    Large Capacity HDD's (6TB-20TB)

    "If the drive passes a stress test like pre-clear and post read on unraid, it will probably last a long time." I have belived this for a while. Am I wrong or not getting some nuance?

    Home Inverter Consuming too much power

    The consumption does sound very high. Does your inverter have a bypass? Do you have a multimeter with a clamp? If you can check the amps going in vs the amps going out. (math in my head says maybe .4amps on the 220v ac?) Is it a continuous drain or just turns on when the inverter kicks on and...

    Home Inverter Consuming too much power

    Can you test your battery capacity? Is it running as long as it is supposed to? When you attach a load to it (as in have something running off the battery) what is the voltage? See if that drops a lot compared to idle. Charging float voltage is 13.5v. Maybe your battery is going bad and your...

    90K+ Looking to purchase a new work station. Need help and suggestions!

    Or you could buy some tall tubular batteries for that inverter. Adding another one or two for about 14k for 160-180AH will power your entire house for much longer and you can use a small ups to keep your system powered. Since you need another system for your sister anyway, you should first...
