If it's a WD Red Plus on the label then it's CMR and good. If it's WD Red without the "Plus" then it's SMR and WD has said don't use them for this purpose. It's not impossible to run the WD Red in a RAID, but they tend to fail when resilvering. If it resilvers correctly then it will probably be OK

I wonder if someone can help me get educated about synchronous writes to a file server over the network? Is this something that's designed into specific apps or is this something that I have control of at the sys admin level? I've recently built 2 TrueNAS file servers. The first (and main) unit

Hi, I've been playing with a Raspberry Pi 4 as a utility divice for a couple of purposes - a backup server for here at home as well as an astrophotography manager to run my camera and mount. So far everything is fine when I have a monitor attached. I can ssh in and run X apps, and I can run the
