So you mean use it until I have all drives and a data card then copy my NAS to a DAS and then back to my NAS?
And also the cards as far as I know have 2 mini SAS ends so I can’t switch to data one by one, they go in fours?
That’s what I was thinking but my wires are mini SAS to SAS and they are in a 1:4 ratio.
Like this

Wouldn’t that mean that it would be impossible to make a drive data it they are connected in 4s
The SAS cables go in pairs of 4…

If one dies I have to replace 4… And the raid HDD builder won’t be able to build more that 1 at a time probably?
Unless you were suggesting something else
Do you recommend SAS over SATA? What would I do of I wanted to move to SATA drives and already having data on the hardware raid? How would I transfer all that?
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.
It shows up in try has as one big 18TB drive (I have 24tb, so raid is working).
How do I configure that? Just put it in one pool? In truenas terms what do I do with the 18tb?
It has mini SAS connectors that have SAS connections on the other end.
Do you think hardware raid is any good?

infinite loop, paying with the other’s money
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.
fast food…
at this point can you even call that meat?


Lemmy users are smarter, because they literally got off the bandwagon and followed what they believed in.
Active users not reactive. And that is not only when using platforms. People that use Lemmy and well rounded.
It’s like an oasis that is free to enter, but only for those that realized they were in a cage.

So you are saying it overheats to 100C after 8 min of use and then starts to produce steam?
ikr, i feel like i missed the drama
Then the “overtakers” and the slow ones all end up at the same red light. Zero sum game.
there is this app that I found on fdroid that makes it pretty easy to log notes and photos on a daily calendar.
It certainly does not replace ANY of the other methods of documentation like videos and quality photos, and long detailed journal entries.
I just use it because it reminds me of the Snapchat Memories feature but FOSS.
It is a good starting spot, and makes it easy to document with photos.
It has been pretty good to me so far, I recommend that you give it a shot:
