Hello,

This is the new yearly poll for sharing your preferred storage solutions and covers both hard disk drives and solid-state drives.  The previous year's poll can be found here.

Please feel free to describe what you are currently using this year, plus any planned upgrades.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

Currently using Samsung NvMe 500GB Boot Drive,  Samsung 860 Evo 1TB game SSD, and Western Digital 4TB Storage drive---Debating on updating Boot NVMe to 1TB possibly Western Digital or Samsung Model depending on what i can afford when birthday comes around in February, be nice to use 1 Dashboard in the future for all Drives--instead of Samsung Magician like currently, and Western Digital Dashboard for other drives

HDD:

I recently went with 20TB Toshiba Enterprise MG10ACA20TE drives when upgrading my home server.

These drives had a 5 year warranty, seemed to get great reviews and were a fair bit cheaper than the equivalent Western Digital or Seagate drives here in the UK at approx. £300 per drive. Historically I'd used Western Digital drives when I last upgraded the server around 10 years ago.

SSD:

In my main PC I've used Samsung SSD's for the last decade. Currently I have a 2TB 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD as the sole drive.

For my pfSense router / firewall I have a 128gb Patriot P300 M.2, in my home server / NAS I have a 2TB Patriot P300 for Docker containers and VM's. These were both chosen for their very low idle power consumption due to the devices been on 24/7.

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

WebChangeMonitor features: Allows monitoring of web pages and informs about content changes Indication of states of currently monitored items in the tool and taskbar Reporting as sound and/or email as well as log file or HTML log Several configuration / filter options Support all protocols, e.g. http, https Multi-threaded, running in the background Bulk-import and bulk-export of items (from/to CSV) to monitor Export of results to CSV file for further processing Allows running command on items states and/or showing diff (changes) of content with preferred diff-tool ...and many more! Open Source (C++, wxWidgets) Cross platform for Windows (7/10), Linux, RPi and Mac (if self-compiled) WebChangeMonitor 26.06 release notes: Release 26.06 brings mostly s but updates the underlying core infrastructure. A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
