Replace Dell SATA II 2 TB HDD in c/pcmasterrace@lemmy.world
[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have a U-Green SSD reader that I needed to test an SSD in the past. The drive was a bust but the tool was neat! I’ll go looking for the HDD version too. Does… it supply power too?

Thank you so much for your deep analysis and help in reading these charts 😄 I have moved all my Plex content out of there and I'll make a list of the Programs installed on there. There are some downloads and other folders, mostly related to software installs and experiments I've run over time, which I'll have to catalog and hopefully move.

The disk isn't making any clicking/grinding noises. At least, none that I can hear through the chassis.

As for the chkdsk command, seems like Victoria can also do that, but you would prefer the system tool?

Unfortunately, I do not have any option but to continue to use the disk for now. I'll minimize the use, but it'll take me a while to get a replacement disk. Hopefully it holds on till then!

I see you're a professional. So thank you for all your time! The data on there isn't the "can't lose" variety, but I'll get Teracopy on the task asap!

The quick result looks like this -

thank you for your detailed answer! Quick questions -

  1. Your links for the CMR list says Barracuda has 1 TB in CMR and others in SMR. So that would mean this one is definitely SMR, right? - ST2000LM015 - https://www.amazon.ca/Seagate-Barracuda-2-5-Inch-Internal-ST2000LM015/dp/B01LX13P71
  2. Funnily enough, an IronWolf 4 TB CMR is a tad cheaper than a Barracuda 2 TB SMR. Why would that be? - https://www.amazon.ca/Seagate-IronWolf-Internal-Hard-Drive/dp/B09NHV3CK9/142-0881699-7695956
  3. I reckon these drives won't ship with external tooling so I could move data around... what's my best bet to remove and clone? I have a MacBook Pro with a bunch of USB-C ports... Or would I be better off running a live distro of Linux on that Windows desktop and just using dd inside there?

I agree that more storage is better than less. I have an external drive that's 14 TB and I couldn't be happier with it!

I ran the test and have attached a screenshot of the results here. Does this make sense to you? The "quick" scan took well over 3 hours! 😅

Update: I see the screenshot now. It seems I ran the full scan instead! Damn!

Replace Dell SATA II 2 TB HDD (lemmy.world)
 

Hi!

After a long time, my Dell SATA II 2 TB HDD has started showing yellow on CrystalDisk.

The recommendation seems to be to get data out of it sooner than later and replace it.

My main usecase for it is as the main space where I install Windows programs and store Plex media. My C drive is SSD but much smaller. This HDD is D drive.

Seagate's selling an 8 TB SSD for CAD$189 and a 2 TB one for CAD $101.

Question for you good folks -

  1. Anything I can do before I consider throwing money at this problem? Bad/Unrecoverable sectors seem to be at 100. But is there still a way I can get more life out of this drive? Or is it living it's last breaths?
  2. What HDD should I go for? I'm optimizing for price and the use cases I mentioned above.
  3. If I do go the replacement route, what's the best way for me to move drives? Should I clone the old to the new or copy files one by one? I do want to maintain the Program Files status of D drive. So I would be making the new drive as my D drive. Any FOSS tools for this transition?

Thanks!

I hope so too! I'm not running a lot on this box. Just a few containers and avahi.

temp

I installed a thing called lm-sensors on debian and it shows me this during a time when the box is struggling -

Every 1.0s: sensors

coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +44.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 0: +38.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 1: +39.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 2: +39.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 3: +39.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

acpitz-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface temp1: +0.0°C (crit = +119.0°C)

Seems to be working fine.

Unless the thermal throttling limits are set by the BIOS and I'll have to go looking into that by rebooting?

Resources also seemed ok - RAM was 2 GB used out of 16 and all the cores were at 10-15% usage, according to htop.

I set it up last night. Network share would be too easy to corrupt apparently, so I hustled copied over the files and started fresh. Once in a while, I’ll move files back to my “original” install.

