Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Is 5640 RPM acceptable? WD reds are all about 5400rpm and are basically the gold standard for NAS HDDs.
You can shuck them out of WD easy store drives sold at best buy. They're white label drives from WD, but they're all based on the red/red pro drives.
According to 2.5admins shucked drives are not as good as the red/pro. They are the drives that didn't meet the requirement for QA; so they go to external plug in drives, that the seller hopes the user doesn't use them to the same rigourous performance of a true server daily requirement
Anecdotal, but mine (a 4TB one) is running fine (knocks on wood) for 5+ years now. It's in my server and doesn't spin down. Low power usage as well. Very happy with it...
