I give up, I tried two 9 port NVME to SATA connectors, I have decided to stick with the 6 port one which is more stable.
The one you see here is a True ASMEDIA controller, the two 9 port ones are not.
Going to play with it a bit, also I got the remainder 2 drives connected via USB.

My week is usually busy, I got work, then a workout, some rest in between. But I got a lot on my plate, today after work I wanted to go to the gym but got no time.
My NAS has all the pieces and is ready.
But you know what is missing, TIME, I need TIME.
Each day I knock of little things, organize the garage, document a plan, record some changes. But I need a nice long chunk of time to do the install and record it properly.

Weekend felt short, technically it was, due to the annual Spring Forward. Excited for spring to get here. Started Spring cleaning.
Not that I have been idle this weekend, I got a lot done. Garage needs constant work, I think this will be permanent.
I am tired, but seeing good progress.
Need To Hit Gym, I am not active enough, my body is in equilibrium, I intake the same as I output. I need to push a bit to start bringing my weight down.
Going to see if I can burn 90 minutes in the gym this week. Hoping to crack 320 officially by end of next week.

Been trying to organize the garage, it is frustrating looking for stuff. Also could be in the shed.
I admit it is time to clean stuff up. Spring will be here in a week, so getting started with spring cleaning.
Shed needs an audit as well.
Borrowing space in living room so I can move around in the garage.

Moving from all over the house (living room, dining room, office) to the garage for my printing workflow. I will still initiate from my desk and watch whereever from my phone, but I want to get all the filament and assembly in to the garage and take back my work bench.
I know wife wanted me to clear out the dining room table, so I will hit there first.
If I do work else where, I would like it to be quick less than a weekend.

A scan at work on my Linux admin box is triggering some security alerts. It looks like it is scanning my home directory and not the OS directory.
Frustration is high because those are just templates, not config files for real systems.
Someone did give me some advice though.
“Study to pass the test, not to learn the materials”
I took that to heart. I simply tar’d up the folder and deleted the source. When I need it I will unroll the tar ball.

Ah yes, I used my 3D printer to solve a problem on my label printer.
I wanted to buy another Dymo label printer from ebay. I noticed some of them were missing the print spool.
So I printed a model I found on the the internet and it works.
Now I can get that cheap printer.

I purchased another label printer today, found one online for pretty cheap around $30, normally they would be $120.
I think it is missing a spool and a power cable. I think I already have a spare power cable and I can print a spool.
I am doing this because I order the wrong labels. It is smaller, should by 1 4/10 by 3 1/2 I got it a bit smaller.
So this new printer will print those labels.

Getting fed up with bad printing on my Dymo LabelWriter Twin Turbo, but the sides of the current batch I purchased are burnt.
I had to enhance the picture a bit to emphasize the side burn in. May have gotten a bad batch.
I did purchase another batch of paper labels. With that said I also wanted labels that would last and found out that I need a special type of label called Polypropylene Direct Print labels.
These are meant more for permanent labels, so these are not normally for something that I will mail.
Not cheap, but today dropped about $100 in labels.
Another cool thing I did today was connect with the server at my son’s dorm.
I can sync backups to a secure hard drive I have there.

Was supposed to move some parts of a server from one case to another. Took longer than expected.
Some hard drives have a 3v pin that it detects and doesn’t power on. Drove me nuts trying to fix that.
The good news is garage is slowly coming together, I think I going to spend an hour a day cleaning up the garage and finding something to organize and clean up.
