3D printer to the rescue again. Setting up a tiny home server, couldn’t quite fit the three ironwolf 8Tb drives in the kolink satillite chassis, so I slung one under the other, perfect!

My one year in Chia

Hello everyone it's been little over a year since I started with Chia so I thought I'd do a recap of my experience.

I started during the pre-mine, about 6-8 weeks before the coin went live I think. Initially I was only going to fill up 2 of my 3TB drives, on my mid-tier gaming pc, and leave it at t

Searching quiet 8-12TB drives with the best noise/capacity ratio

Hello!

So what happened to the group buy.

A very nice initiative was taken up by /u/seagate_surfer to start something which was never done before. It failed and most of the people around the world were not happy. Most of the comments on the post were made by people outside the USA. I would like to say that people who live in the states have

Newegg has $189 Ironwolf 8TB

Discount code on website brings price down $30 from $219. Still not the great days of $15 per TB, but this is one of the better prices I've seen recently.
