Okay and what about longevity of the drives? That should just depend on the number of writes, right?

But an M.2 is usually more expensive than a normal 2.5" SSD. Is it better to boot from a M.2 HAT than from USB?

What about enclosures from Sabrent? That should be a reliable manufacturer, no?

Is this command to check the health of the SSD/drive in general?

Thank you, I think I will go with this and a SSD from crucial to start off and then add some HDDs for backup and NAS. Do you think this kind of enclosure is reliable enough for a NAS? And is there enough airflow if you add two 3.5" HDDs together in the dock station?

Thank you very much, this helped way more than the other comment!

Happy cake day!

I heard it’s not so good practice to buy used drives so I will not do that for now but thanks for the second part I will consider that!

I stumbled upon the Crucial BX, do you think that one is not reliable enough? Because I think I use that in my PC atm and it runs fine. But it’s not a home server so there is probably less load on this one.

For example? Kingston, Crucial?

Could you elaborate?

What does YMMV mean? And yeah sure, I just want to run the OS on the SSD and a few containers but the rest on HDDs and also backups on other HDDs.

Are you using SATA to USB adapters? If yes, which one work well?

Thank you very much! Can you link to a noob-friendly guide for all the features Netbird offers?

What are ACLs? And do you use the self hosted or the hosted option?

How are you using Netbird in your setup if I may ask?
