I will start first

  • I didn’t notice my diy NAS motherboard had Pci-E Gen 2.0 (old gen) before buying it. It’s not a great limitation (still 500MB/s) for the two spinning disks I have on it, but it’d be if I will decide to switch to SSDs
  • I cheaped out on the PSU. I bought another one without waiting for that crap to burn down so I eventually spent more
  • I often break the software. Sometimes I kill the OS or mess with some BTRFS pools

Sometimes I just feel not adequate for it. Does this kind of things happen to you too?

    Yeah it’s a fun ride.I run a cluster and the storage is replicated and distributed among them. 3/6 of my disks were QLC. One disk went bad super early and caused a bad latency but the other 5 disks kept performance up for the most part. Once I found out it was hardware I went with an enterprise SSD with a a 3 DWPD rating (drive wipe per day) and those beasts are so good. TLC m.2s seem to be okay too but I don’t think I’ll ever touch QLC again.
