As with all things backups, testing and maintenance is key.

If there were ones that vibrated or had interference enough to affect neighboring units, that would be marketing points. As it is now, no one mentions any of those points. It’s all capacity, I/O and features.

If there were units that showed any of those issues, the reviews would tell.

This unit is basically dead silent in normal operation. During charging and discharging there is an audible hum, but nothing else. I haven’t noticed any vibration or ZFS scrubs reporting corrections.

That’s not true either. Byte can be both powers of 10 and powers of 2. When talking about storage devices like hard drives etc. we usually refer to them in powers of 10, but OS’s usually do it in powers of 2. That’s why your hard drive looks smaller than advertised.

Bits are used for flash memory as individual chips. Assembled devices such as RAM and memory cards are advertised in bytes. I’m imagining that the same goes for hard drive platters and possibly disc media as well.

Would’ve loved to gotten one of those. But the power consumption of a Xeon is a bit higher than I’d like. This was a nice to have, not need to. It was a Christmas gift from my wife 🥰

God Jul!

Not to be that guy, but I don’t really find the picture that amazing. 5/10. It’s a rally car. Probably har to compose for and get in focus as it’s moving fast so props for that.

Possible improvements:

• The picture is kind of dark and lackluster. Lifting the shadows and increasing the contrast a bit might help.
• There is no real sense of speed. Slowing down the shutter speed a fraction and tracking the car would give some background motion blur.
• The background doesn’t tell us much. A bit tighter crop might make us see more detail in the car instead.

Obviously all of this is my subjective opinion. Take it for what it is. A strangers opinion on the internet. Thank you for sharing!
