    SSD Health conflicting messages

    HWInfo64 and CrystalDiskInfo are pulling the SMART (self monitoring and reporting technology) information directly from the drive. Can you post a screenshot from CrystalDiskInfo? Most likely the drive should be replaced and you should 100% have your data you need backed up somewhere else.

    Pixel 8 / Pixel 8 Pro / Pixel 8a

    Ok... but when SIM swapping people usually don't have the different phones on their person all the time. That's different than carrying around two phones.

    Not really anymore, when you have phones that can run two phone numbers (2 eSIM, 2 pSIM, or 1 eSIM + 1pSIM).

    New router for 2.5g

    That has a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot on it too, so you can add a 10GbE NIC to it. Note: it doesn't fit flush with the side of the case so you'll have to remove/bend the NIC bracket or use an PCIe riser/extender. Load up a free open source firewall like OPNsense. Add a network switch and access point...

    Arista ending Untangle Home License

    What firewall did you change to? I'm not really aware of other firewalls (either FOSS or inexpensive licensing) that have feature parity with Untangle. OPNsense + ZenArmor (as kydsid mentioned) can probably get you like 80% there.

    Which NIC for security?

    Chelsio NICs might fit the bill.

    So is it true you can plug SATA drives into SAS connectors?

    You can physically plug in a SATA drive into a SAS connector, but not vice versa. I think it depends on the controller if the drive will work. I'm used to using LSI HBAs like the 9211-8i and they work with either SATA or SAS.

    Any Prosumer/Enterprise-ish Wireless Access Points I'm missing?

    TP Link Omada. I have two EAP660 HD APs and they are fantastic. The Omada controller can be used with a hardware appliance, you can self host it, or pay a cloud subscription (IIRC $5 per AP). I run a docker container. If you've used the Unifi controller to manage Ubiquiti, the Omada...

    Best CPU upgrade options?

    Keep the router you bought, you just need a standalone DOCSIS modem. Just buy a modem approved for your ISP rather than lease one for the $5/month or whatever. Combo modem/routers are usually not great. Coax connects to your modem, then an ethernet cable from the modem to your WAN port on...

    Long Boot Time for AM5 Normal?

    I eat the longer POST time to have a faster and more stable system. Power down mode should be disabled on a desktop, and you can't run this with MCR on.
