If you check it and run it through a course and a decent one year guarantee, you should be fine. If it doesn’t fail then it won’t fail for quite some time.

Just make sure to put it in some RAID or parity

I just swapped my >10 year old WD Reds with refurbished used drives at 1/3 of the price, just because i need more space, these things last if you take some care.

Not only backups, but also migration

That’s a great solution. (sarcasm)

Double-NAT anyone? 3 times the fun, 2 times the work

Not at all, i use it as a firewall, so i wouldn’t notice anything. I can’t imagine it being a problem, it’s still DDR5

If you don’t mind it being completely Chinese based, Beelink with their new Intel 12th gen mini PC were my upgrade from the last Shuttle device I’ve used.

Dual Intel 2.5G NIC plenty of USB and an extremely efficient Intel Alder Lake-N100 with a great price to performance closed the deal for me.

EQ12-N100 is what i went for, to be exact, there are more powerful options too, if needed.

Just use your DNS-server and forward it in your LAN to the internal IP

But they want to, that’s why they’re started

My girlfriend asked me why she gets ads on Plex, first i didn’t believe her, but then she showed me them, as a lifetime customer, i was furious until i found out that she was watching something outside my library.

This is a feature, but they should tag it much more obvious.

Good job, now fill the server :)

Why would you want to switch?
