Thing that kills the dells is soldered on ram.

Framework is much better than any of these dells and usually cheaper.

cwiggs··on Don’t Be Afraid of RAID
Good point. I think it might be more important with SSDs actually when they fail they typically fail 100%. When HDDs fail you can sometimes get some data off or even use software tools to repair the disk(s) and get all your data back.
cwiggs··on Don’t Be Afraid of RAID
Hm, I'm not sure i understand.

The 1tb NVMe Sabrent SSD on Amazon is $150: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGF54XR/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i...

You said you could put multiple in the PC so we can assume at least more than 1. So just for the SSDs, not including the NVM PCIe interface we are looking at $300 for 2TB.

In comparison for $100 you can get a 4TB WD red: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083XVY99B/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i...

That's a lot more $/GB than you could get with HDDs.

I have 4 2TB HDDs in a raid 5 array at home and all 4 disks didn't cost $300 and I have 6TB usable storage space.

So how is it cheaper to go with NVM SDD for home use?

cwiggs··on Flat Pack Chainless Bicycle from IKEA
Does anyone know if the trailer can be used with other bikes? I don't see anywhere on the site where it explains how it attaches to the bike.

edit: nevermind, i missed the manual. It looks like it will attach to just about any bike as it just attaches to the bicycle's rear wheel.
