Benchmarking shucked drive WD80EMZZ from WD 8TB Elements Desktop




Shucking drives is a good thing to get fairly cheap WD Red or enterprise-grade drives. But that might have changed. I recently bought a Western Digital 8TB Elements Desktop external drive (WDBWLG0080HBK-EESN) from Amazon.

After opening the case I found a WD80EMZZ 8TB drive, which was not a total surprise, but the fact that the drive parks it's heads right after 8s of inactivity lead to my decision to send it back. After some testing of the drive I already had over 130 head park cycles. Here are some benchmarks:

Sabrent USB 5-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter NT-SS5G on macOS Review

Image
This is a review about the  Sabrent USB 5-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter NT-SS5G. This review only covers my experience with macOS. Summary: Does NOT work on Apple M1 hardware (yet), no arm64e support Does work with Apple Intel hardware. Also needs SIP off which might/should be a dealbreaker for some/most users!  Due to the USB 3.1 Gen1 interface speed is limited to ~3.5Gbit!  Based on AQC111U chipset by Marvell/ Aquantia I recently ordered this adapter on amazon to get faster ethernet connection to my TrueNAS server which is on a 10Gbit network. Unfortunately it is not really working with macOS Big Sur. I planned to use this dongle with my 2018 13" MacBook Pro and a new Mac mini M1, both running on the latest macOS Big Sur 11.1. On the Mac mini M1 this dongle barely works at almost 1Gbit, actually it is just about 740Mbit. So that is useless because you got 1Gbit ethernet built-in and there are other cheap and actually working 1Gbit adapters if you need a second NIC. On my 2018 13"

pfSense fanless MiniPC review

Image
I bought a cheap   fanless Topton  MiniPC  from Aliexpress to set up a spare pfSense firewall, in case my pfSense VM is not running. The price was around 85€ including free shipping. The thing finally arrived after 6 weeks, but packaging was still ok and nothing damaged. The MiniPC I ordered did not come with SSD or RAM. You can configure it to include RAM and/or SSD, but you don’t know what they put into it until you received the package. I equipped the PC with 4GB of DDR3L 1600MHz SO-Dimm RAM. 2GB or even 1GB will be enough for most private use cases with pfSense, but since these memory modules are cheap… The 4GB RAM module I bought was around 18€. For storage I decided to use a Transcend MSata SSD 16GB ultradurable MLC NAND Flash. 16GB is plenty of space for pfSense, 8GB would also be fine. But the stuff is cheap, 21€. You can also use a SATA-DOM, there’s an onboard SATA and power connector. Installation of pfSense is simple. Just flash the downloaded image on a USB stick and boot i

Realtek driver update for pfSense

Image
If you read into pfSense and hardware it supports, you will stumble over users reporting that Realtek ethernet hardware is not very well supported and can be buggy or slow. I had the same experience with my MiniPC I bought from China, read the review   here . But I found a solution that was easy to setup and really works well. This is the post I’m referring to: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/135850/official-realtek-driver-binary-1-95-for-2-4-4-release How to: download the driver here upload driver into pfSense. I use Cyberduck to SSH into pfSense. Unzip & Place “if_re.ko” file at “/boot/kernel” Change ownership and permissions on the if_re.ko file cd /boot/kernel chown root:wheel if_re.ko chmod 0555 if_re.ko Then edit “/boot/loader.conf”. You will need to use the vi editor, since the nano editor, which I think is much easier to use, is not installed.: vi /boot/loader.conf add the following line to the end: if_re_load=“YES” Reboot. Then go to  diagnostics  >  command prompt  in
