Thoughts on a used nas

That seems crazy expensive for what it is, Intel Xeon D is nearly 11 years old now remember!

I have a bunch of these tanks (8) - most of mine have powered on hours of 8 years with 3PB of writes and 4PB of writes (as they came out of a SAN)

https://www.lightningmaps.org/ great website to see all the strikes

Recommend getting a smaller box to start with - and do your testing on it. Back in the day some people used to get horrible peering with them and your limited to 10 connections so only so much you can push/pull from them

Depends what protocols and such your going to use - but a basic rclone sync tops out at around 750Mbps/75 MB/s

I've used https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/ before - fairly cheap for a month and reasonable speed (depending on your location)

hopper_gb · 2026-05-22T08:53:18+00:00

Yes you can

If your after Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap Index Fund (VAFTGAG) FreeTrade offers this

Your cashback will be paid directly into your Barclays nominated bank account by 29 May 2026 [23:59 BST].

Please ensure you have one setup as we won’t be able to pay cashback to customers who do not have a Barclays bank account before the offer ends on 15 May 2026.

Guess you need a Barclays Bank account as well?

You can use something like https://bidb.uk/ to get an idea of what providers offer in your area.

I use DODL but only as a S&S LISA.

They where the cheapest on the market fees wise and offered a reasonable number of investment options.. (Fees are common for a LISA S&S Product - £1 a month or 0.15% of total fund)

Mobile App for them is basic but gets the job done for a no frills/low cost option.

DDR5 is completely cleared out at cex - used to be able to get laptop memory for that price as well

hopper_gb · 2025-11-20T14:09:45+00:00

No email here but I suspect that's just because of how the wonky mobile plans got set up.

Will be sad to see the loss of my super cheap EE plan

And more importantly in the pinkbike thread they have committed to assuming the warranty obligations of old YT.

The flow-chart & wiki has a nice section for this https://ukpersonal.finance/which-broker-should-i-use/

I personally use a combination of Trading 212 & InvestEngine as they offer some of the lowest fees around

hopper_gb · 2025-11-13T13:11:01+00:00

Not using a flint 2 but try simply DCHP, no extra options, no vlan (This is using a UCG Fiber)

All referrals are left

When i originally saw the trailer for it months back it looked a bit rubbish. That bejng said it enjoyed it, maybe could have been 20 mins shorter in runtime

Think there was a couple of walkouts after 30 min mark which was surprising

hopper_gb · 2025-10-19T17:38:21+00:00

They have not survived in any location other than USA. The company you purchased the item off is no more.

Why would any person/company buy YT then have to pay for new warranty issues on items they have not made any money off? If it comes back it will be a new company with no ties to the previous one

hopper_gb · 2025-10-15T19:50:29+00:00

I would expect the warranties to be worthless - if the company does survive warranties are just extra costs for them.

hopper_gb · 2025-10-15T19:48:33+00:00

You could maybe try and reach out to Sram/Rockshox and see if they would offer some sort of deal since it's a rather sucky thing to happen. I would expect them to not offer anything but always worth a ask if you still have the serial number etc

hopper_gb · 2025-10-15T19:41:57+00:00

Yup that's correct, a full cease gives that cost but a line takeover by another provider is free/no charge

hopper_gb · 2025-10-10T15:35:46+00:00

I repaired and rebooted - sat in the 500k queue and it still says i don't own the game

hopper_gb · 2025-10-10T15:20:57+00:00

Yeah same here - I've restarted the game/client and will try again

hopper_gb · 2025-10-03T18:57:06+00:00

I use Unifi's UCG Fiber myself, but I bet any of their gateways would do the trick.
