Join me in rentooor paradise. Own nothing, extend the lease 😂

Spitballin but maybe home insurance claim?

Clapped out enterprise ftw.

Also a ton of nuance here, but I've had great success with lots of equipment running 24/7 for about 15 years now.

Same, until 5 days ago

Worst was about 7 years ago had an entire array of drives start to fail all at once. Then the temp target machine I had at lease one drive throw errors when backing up. I had a full real-time remote backup but it was remote... The entire machine fell apart, backplane errors, I had the wrong drive caddies for it, and it was running in a very hot environment, so I ended up parting the machine out and buying another one lol. Then slowly picked up some cheap drives and restored normal operations. Right now would hurt of my SSD array went out. It would need 4 drives to fail at once before the hot spares could take over, then id have to fail over to one of my disk based machines.
