Budget friendly 4tb nvme for a canadian cheapass trying to make own cloud with a geekworm pi nas? in c/datahoarder@lemmy.ml
[–] The0utc4st@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I got the kit for a good deal ($45 CAD +15 shipping) and figured I would fart around with it... I'm now realising I should probably get some smaller nvmes first to play around with this and then setup something with ssd's instead for my mass cloud storage

Okay, so now that my little experiment with a bunch of scam nvme drive from amazon is done and over with and I got my money back from amazon. Where do I look for some cheap and semi decent 4tb nvmes? Adata used to by my goto budget flash memory, never had any problems with any of their drives. But they're not so inexpensive anymore... Team group seems like they have good prices but how reliable are they?

Is prime day or boxing day even a good time to buy drives?

Is there any 4tb nvme under $300(CAD) even worth looking at?

Again, I'm just farting around and experimenting but any suggestion will be greatly appreciated and win you imaginary internet points from a stranger sitting on a porcelain thrown as he writes this.

Don't worry, it's much worse than that now. It's showing 1.63 now and estimated 611h until completion. These are going back to amazon

Sorry, I don't think I worded that properly, these are mew drives I got off amazon, 4tb for $65 each. i'm running a test to see if they're any good or pure garbage using an old computer at work 😅

Might do better if I take the plastic cover off the enclosure... Might do better if I put a heat sink on it... Might do better if they weren't fake nvmes 🤣🤪

So i'm testing one of the drives I got on amazon using an old computer. It started off promising, didn't get any errors when formating the drive, write speed using a usb adapter at 25mb/s... Then it dropped off to 7mb/s and the expected time shot up from 40hours to 156h🤣

I'm going to let it run over night and see what happens in the morning. If I can get it to show 4tb without error I might still keep them to test out my geekworm pi nas, otherwise back to amazon you go!

Just bought 5 of these for my pie nas in c/datahoarder@lemmy.ml

What a shame, I really liked this pen, was working on the nib because it seemed crooked and misaligned...

Can I fix the feed or find a replacement one or is this thing dead?

Scouring through amazon for random stuff yesterday, saw these "generic brand" nvmes for $65 a pop. Figured I's give it a shot for my little geekworm pie nas. 4 for the raid and 1 for backup if something goes boogers up. 20tb for $325 was too good to pass up, worse case scenario they are either 1tb each or they fail after a few months. We'll see whats up when they get here in 2 weeks.

Hydration pack made in Canada? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I was wondering if anybody knew of a hydration pack like a camelback that was made in Canada or at least by canadian owned companies
