    What I’m worried about is that once one drive fails, then I won’t want to replace it because I want to go full SATA. But then that would mean my NAS storage would shrink and loose data.

    That means that I have to replace all drives to data at the same time, and if I have lots of data on the hardware said SAS drives. How do I transfer all that data to the new drives ?

    Any ideas? The best I can think of is to have 2 pcie cards one with the raid and another data. But how would they share the data if the SATA is not in the hardware raid pool.

    Music is art, and when you realise that, you realise that every little thing in a song was placed there by its creator. It was there to serve a specific role. And once you add the instruments being place a specific way, the lyrics being sung a specific way, and the meaning of the lyrics flying over your head if you zone out for a second. You start to listen to music like you are looking at an art piece in a museum, trying to understand what the creator wanted to achieve, what point did they want to get across, what message did they want to leave on this planet that will live on longer than them.

    This ties into more non mainstream music. Some can agree that most albums are slop all built around one song that become the hit. And that song became the hit because it was built around one part of a chorus that was made so that the song can go viral on tiktok.

    See that kind of music I hate, when the artist puts away the brush and takes out the printer.

    Everything feels the same, sounds the same. More technically speaking, most artists use the same plug ins, sounds, virtual instruments. Everything is strictly on beat, robotic and autotuned to the max.

    That is why older bands and music artists still are so influential and relevant. It’s because they wanted to create something with the limited supplies that they had.

    Like the saying goes: limitations breed creativity

    Its not all lost, still good stuff out there. Sift through the corporations and slop and find something that resonates with you.

    With art and music, amounts of views don’t matter…

    It’s the viewer that makes the music matter.

    Very informative thanks!

    Seems like seagate 4-8tb is the sweet spot. Is there any difference in the models of the segate drives? Or just the iron wolf NAS are the better choice?

    Also, currently can fund all ssds for primary and I’m not that interested in read speeds. I’m more interested in a safe space for files to get stored in without fear of loss.

    I have a old tell server tower, running truenas scale. Once I get a pcie sata card I will set up with raid5.

    And zfs is just a backup of the raid, like a sync?

    And then I think my move would be to get 6 Seagate drives lol

    wow, that’s inspiring.

    I agree that it is a balancing act that one must master. But when one doesn’t yet have their footing in something, it feels like that initial workload is greater then the balance that comes in upholding the hustle in the future.

    Just some thoughts from experience, maybe my weakness is thinking this way. Excuses are a coping mechanism that I’m trying to cut out of my life rn.
