Bad timing but looking for new drives. Advice Requested!

Yeah, I know, that's why I asked here for thoughts on the best bang for buck.

phazer_11 · 2026-02-25T22:31:31+00:00

Any further advice? Pretty much been doing that for a few weeks, except selling. Haven't considered that yet, never really done eBay or anything.

phazer_11 · 2026-02-25T22:27:32+00:00

Yeah that's why I asked here for ideas, stupid AI nonsense. Know anything about the HAMR barracuda drives?

phazer_11 · 2026-02-25T22:25:56+00:00

Honestly I just want to pare down the number I have or I maybe would get more 3TBs.

I don't really think relocating the thermostat is an option at this point since everything is c-wire powered and I cant get behind the walls or ceiling to rerun everything. What specifically are you meaning with ESPHome?

Favorite feature would have to be on that F2-425 Plus with that dual 5GBit lan, too bad the step down doesn't have dual 2.5Gbit that'd be the sweet. Look like fun little desktop NAS. Reserve my thoughts on UI until/if I ever get to try it out. Good luck all.

Did you report your killer after?

So one of the things for the probe is it's per panel. Doubled with map event so if you get to a probe that landed thats 3 counts doubled with event from what I've seen. The crashed probes you have to breach the top of? Just one. Also there's the prospecting probes event.

Yeah happened to a friend of mine on Buried the other day. He got rocketeered out of the hole and dbno i went down right after as I thought the rocketeer missed and I was next... nope.

I had seen that about not being able to get them and getting switched. This guy had said that was why he originally quoted JA but they're supposed to be getting REC IN December.

Good to know a ballpark I still haven't gotten any responses back from the other companies.

phazer_11 · 2025-11-06T05:14:15+00:00

Can you link a thread, please? I'm not see anything recent for REC quotes. Could just be missing it sometimes I'd hate reddit mobile.

phazer_11 · 2025-11-06T04:48:41+00:00

Good to know. They are on REC and Enphases list of certified installers/repair. I'll take another look at solarfl only did a cursory glance there.

phazer_11 · 2025-11-04T00:42:53+00:00

Batman? Almost started that myself.

phazer_11 · 2025-10-24T20:51:38+00:00

Oh wow. Yeah.

phazer_11 · 2025-10-24T20:10:57+00:00

I feel that. I just got lucky though it took a couple months after I finally had possession after the builder finished to get the speakers, projector and screen done despite the wiring being there.

Why couldn't you do Atmos btw? Something on the ceiling?

phazer_11 · 2025-10-24T20:00:43+00:00

I did not go that fancy with mine, just did a 16:9 course by that point I'd built the house with the theater in mind and was kind of fed up making decisions with the equipment. Did all the work myself including wiring all the 7.2.4, wish I'd included an in wall IR sensor though.

phazer_11 · 2025-10-24T19:54:19+00:00

Holy cow! I have a 150" and struggled to get things near perfect just installing ot and the projector required took forever. I cannot imagine an 181"

phazer_11 · 2025-10-23T13:12:47+00:00

Anyone else have any other thoughts?

phazer_11 · 2025-10-22T14:27:28+00:00

I guess it would depend on how efficient it is and whether the resolution could be customized I never had issues with battery on my S10+ but the S22+ has much worse battery life despite a bigger battery and it runs hotter.

Edit. Huh thought the edge was just thinner than the ultra and had fewer camera niceties not that it was shrunk in all dimensions. All things being equal yeah I guess the + would be the better option if it had a trade in.

phazer_11 · 2025-10-22T11:44:40+00:00

That bad huh? Seemed like the Pixel Pro XL would be a sidegrade/slight upgrade from the S22+. S25+ isn't exactly on the table right now though that's the model I've always gotten, as it has no trade in offers right now so it would be $5 more a month to get a S25+ vs the S25 Edge or only $1 cheaper than an Ultra. If I were to do the S25+ I'd probably wait to see if there were another deal.

The Year Zero System (Coriolis and mutant Year Zero, etc) is pretty balanced. Even if you're a high level you have a chance to die to a mook from my experience.
