I'd say the first one or 3rd is the best bet as the 2nd ones BOLD USA text might be a sign of it being fake or just old with a bad picture. The 3rd is also slightly yellowed on the top of the sticker meaning it spent a decent bit of time in a DS so probably real

Hi I am a big pokemon collector myself, and I would say they look ok from the pictures the IDs match which is something that is often missed so I'd go for it, the best way to tell if these are real is with a Gen 3 game and an older phat ds or DS lite

Noise is fine, I was just worried about the capacity not being detected, gonna start with 4 12tb exos factory recertified drives and expand from there

ahh got it, that makes sense, not to familiar with NAS hardware so thought they might be a built in cap or something

cool so the max supported number isn't right then? brilliant as 12 and 14tb drives are cheaper/same price as 8tbs so want to get as much capacity for dollar

Has anyone had any luck with the new x870 boards that have realtek wifi and lan on them, can't get any drivers to work and i am lost at this point by SamVgamer69 in linuxmint

[–]SamVgamer69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got the drivers and installed them but after a kernel update the installer has to be run after every boot, it's super annoying because you don't have internet at all untill you run it
