[question] Can I use the drive inside my WD My Book in a NAS? - Lemmy.world
Hello everyone! As a photographer without a lot of money, my girlfriend used
external drives to backup her files. A few years ago, she was able to upgrade to
two 8tb WD My Book: one that she uses on a day to day basis, the other as an
exact copy (thank’s SuperDuper!). But we now want to upgrade to a NAS. Since we
will need a lots of storage (I was thinking four 8tb drives, so that we can have
a few tb each with redundancy), I was wondering if I could use the drives inside
the My Book in our NAS? I could just open it, but I don’t want to ruin her hd
before we buy our NAS, and I can’t find any reliable info about what’s inside.
I’m sure there are some reliability issue in using used hd in a NAS, I’m just
curious.
I am really pleased with all the answer I got and surprised by their wholesomeness. You were able to bring some clarifications on important points that have been really obscure for me for a long time. I will take some time to reply and/or ask follow-up questions, but I wanted you to know that your help is appreciated.
What distro to choose in parallel to steamos

What distro to choose in parallel to steamos - Lemmy.world
Hello community! I come to you for advice. Using an m1 macbook air since 2020, I
installed popos on my old 2013 macbook pro and I was quite happy with it but… I
bought a steamdeck two weeks ago and exploring its desktop mode made me
reconsider some choices. Using distros based on different systems, with
different commands, desktop environment, etc. gets a little confusing for
someone like me, who doesn’t use linux as my main machine. Do you have any
advice for me? From what I understand, steamos is debian-based while popos is
ubuntu-based: is that the biggest part of how a distribution works, ie commands,
etc.? Good ui/ux is important for me so i should maybe use nitrux or deepin,
that are debian-based, or is it a bad idea to choose a less common distro for a
amateur like me? Thanks in advance, I’m a bit lost.
