    What are thoughts on using Lenovo M720q, M920q, or M920x Tiny for pfSense install

    looks like the cpus (i5-8500t / i5-8600t / i7-8700t) that come with the 920q all have the same tdp of 35W

    Experiencing network latency/buffering issues

    My current channel on 2.4Ghz is 11. I checked bufferbloat and I have Codel set up limiting 550 at pfSense so since the Flint is not doing any routing, the speed I am seeing on the Flint 2 shouldn't be hitting anywhere near that if I understand the process correctly. To make this even more...

    Recommendations for a RAID 0 enclosure

    I have three 4TB drives I want to combine into a 12TB using RAID 0. This is not for storing mission critical data so if a drive fails, no big deal. I have been researching but can't seem to find a RAID 0 enclosure so trying to find a less expensive option than Synology/QNAP/etc. Just looking...

    I've watched three videos and SMART data is still unclear

    Probably just too smooth brained. The read error rate and seek error seem off. Not sure if this is ok. This is a Seagate Expansion Desktop 14TB, External Hard Drive, USB 3.0. This has been run through iteration of badblocks with 0/0/0 errors. badblocks -wsv -b 4096 /dev/sdc

    Are these the best steps to thoroughly test a hard drive?

    Agreed. The only issue with mine is one of the NICs stopped working. Other than that been running solid for almost 10 years.
