I personally didn’t have an issue with this on one of my servers. But if I remember that issue was a docker install issue with the initial setup. Quick resolution would be a full reinstall at the start post drive wipes

If you haven't already i'd definitely check out serverpartdeals.com. Got 4 Exos drives from them and like others said cheaper per TB than Iron wolfs. and even with shipping International, in my case UK, still comes out cheaper.

@Todd Miller i assume you are aware you can roll back the app updates if you do run into issues?

@Duncan Innes Currently when the time comes, new features should be able to be turned on / off for specific users, so those eager to test the latest and greatest may be able to get that chance. I'm sure they'll be further updates on this in the future as we get closer to more frequent releases post V1.0. As for updates, i hope we'll have more news shortly, though if you haven't read it already, the Q1 Update from Jon, does it's best to explain why the team had to reevaluate their own timelines / plan after such a successful launch. So keep an eye out for future updates coming soon! 🙏🏻

Literally had that recently when getting my remote server, bought a second hand system with a board that had built in IPMI, but then it doesn't work, as to use the software even in a browser, it needs Java that's so old it's blocked across ALL OS's... 🫠 i even created a windows 7 VM to attempt to use it to no avail haha... Jet KVM > Plug & Play! 🙏🏻

Yeah found the last email i received March 26th

I believe it'll be on Amazon within the next few weeks. But kickstarter is over.

So far my Jet's have been flawless and simple installs. Be interested to see how they compare to the GL.inet Comet that'll come out soon.

Look's nice, be curious to see what chipsets it comes with though + how it'll compare to the Ugreen DXP6800 or DXP8800.

Depends how you set up your library settings / scheduled tasks. If you've got it creating thumbnails, credit detection and other tasks when new content is added, then yes on first install it'll take a while! But likewise, you could allocate more CPU resource to Plex to speed things up? My 10TB of data was done in 12-24 hours

Going to check this out, UI wise looks like a cookie cutter replacement to Arc, which was my go to for the last 6 months.

Interesting, i guess my 'newbie' approach and outlook would be; Buy 2 or more drives Run conveyance test to ensure not DOA. If passed > Run Long SMART test If passed > Ok to deploy inside a Raid Pool with at least 1 drive failure acceptable If drive fails within RMA Window > Return / replace 'Quickly' if drive fails outside RMA window but Inside warranty window > Return / replace 'longer' If driver fails outside Warranty window > Open wallet... Again seeing all the drive failure charts, you'll never be able to predict 'when' a drive will fail. but most likely it'll be DOA / within the first year. OR it could die 5-10 years later... As long as you've got the built in redundancy and backups, you should be ok.

In my 3rd test system (Qnap Ts-251+) i was forced to use usb drives as i was unable to use the embedded proprietary m.2 ssd for boot. So i got x2 Sandisk Ultra fit usb's, I then installed the OS in mirrored mode for redundancy. Speed wise, no major sluggishness other than the device itself being fairly old now. And as it's a 3rd test system i'm not concerned about failures ect. BUT like others have said, it's not ideal and if you are doing it, at least run 2 or more for redundancy. or better yet a usb > sata cable then use a 2.5" ssd.

Would not just running a Conveyance + Long smart test be enough?
