I wonder if this is an acquired skill. I’m reminded of working on cars and having to build “touch sight” where you “see” things hidden behind an engine block or other obstruction by feel alone.

- Comment on Retailers who pack & ship HDDs right?! 10 hours ago:
It is the fault of the retailers because it’s well known that things don’t always get handled with care in shipping, especially when you’re talking about automated machines and people handling millions of boxes. They’re the ones packing these items to ship and damaged items are needless waste. I buy car parts online and they manage to pack these often heavy and awkwardly shaped parts correctly so that they don’t sustain damage. Newegg could do the same with some HDDs.

I just got 5 drives from them and both orders were packed well.
- Comment on DuckDNS URL no longer working on home network? 14 hours ago:
I don’t know if this will be of any help, and I dont fully understand the intricacies, but I run into similar issues with my HomeAssistant setup when the certificates expire (every couple of months?). The issue is that HA doesn’t pull the new certificate without a reboot, so I typically just restart it every once in a while to ensure that it has the newest certificate.

- Comment on Choosing a second drive for my home server 4 days ago:
A single hdd can be fast enough to serve UHD ripped 4k video, but it’s much closer to the limit than an ssd would be, and might not be a great experience if you will be doing anything else with that drive at that time.
You might be mixing up your units here as 4k UHD is typically <90Mb/s while large HDDs typically cap out at 120MB/s, which equates to 960Mb/s (bits vs bytes). You could likely stream 10 4k UHD movies at once from a single HDD before running into bandwidth issues and with the cost of SSDs versus HDDs, it’s almost a no-brainer to go with an HDD.

Yeah it only comes with 6 trays, so you’ll need to order more, but you can fill out the entire front section with drives.
- Comment on Post your bandwidth usage 2 months ago:
I’m currently at 3TB a month and that’s with capping my seeding speeds to 2Mbps and remote streams to 3Mbps (essentially SD quality) to conserve what little upload speed I have to split amongst my users.
I don’t know why you’re so adamant that this can’t be the cause when video is hands down the most common reason for high data usage. Downloading a video is just 1x the file size in data usage but streaming to friends and family can easily increase that 1x infinitely based on the number of users. Then throw seeding on top of that and you increase it another 5x or what have you.
I’m browsing Tautulli right now and the little 4k content I have has a bitrate of 25Mbps for an hour long TV episode while movies like Akira in 4k has a bitrate of 90Mbps, Bladerunner 2049 70Mbps, Encanto 72Mbps. That crap adds up quickly. Imagine 6 kids who all have Encanto playing over and over again in the background, which amounts to 1TB of data used in 6 hours if they all play it 3 times.
What do you suspect is the cause of so much data usage if not video streaming?

I use a Fractal Design Define R6 but their newer model is around the same price and can hold the same number of drives. They’re solid cases.

For your lack of SATA ports, you can either buy a new mobo (use PCPartPicker and filter by SATA ports) or an LSI SAS HBA card to gain additional SATA ports.

Plenty of 4k HDR videos are 50+GB each and OP could have a dozen people or more watching each day plus new downloads, online backups, seeding, etc.
I have a decent sized server with terrible upload speeds in the 15Mbps range that I share with some friends and family, and I still have 5-6 people streaming from my server almost constantly. If I had a symmetrical connection, I wouldn’t be shy about sharing it more and uncapping the remote bitrate settings and I could easily see myself hitting these numbers even though almost all my content is 720p and 1080p.

Video is what gobbles up that much data. They likely have friends and family streaming from their media server.

- Comment on Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app. 4 months ago:
People aren’t using Robinhood to invest in index funds via their 401k, they’re using it to “day trade” which is just gambling. Nobody is saying that investing = gambling, they’re saying that buying and selling shares or options in a single company in order to time the market = gambling.

“Possibility” but not an “actuality” since share prices are typically based on the feelings of major investors and not necessarily what’s actually happening within a company.

Also, your car being an automatic isn’t the difficult part of the conversion, having to fabricate the parts to adapt the drivetrain and battery are.
