A good case for a charge back.

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm not as knowledgeable as someone else. I'm hoping some quick research or someone better can help. If I remember I can look later on this evening, but can't at the moment.

Someone more knowledge than me can correct me, but I'm pretty sure you could buy a newer bigger drive to replace an older drive. You obviously wouldn't get the full capacity as it would be limited by the other older slower drives. However, you would get a, theoretically, more reliable drive than a random one on eBay. Then as you replace older drives eventually you could have increased size.

Caveat is that it will put stress on the old drive to rebuild, however you'd get that with any drive you put in. General wisdom I saw says to replace all the drives. Although that can be expensive.

I'm any case make sure you have a backup before you do any of the changes.

That last part is probably where it's at. Cheaper cameras for the data they collect.

I'll be honest that I didn't read the whole thing, but why does FedEx need vehicle data for other drivers to this degree? Only thing I can think of is for a collision or theft from a vehicle. A camera would be just fine without the other privacy invasion stuff.

They probably installed the app and not the server.

No see the first one is a bribe, the second one is a job. I'm paying you for your time! /s

I imagine that's part of their point? At least that is how I took it.

Case Recommendations (sh.itjust.works)

I'm having a hard time figuring out what case I want to get. Part of me thinks hot swap bays would be nice (I've had a drive failure and figuring out which one would have been 10x easier with hot swap). Of course in the future I'll have labels with S/N on the drives so it's easier to find the drive.

So provide me any case recommendations with 8+ drive bays if internal, and 6+ if hot swap. (I have a 5 drive pool now, but want to be semi future-proof).

Turntable suggestions (sh.itjust.works)

Currently looking at getting a turntable to get into vinyl. I'm looking to spend no more than maybe $500 (can be persuaded more for a decent reason). Sound quality isn't super huge to me but I still can still tell some differences. I'm not sure where to start so hopefully someone can help.

So throw me some suggestions and hopefully I can find one I like!

Not OP, but my Lenovo tiny computer on ebay is about $60 and will run circles around a raspberry pi

Power usage isn't too much higher, it's upgradeable, and it's x86-64 architecture so more things are supported.

My tiny has an i7 and was a bit more expensive, but it's a powerful little guy. I added more ram for a total of 32, and it does better than my "old" server (technically from same era).

Can't speak for the other stuff.
