    1. Looks like that NAS was originally sold with up to 40tb capacity so it shouldn’t have any issues with larger drives. Seems like the “my cloud os” is based on Linux so unless WD built in some weird limit, it should work with 20tb drives.

    2. I don’t have an answer here, never had to rebuild an array. You might be able to use clonezilla which can do a block by block copy of disks and then expand the volume in the OS if it supports it. This is just conjecture, I’ve never done it with a raid array.




  • Since you are in Germany, buy a sebo. Great power and supposedly inexpensive since they are made in Germany. Some of them come with 10 year warranties and replacement parts are readily available.

    Also if you want repairability, do not buy a Shark. They have 900 models and getting replacement parts can be extremely hard because they don’t make the same model for very long. Dyson is slightly better in that regard but not much.





  • As someone who A/B tested mint and T-Mobile. They are virtually the same (mint is owned by T-Mobile) but in the middle of no where Kansas T-Mobile had full data but mint only had voice/text. I’m 98% sure that’s because it was a dead zone for T-Mobile so you defaulted to roaming on a locally owned tower. So keep that in mind if you travel a lot to sparsely populated areas.

    We decided to stick with T-Mobile in the end just because both the W and I got big pay bumps but if we hadn’t I would have strongly considered switching.
