I little dirt secret, remember this JBOD
It was out of service for couple months now because the 300W power supply was not enough.
Today I upgraded it to a 750 Watt and it is more stable. I was able to see and use the storage, but more important was able to record what drives were really being used. I am going to use these disks in the new NAS.
Not all disks were used so I have a little migration room for the new NAS.
Before the weekend hits I hope to complete the new NAS JBOD.

Sometimes we get tunnel vision and we don’ realize something dangerous is happening. That is what happened today to me.
I had a busy morning, then had a doctor appointment and then an xray.
Then in an instant priorities changed, I was near the area of a levee breach here in Western Washington. I was safe because I was above ground.
Then when I got home, I got notice my oldest son lived in the area that was told to evacuate.
At that point my whole schedule shifted. I cancelled couple meetings and rushed over to get him out of there.
In the end, it did not reach him, but it certainly hit some people in the area.
I think being able to shift gear like that is a good thing but really disruptive.

Half a month left in the year and I got so much to do. Lights aren’t 100% up yet either.
I been putting on the back burner some things, and I speed run through some others. Basically I have weird priorities.
One of the things I did speed run is getting the new NAS up, the server itself is built, but some parts of my life is catching up to me.
Not Christmas lights. Tomorrow gonna carve out some time and get it done.

Getting ahead of schedule but all the parts are in for my 2026 NAS are here except for the drives. I am going to do a longer form post regarding the build tomorrow.
So I have the base server, here is what I got
Also found some test drives around the house to play with the new JBOD.

Got another JBOD installed. This time on my mediacenter server.
A couple of weeks ago this system only had capacity for 12 disks (not including M.2)
By end of today, I have capacity for 17 3.5″ drives and 4 2.5″ drives. I tested hot swap this evening and it worked.
Other than cables, I think I have everything I need in possession or on order.
Going to bed early, want to wake up and do a bunch of stuff.

I 3D printed my first Christmas Parole
Smaller than most Paroles I have purchased but looks kind a cool.
Also flashed my first SAS9305-16E, got to admit was a challenge, not as straightforward as others.
Am ready though, for those that came across this post here is the firmware location

There has been some crazy weather the past few days. I personally have stayed indoors, but today I had to go in for an in person office meeting and had to drive a bit.
Yesterday I did drive further but today there was some bad rain.
Hoping my kids will play it safe when they drive.
Most of my purchases are done, I got too many things going on at the same time.

Haven’t had time to go and work out, been really busy. Had to bail out of work early today to go to the Doctors and returned and continued to work.
Cranking out some work, got a lot of things to do.
Tomorrow I have to go into the office and then work some more when I get home.

I am posting late, got caught up with a conversation with an old friend from when we were in high school.
He was a great runner that made it to State and ran in college. I was hoping my son would reach out to him for advice cause my advice consists of run faster.
Anyway, we chatted and reflected on the what our journeys were.
I told him I gonna reach out to him after a crack 300, it is such a wall for me at the moment.
