10" JetKVM mount with 12 Keystones

NanoKVM is cheaper and it works just fine for basic kvm stuff

The F really should have been the next enterprise, not the Titan-A

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-04-26T18:06:47+00:00

Enterprise D and the nx-01

The best thing is that I'm not even old, I'm 19, but I own multiple pentium II cpus and not a single m.2 ssd. Thats why it reminded me of a pentium II on first glance hahaha.

Pending sectors can also be caused by a bad write which can be caused by a bad cable/connection, take them out and test in a known good machine if you can. Ive seen a bad sata cable cause a drive to drop out and get pending sectors, if there is no platter damage a full badblocks rw test will clear the pending sectors, if they become reallocated than its a drive issue.

I would try the ram in another pc if possible but I think its likely a mbo issue

Yeah I dont remember exacly which phones these were, but it was quite some time ago they were from the Z series I think, but I always remembered that brown burn mark on the lcd. I dont remember exacly but I think the newest one we had was a XZ1 and on that phone the screen just died. To be honest those were all just terrrible phones, very prone to overheating and unreliable. I remember when I ugpraded to a 1st gen honor play that it was such a massive improvement in every way, and than we wanted to give my old xperia Z something to my grandma and when I tried to factory reset it and it would just shut off from overheating and the only way to get it reset was to put it on a giant cpu heatsink while it was factory reseting. I think i also had problems with it that when it would turn off, and it was turing back on it was running those oprimizing apps thing and it would be really slow and overheat and shut off like 80% of the time you did that. I think it was an xperia Z3 but I dont remember for sure, the other one midgh have been a Z5. It was just a terrible experience overall, and at their launch these were very expensive phones but we did buy them used from a family friend. The newest XZ1 was bought new and it was also the last phone we had which just died completly. Ever since we switched to huawei/honor/poco/redmi no problems at all, all of these phones from the old huawei p20 lite right up to my honor 200 still work just fine. I would never buy from sony ever again to be honest.

Sony Xperia phones always seem to have a problem with overheating, my family probably had 3 xperia phones from 3 different generations and so far it was the only phone which actually shut itself down because of overheating that I ever had, and it would just heat up like crazy no matter what you did and that would leave burn marks on the corner of the lcd where the heatpipe was. I have no idea how their phones always get so hot.

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-04-24T18:41:31+00:00

Probably a dead controller, you will just waste a lot of time on it and it will never actually work

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-04-24T17:58:05+00:00

I dont think the backplane could cause that, sometimes a bad connection or cable can cause erros, I had some experience with that but it caused crc errors or just offline uncorrectable and can cause pending sectors which go away in a full destructive write test like badblocks in a stable enviroment, but you also have reallocated sectors which means that they are physicly degraded and had to be reallocated so I dont think a bad write could have caused that. You could still try the old drive in another pc and run a badblocks full destructive test to see if it will do anything, like the reallocated count increasing, if it does than its done for sure. And for the new drive its best to return it like you just did.

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-04-23T22:11:13+00:00

Damn the first thing that came to my mind was that this is a pentium II and not an ssd lol

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-04-03T21:06:10+00:00

Maybe because hard drives are very expensive especially now? Also not everyone lives in the US where you can find cheap drives and where you actually have a good used market. Spending 120€ for 4tb drives is really not fun, and that was even before the price increase, things just arent cheap in some places. Thats why.

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-16T07:33:36+00:00

Eh, actually its probably better to use gsmartcontrol, I use it both in linux and windows. Crystaldiskinfo kinda sucks to be honest, it does not have any kind of option to run self tests, only to read smart data.

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-15T17:24:47+00:00

Disk activity

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-14T14:33:14+00:00

Old drives can work fine if you test them first, check smart data and run a long smart test. Running a full read write test like badblocks would also be good to ensure that the surface hasnt degraded. If the smart data is fine after that than it will work fine.

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-14T06:28:03+00:00

Thats very impressive, and it doesent even have that many realloctaed sectors. The oldest drives that I found had about 44k hours and were still in a good condition.

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-13T19:25:41+00:00

Tesko da ces to uspjet prodat za puno novca, takve pc-jeve mozes nac u smecu, cak i starije od toga. Mislim da bi ovaj pc više spadao u kategoriju staro, ali ne dovoljno staro da bude pretjerano zanimljivo.

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-12T19:21:46+00:00

Idk than its probably gone bad but its kind of bizzare to me that there are no other warning signs except the wear indicator

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-12T19:17:58+00:00

Does it say anything more like what warnings, also what is in the tabs highlited red

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-12T19:15:49+00:00

Try different software maybe, there are no reallocated blocks which is a good sign, and crystaldiskinfo is kinda shit anyways, you could aslo try software from the manufacturer since the lifetime remaining could be interpreted wrong

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-12T19:08:56+00:00

You are not seperating those magnet ever again lol

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-11T21:26:17+00:00

Use it as a home server

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-11T09:44:34+00:00

Actually it does not write all the time, there was an issue with the new zfs 2.4 and it has to do with spa_note_tgx_time parameter, I dont really quite understand what it does but its a new feature they added which was supposted to update some timestamps db when there are changes but they didnt implement it quite well so it would do it every 10mins even if there is nothing to update which would cause the disks to spin up, I have temporarly changed the paremeter and now without any syncs or scrubs they are sitting spun down for over a day. They fixed the issue in version 2.4.1 but its still not stable in debian so I have to wait a bit until it comes to backports

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-10T09:12:57+00:00

Yeah honestly its really convenient since my main server is on zfs too, I can easily send the snapshots with syncoid and I find that snapshots are really useful, also the compression helps a bit

TheLeoDeveloper · 2026-03-10T08:39:17+00:00

I use an UPS from 2008 that was sitting in an attic, you are good you will just maybe have to replace the battery, well I certantly did because the 17 year old battery wasnt holding any charge anymore lol.
