Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
They are all CMR, SMR drives are terrible for NAS. Red just means they are meant for NAS use. Gold drives are their enterprise/data center drives. I bought them in the EasyStore drives because they are much cheaper that way. I previously thought they were all Red drives until I printed out the...
I have 16x WD 8TB drives that I am upgrading in my NAS. These are mostly shucked from easystore external drives, and are a mix of Red and Gold Helium drives. I will include the enclosure if you want them.
Most of the drives have around 64,000 hours, but saw very low use as a Plex media server...
Just to give you another option, the one below is what I got for my NAS, which allowed me 13 drives with an ICY dock 3-into-5 adapter.

Another option is the one I am upgrading to with 18 drives...
I have a Dell 1409X that I used for this same purpose, had some great backyard movie nights on a 12' inflatable screen. The one I have was a replacement from insurance after the original was stolen. It has been barely used (less than 20 hours) since I got it 6 years ago. Displayed HD movies no...
I just have to say that I am a bit surprised at the "outrage" at the performance numbers. Real-time ray tracing has been the holy grail of rendering since the 90s. The fact that we have this at all in a package that fits an everymans computer at a relatively reasonable price point is absolutely...
Lots of the ones to convert a usb device to PS/2, but the ones to convert a PS/2 to USB were always kinda tough to get to work right. I am sure I have one more left that converts a PS/2 keyboard and mouse to USB, but like I said I wouldn't trust it.
I am cleaning out my parts closet a bit more, and have a bunch of cables and adapters available for the cost of shipping them. Especially for older systems using serial, parallel, and ps/2 adapters, I have a bunch.
Power cables, ethernet cables, vga/dvi/hdmi, power adapters of all kinds. Floppy...
