- Comment on used hard drive retailers 6 days ago:
I’ve bought about 16 drives from goharddrive (through eBay). Most of them 5+ years ago without any failures. So I can’t say how well they honor their warranty, but they have been around for some time so that is probably a good sign.
If you are running your power supply near its limit I have seen that cause drive drops as well. If you continue to see drives drop that seem to be functional and cables/HBA don’t seem to be the cause, you might want to swap/upgrade power supplies if you can.
- Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? 1 month ago:

This is normal. Linux caches disk reads so that you don’t have to go to her/SSD to reread blocks. If your app isn’t using the ram Linux will use it instead.
Zero reason to be concerned, because if your app allocates more memory Linux will evict the cached pages to make sure your apps have plenty of space.
