Someone being funny? BUG

I use Alpine Linux for all my dockers, small and fast.

2.5" disks are SMR, you don’t want that in a raid.

Unless you have use case for that much horsepower I would suggest, like others here, buy a mini PC as a start and if you need more down the line buy a second one. They are cheap, fairly quiet and don’t use much power.

It’s called power supply idle control, worth a test.

There is an issue with ryzen and certain PSUs that when it goes to idle it pulls so little power that the psu thinks it’s off and kills the power, it can appear as a hang. there should be an option in the bios to change it to “typical power” or named something similar.

Yes it’s normal, I sometimes use that to disinfect my ears after diving and it sizzles a bit.

The newer ones usually have some smart stuff built in

If I where you I would just buy a regular case that can fit a decent amount of HDDs like a fractal define 7 or one of its older versions and transplant your current computer into that with some new drives. 100tb is 5 20tb drives so you don’t need that many.

USB enclosures are not a great way to handle storage as USB tends to be unreliable.

I agree but many use it as if it’s actual power consumption

Afaik TDP isn’t power consumption, it’s more input to the manufacturers of the coolers and it’s not calculated the same between AMD and Intel.

Not hate in my case, but I don’t like ms and it’s because of the shit they have done in 90s and 2000s. Their current support of linux is not something I trust.

Yeah I love dark humor as well but timing is everything.

Sure but it was supposed to be returned either way

They gave the artist a bunch of money that was supposed to be used in the piece and was to be returned once done. It wasnt used nor returned.

You also have beelink that makes these small PCs

Linux both at home and work.

Switched my desktop at home to Linux in 2017 and gaming works well, rarely any problems.
