  • We tried the cheapest stuff Amazon will sell and went back to Powerade Zero.

    The next step is trying to build your own electrolyte drink, but that is a recipe for disaster.

    Puns aside, I was concerned about giving myself an electrolyte imbalance. I asked the doctor about it and they told me to just eat food, weirdo (sass for dramatic emphasis, but I definitely got the look I give end users when they ask stupid questions).




  • I just read that recently. Let me see if I can run that source back down.

    Edit: All in one CompTIA server plus certification exam guide second edition exam SK0-005 McGraw-Hill Daniel LaChance 2021 Page 138. In the table there it says that SATA is not designing for constant use.

    Edit 2:

    Reliability:

    SAS: Designed for 24/7 operation with higher >mean time between failures (MTBF), often 1.6 million hours or more
    SATA: Suitable for regular use but not as robust as SAS for constant, heavy workloads, with MTBF typically around 1.2 million hour
    

    They are saying that SAS is a better option with a longer MTBF, but I don’t expect my drives to last 5 years, much less 136.

    My own two cents here is that you probably don’t want to use SATA ZFS JBOD in an enterprise environment, but that’s more based on enterprise lifecycle management than utility.
