She might catch the grammar but I am a far better speller.?ÿ She has me edit important things before she sends them out.
Surf, Dude.?ÿ She's going through the surf.?ÿ You can't see the surf board because she is about nine hundred pounds too heavy for it to work.
So most systems have a backup spinning drive.
Yup, a pair of 4Terrabyte Western Digitals configured as Raid1
Looks like a M.2 SSD.?ÿ I have a pair of these in my machine at the moment, 2 TB each.?ÿ They've worked awesome so far.
Yes they are. But kinda scary though. I've got a laptop that wont start, so now I'm on the hunt for an external reader. We're locked down at the moment, and I doubt whether the in-country shops would have one anyway, so I have ordered one off eBay, from the East, so it might get here in a month or six. I ordered two hats from the East a couple of months ago, and they're still out there somewhere in the ether.
We use ROBOCOPY to do automatic copy/backup every afternoon. It runs invisibly. The backup drive is however in the same tower, so the danger remains of catastrophic damage to the tower (unlikely, touch wood) or theft (possible, touch wood).
Its not an if it's just when.
They are the best option for the computational part of the machine, and storage for long term is spindle, although that is based upon data from a few years ago too.
The static Ram based drives media is being reengineered constantly so the stability has been getting better, but constantly deep diving the drives(read and write) is what ultimately wears out the matrix of that material.
If you're really worried there's always good old Tape.

Just mainly use good practice of backups to 2 location seems reasonable. Storage is super cheap nowadays. Recovery isn't.
Very bright wallpaper down this 'ere rabbit 'ole
Dang! This rabbit hole is deep.

I've finally got the operating system (Ubuntu 21.04) installed properly.
Its only taken about four days.
I've had issues with the hardware, the installer and with the configuration.
But that's done now - and the machine seems to be working as expected.
So now I'm onto installing the software I want to run.?ÿ
Thankfully QGis was straight forward, and the box is as fast as I was hoping.
Building and installing a Unix box is NOT something I would recommend for most people.
