My guess is that it is often hard for people to grasp that HDDs loose value much faster than other items they own. New HDDs are larger and offer better price per TB, and older HDDs have a higher risk to fail.

I can buy new HDDs at 16€/TB, why should I spend 12€/TB on a used disk?

I have no idea why, but I made the same experience. Used drives are in most cases much overprized. Often far beyond the price/TB of new, larger disks.

Awesome :D But providing a speed test on a 10 Mbit line is IMO pretty pointless.

I've never heard of this one.

I would recommend avoiding RAID for backups. It's preferable to have two separate backup disks in two distinct systems rather than relying on mirrored backup disks. If there's a human error on the backup machine, you risk losing both backups simultaneously. Additionally, unforeseen events like system failure due to a lightning strike could compromise your data. Ideally, you should have two backups stored in two different location.

Thanks for sharing this. Its a shame that most AI tech is hidden behind steep price tags and cloud subscriptions, while even midrange PCs can run interesting AI models.

Regarding your question B:

I personally built a SSD-only homeserver, because of performance, noise and power efficiency. However, if you need much storage, the price difference gets really painful.

True, they are much cheaper on aliexpress than on our local suppliers.

I think he meant something like these mainboards (german comparison portal). These mainboards contain the CPU.

However, you also need memory, a case, storage and a power supply, which brings you closer to 200€.

Just as a side note, the load factor can also mean that processes are limited by IO:

Unix systems traditionally just counted processes waiting for the CPU, but Linux also counts processes waiting for other resources -- for example, processes waiting to read from or write to the disk.

True. And communication was also not ideal.
