What people think an autistic woman who makes specialized compression algorithms for pirating games would look like
versus what she would actually look like (if she was real and not a tranny)
But spare me the "Come the fuck on, lad" as if I'm so unreasonable to think dropping $1200 on an 8 bay NAS from a company that's tried to enforce branded drives is a bit dim when you could get a 60-bay system with much, much better hardware for less used.
I repeat and stand by my "come the fuck on, lad," as you are entirely unreasonable to suggest I'm "better off sending it back and starting over," as if that's a trivial thing to do with a device now housing terabytes of data for me (and that has performed admirably for a very long time) and replacing it would be oh-so-straightforward.
In fact, y'know what? Why don't you just come on out here and show this dumb ol' cow how to do it? I'll gladly apologize for being an asshole once you serve me up your less-than-"shiny" not-so-new system for me without a moment of downtime, data loss or inconvenience to me.
And, again, walked it back after criticism and feedback from their paying customers.
Has it ever occurred to you that if companies fuck up, and then actually listen to customer feedback, they might still be worthy of doing business with? That actually listening to customers deserves the reward of continued business from those customers? That perhaps if they fuck up, listen to feedback, and then all the customers walk away despite that, that maybe they won't listen to feedback the next fucking time?
I fucking hate this argument anyway. No matter how you choose to store your data, some faggot is always going to come along and tell you how you've done it wrong and you picked the wrong gear

My best guess was someone involved with the site was watching this thread and did something, but the problem is back. The site that opens up is rainbet.com if that matters at all.

Also, btw, find me a used 60-bay disk shelf. Any price. Best I can find is a bare Dell MD3060 for about $600 plus $150 shipping. That's neat. $750 for a metal brick. Now add trays and power supplies. Now you're at an even grand before you've even started putting any electronics in it. Also, how's the sound level? My shitty anemic Synology NASes sit quietly on a shelf in the den. Will a 60-bay shelf do that?
Heh. I have only filled my 8-bay half full since getting it years ago. I have trouble filling tens of terabytes. But for shits and giggles I just decided to see what a new gold 20-terabyte would cost, and oh my fucking god. I paid $700 for 2 on Newegg a few years back, and I couldn't get one for that today. Like, holy shitsnacks.
How on god's green Earth is anyone supposed to fill a 60-bay? I couldn't even afford used trash-tier, sub-terabyte drives to fill one. And I'd kind of like to not have to decide between air conditioning and storage during the summer. There are days I wonder if I shouldn't have gotten the 12-bay or 18-bay Synology, but anyone criticizing that you didn't get a 60-bay is just posing. It's fucking stupid.

26TB refurb from MDD with a five-year warranty is going for $510 right now.
Refurbs are about the only option without being a fucking billion-dollar enterprise. Those crazy-ass MDD and Water Panther off-brand disks? I've got 20 of 'em so far and not a single one has failed. I put Toshibas in the first 12-bay and they've been great too, but then prices went up so I decided "meh, let's just see" and gave MDD a shot. Little bastards are doing just fine.
They figured something out with refurbished disks. I guess they took a hint from Backblaze and just started keeping track of endless raw metrics -- if a hard drive survives throughout its entire warranty period (they're got it down to a god damn artform building them juuuuuust shitty enough to only last specifically that length of time), and still continues to function normally with no detected errors and no health warnings, it's very likely to carry on running indefinitely. For every disk that actually fails, there's probably a dozen right next to it from the same production batch that'll happily run 10 years without a single bad sector or spin-up retry. So they take every trade-in and off-lease disk they can get, test them, flash new firmware on them, wipe the counters, slap a fresh label on them and turn them back around.
Anecdotally I've heard MDD and Water Panther both are very good about honoring warranty claims too FWIW.
But yeah, fuck new disks at today's prices. They're out of their god damned minds.
