Are you buying a cam or borrowing the same one? If you are borrowing again, you know the model? That will help us give better advice.

91·7 days agoJust read through article and it directly addresses this.
The reason the criteria are relaxed is because of higher hardware specs for the Machine and the fact that the Deck has a small screen. Basically, the Deck has more physical constraints. As the Deck ages, less games will remain compatible.
Clair Obscura still looks like ass on a steam deck? There was a patch that came through several months ago that increased playability. I was playing with a 10yo video card and originally had abysmal graphics. I didn’t push settings, but I was able to get to the point where terrain and people made sense.
I think I might have one I can’t use. Might be 2 TB.
I bought it as an experiment to use with my NAS, but my SAS card is running in SATA mode and won’t recognize it with an adapter.
If you or someone wants to have me ship it to you (you pay postage and send me the pdf for the label) PM me.
Hah, if you are near Cincinnati, I have a system with 6 SATA ports I just rebuilt for $30.
Look, if you were looking to have more options handed to you, you are in the right place!
TrueNAS is a great diy option. I have it running on an old box of mine. The one real caveat is that you will need enough hard drive slots (don’t just hang them unless you go full SSD), 4+ SATA ports or add in a SAS card, enough PSU to handle all your drives, and enough memory.
I am running one SAS card and 16 GB of DDR 3. Since the attached image I have taken pics of the serial numbers and labeled the drives.

I saw you fixed it, but the typo brightened my morning.
It depends.
If it’s your own sister, then you learn to deal with her. If anything, adding a sister is fine as long as you have the resources. Removing a sister has legal proceedings upfront or after the fact, depending on your method.
Switching between romantic partners who happen to be sisters with each other can be risky! Lingering affection, jealousy, and inadequacy may all come into play here.
Personally, I dated one sister only to find that the younger one fancied me after well after we broke up. I found it difficult to separate the relationships and never pursued it. My brother-in-law dated my other sister-in-law first, and moved to his wife after a mutual understanding.
Finally, romantic entanglements with your own sister is discouraged. Not only is it illegal in many countries, having a child with your sister invites genetic disorders.
Maybe getting in front of it and offering to direct it somehow? It’s still a business, and while growth isn’t the goal, it may help secure funding.
Not that I know, I really am just guessing.
Honestly, I sold an XP media center with Mint on it for $20. I was exceedingly clear on the capabilities
2·2 months agoI’m suggesting either using the secure erase utility built into your efi if available or using hdparm and calling secure erase.

I suggest calling these utilities with no other drives connected.
True, but it’s not clear to me that both drives are exhibiting the behavior and it sounds more like a copy between two drives. I wouldn’t rule it out and do think it is a possibility, but in my professional experience drives fail much more frequently than controllers.
It makes sense to me to test the drives individually, in another system preferably, using smart long test, which is non-destructive. Next test other drives in this system. If there are errors, try changing out the SATA cables, too. If you can shuffle the data off the drives, do so and then try running them through a secure erase in another system. A bad drive should fail the same way in another system.
My other thought for probably not being the controller is that 4TB is a very long time for a sustained transfer to fail on a flakey component. Also, there are no reports of other errors.
Sounds like a bad drive, TBH. Not as much the platters but the electronics.
If you can move all the data off and do a secure erase on it, it will tell you all lot.
1·2 months agoI can’t recommend Mint more. I ran it for years, only switching to Fedora for a newer kernel.
Great info. That makes a lot of sense.
Not sure the devs do either. The gameplay seemed interesting, but it appeared to be a lot of Minecraft mechanics.
I’d try it for $10.
The last board suggested with 5 ports would handle 4 drives in raidz2.
This is smaller even. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hRBrxr/asrock-motherboard-970mpro3
I would prefer having the smaller board with the hba and putting 8-10 smaller drives in raidz3. That would give you 6 TB with three drives for failure to prevent loss.
Outside the drives, the cost would be under $200 for the board and the hba.
If you have an old system with two PCI-e 16 ports, then your cost is about $90 before you start buying drives.
I’m doing similar with a DDR3 system and spinning 1 TB disks. It’s fast enough to serve video streams.
Ok, so if you want to do a bunch of drives in a box:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yFWJ7P/crucial-bx500-4-tb-25-solid-state-drive-ct4000bx500ssd1
However, that’s expensive. I would go with spinning disks.
If you want to bring the cost down more,
You can drive the price down more by buying a used system.
The pile of SSDs will be easiest to stuff into a box.
You will need to get creative with cooling.
There appears to be many wireless options available. While there is no off the shelf option available, you may be able to automate connecting to the Wi-Fi of the cam and pulling the files from a Windows share. From there, you could put the files on a share for a service like photoprism.
If the only way up interface with it is through an app, and you don’t have an old smartphone to run the app, then you could consider running an android emulator.