I don’t use calibre web yet. I only use calibre’s inbuilt web service thing. Does theme park work with that too?

Also, I have calibre running on windows and I don’t run docker on that (for reasons). So can I use calibre web on a separate system on the network and have it connect to the calibre db somehow over the wire?

Theme park add on? Tell me more!

Could you tell me more about the non standard implementation? Coz I just use composerize to convert docker run commands to compose (or if I find compose files then hooray!) and pop those into portainer. Seems to work fine. I don’t like that a lot of features seem to be hidden behind a costly subscription, but thems the brakes.

As for proxmox… is it lighter weight than Debian?

Portainer on Debian or Proxmox? (lemmy.world)
 

Folks,

I have an Intel N5095 2 GHz box, with 16 GB RAM and 500 GB sitting below my desk. It's a teeny tiny box with no fan or anything.

I'm currently running Debian server on it with Portainer on top to run some *arr services. I'm thinking of running some more. But the device seems to groan under the weight of the services already running.

Was just watching a video about proxmox, and it seems to be a better solution if I don't need to run Portainer on top of an OS. Maybe it'll be lower resource usage?

So, thoughts? Should I change it up from Debian to proxmox? Or should I stick to what is already running? I am running Debian because I read somewhere that it's the lowest resource hog of all Linux server options.

Alternatively, should I stick to Debian and portainer but use it with something like podman as it might use less resources than docker-ce?

tailscale friendly app dashboard (lemmy.world)
 

Folks,

When I’m at home, I’ve got Heimdall setup to let me into my applications easily.

When I’m away, I use tailscale to get into my home network. But I end up having to put in the URLs of the applications manually.

What options do I have? Do I setup another Heimdall instance with all the URLs as tailscale friendly?

Is there another dashboard solution out there that maybe takes the base URL of the dashboard and uses that to build the URLs of the applications?

So if I go to home.local then all the apps point to home.local:port and if I get to the dashboard using home.ts.net, then all the apps become home.ts.net:ports

Any suggestions or recommendations of dashboards that do this?

What to replace an Nvidia GTX 1080 with (lemmy.world)
 

Hey team,

Years ago, SO gifted me an Alienware Aurora R7.

It has an Intel I7-8700 and Nvidia GTX 1080 (8GB VRAM), 16 GB of DDR 4 RAM. (what else is relevant to this question?)

My question to you is basically this -

Given that I'm not gaming with it anymore, I want to use it for only two things -

  1. Plex Server
  2. Running random local LLM stuff like Kotaemon (https://github.com/Cinnamon/kotaemon)

Let's say I have $1000 to throw at a GPU and I'd like to get 16 GB VRAM (or 24 if it's possible). I want to install it myself rather than take it into a shop.

What's a GPU I can buy that will fit,

  1. within my budget?
  2. within the chassis?
  3. with the CPU and motherboard without issues?
  4. with the needs I've detailed (namely Plex transcoding, and running ML models)?

I am an absolute noob when it comes to figuring out what hardware to buy (hey, we got us an Alienware sucker here).

So lemmings, help me out! I'd rather not ask ChatGPT.

Adblock and VPN all in one? (lemmy.world)
 

I love PiHole. I've used it in the past and it was powerful! I also use an OpenVPN/Wireguard based VPN.

So is there a service that combines the two features? Lets me import adblock lists and also VPN configurations?

Preferably something that runs in a docker container that I can throw upon portainer and running within minutes!

Thanks!

Self-hosted GitHub alternative? (lemmy.world)
 

Folks,

I'm looking for a self-hosted GitHub alternative that I can just plop into Portainer as a docker-compose and get working.

My main interest is in something that sort of works with GitHub - if there's a way I can pull repos from GitHub into this self-hosted git using a webUI and maybe even push my changes to repos on GitHub, that would be nice. I'm not hard-and-fast on this though as this is mostly an experiment right now and I don't know why I need this.

What are you folks using to host your super secret local code and why?
