A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

More hard drive slots? No problem! Extra vibrations are good for hard drives probably.

Vibrations are movement. Hard drives have moving components. That means that vibrations help read/write speeds!

Movement... increases speed... that sounds right!

So there should be a Disk Vibrator!

I can hear the case vibration in that picture lol

This isn't a high rpm fan, it's enough to keep the LSI card cool.

Ohh I was referring to the pic posted behind the "No problem" link in that user's comment lol

What temps were you seeing before adding the fan?

[–] BlovedMadman 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hot to touch, and now its warn to touch.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

As long as it’s not error or critical to touch, you should be good.

Just add hard drives until there is no play for vibration.
