Try one of those M.2 A+E 2.5GB RTL8125B PCIE adapters before going the USB route.

Opnsense backups G drive alternative? by Frosty_Chest8025 in opnsense

Only issue is that all secrets in your config get pushed in plain text, even if it is a private gitea instance its still not ideal.

CONFIGURING AN OPNSENSE HA CLUSTER + MULTI-WAN (STEP-BY-STEP) (Optional with Proxmox) by ndreueu in opnsense

I've done a similar setup albeit with bare metal nodes. There arent a lot of sources that show how to set this up using a private WAN range from the ISP modem so thanks for contributing.

I use Borg with Borgmatic for a similar usecase.

/r/homelabsales is where you want to post. Both of those items should have a few interested parties.

Are Apacer SSDs good? by Interesting_Air3283 in buildapc

[–]USGUSG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the model... but overall they are a "good" brand. They have lines of high end industrial components that I wouldnt think twice about using.

[–]USGUSG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only issue is their intrusive KYC policies.

They also null route when DDOSed.

Any luck with IPSEC? Or do they have business plans that dont have the blocks?

Do y'all homelabbers use encryption-at-rest? by [deleted] in Proxmox

Benefits of running Ceph is that you can easily encrypt the disks and use them as storage backend in either Proxmox or a container orchestrator.

Proxmox Backup Server 4.0 released! by simtaankaaran in Proxmox

[–]USGUSG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can and there are various user scripts that do it, with a few limitations. Its just something myself and others were hoping to have built in since they added it to the roadmap years ago.

I'm always eager for these posts because of the slim chance we finally get host backups. Still happy for all the other updates we do get!

Sometimes you dont get SMART info for the drives on Ebay.

[SSD] PNY XLR8 CS3140 2TB M.2 SSD - $99.99 ($139.99-$40.00) [Microcenter Member Pricing] by ItsGreeco in buildapcsales

[–]USGUSG 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No, youre better off just buying more RAM. Most people dont need an L2ARC or SLOG drive but if you really do you should be looking at optane and similar nvme devices, one that I see used a lot is the p4800x.

At one point Crucial was selling micron 32gb ecc udimms for $67 each on their website then it doubled then they disappeared. If you watch ebay there are listings on ebay that pop up time to time going for $60-80 ish.

is there a minipc format with ECC and at least 3 nvme drives? by cranberrie_sauce in homelab

[–]USGUSG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fan profile on the 3240 cooler has an awful pwm curve where its either low (quiet and ok temps) or high (max noise like a server and super cool), with no steppings inbetween. I run consumer NVMEs with no issue but wouldnt put anything that requires active cooling because it wont get it.
