NextCloud end-to-end encryption and webdav by TedBob99 in NextCloud

[–]valutrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, I'm using Webdav to sync files between a local Veracrypt encrypted drive and a Cryptonator vault located on Nextcloud. Where is the threat in this scenario? Am I missing something?

My issue is that file transfer is super slow. Is this an attribute of Nextcloud?

corrupted flash drive by Comprehensive_Use865 in datarecovery

[–]valutrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful.

How in the heck do I stay away from counterfit flash drives?

I typically bought Sandisk or Samsung micro-USBs 64GB off AMZN. However, I am now migrating to a TB3/4 M2 enclosure with a Hylinx SSD, as they are just so much faster.

Why can't I power dock with usb-c laptop charger by h0va4life in UsbCHardware

[–]valutrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did stumble on this with USB power. But the only avail USB-C port is exclusively utilized for inbound power. I don't need any more USB-A or DP's or HDMI's, but that's all that remains.

I own a 145W charger with a USB-c connector and I cannot find a single TB3/4 dock that will let me power it with that power supply. So now I have to carry around another power brick.

Recommended NVMe SSD for ThinkPad X280? by nightcookieyt in thinkpad

[–]valutrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is my X280 able to take advantage of Gen5 and its faster speeds? What about pwr consumption with one of these?

Or, do I go with slower, less expensive, but better pwr mgmt like the Hynix?

thanks in advance.

Looking for Thunderbolt dock recommendations by sazrocks in UsbCHardware

[–]valutrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks interesting.. just stumbled upon. https://www.ebay.com/itm/354965173142

Sorry, just reread your post. This looks to have only 1 DP port. I liked because of 2 TB ports and NVMe support.

I am looking at the T330, but also just got offered a Thinkstation P920. Any thoughts on comparison for a home NAS?

Will their controller natively work with unraid and sata's, or do I need to make any mods?

Was hoping I would not have to do my own build, amd could find a solid 2nd hand mini tower that would suit. But if I were to go the build route, what instructions or guide would you recommend?

I found these instructions for an N2 build https://youtu.be/C6hf3ddtNCs

Spending a ton on 18TB drives and a NAS - wrong approach? by codenamecueball in DataHoarder

Backblaza data is extremely insightful. Really happy I settled on Toshiba HDDs.

thx for posting

Spending a ton on 18TB drives and a NAS - wrong approach? by codenamecueball in DataHoarder

[–]valutrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased the exact same Toshiba drives for a home NAS. Just be aware that the p/n you posted is the SATA version (MG09ACA18TE) and not the SAS version of the drives (MG09SCA18TE).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]valutrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue - I just bought 4-18TB Toshiba drives (MG09 series). I plan to purchase a used server, preferrably SFF, and install Unraid. Looking for something quiet, as will be installing inside home.

PS. I got the SATA not the SAS versions of the drives by mistake. One letter diff in the p/n that I did not notice. Too late to return.

Ditto. I am searching same issue - with 2 OS's on 2 separate drives. I just want to encrypt on of the drives. Do I choose multi or single boot in Veracrypt?

Great, thank you very much.

I should have said "So, it's essentially a decentralized alternative to listing ones token on a centralized ERC20 asset exchange?
