The 30 second boots are memory training. The motherboard is basically training itself on how the DDR5 memory modules respond on every signal wire and it can be inordinately slow depending in memory amount. For whatever reason, AMD DDR5 systems are slower at it than comparable Intel DDR5 systems.
Update your BIOS to the latest version then enabled "Memory Context Restore". The bios will then save the last training results and stop taking 30 seconds to start up.
A typical low flow toilet flushes about 1.6 to 1.8gal these days.
Normal shower heads flow at about 2gpm.
1.6/2 = 0.8min, * 60sec/min = 48 seconds
Assuming that you are not effectively washing yourself while ijln the middle of waffle stomping. As long as you can waffle stomp in less than 48 seconds, it is a net gain for water usage.
Oh yeah that's a good idea too. Sure any one client device will be limited to 1g but your NAS could use a super cheap multi-port ethernet card to get 2 or 4g bonded link speeds so it can serve multiple devices at full speed.
Yup. Same age, same design, same failures... and array rebuilds are super intense workloads that often force a lot of random reads and run the drive at 100% load for many hours.
Yeah. They got sold once around 1996 and then again to Hasbro in 1998 after they were failing IIRC. So they were kind of an amalgamation of a bunch of different companies
2.5 is still really new in the networking space and nobody has hit economies of scale yet. I very much also want to build out my home LAN to be entirely 2.5g compatible since 1g is limiting for my NAS use case (video storage), 10g is overkill and not supported by my client devices, and I only need 16/24 ports. but good God the hardware just isn't reasonable yet.
You pretty much have to bite the bullet if you really want 2.5 right now.
What might honestly be worthwhile is finding a used enterprise 1g switch with the number of ports you need, and will still be "enough", as those can be had for only a couple hundred dollars. Sit on that for 2-3 years until the 2.5g and 5g hardware market starts to fill out and you can decide how badly you need 2.5g then
Really. Anything branded from Samsung or Crucial(Micron) is going to be fine. They are the top producers of NAND, produce high quality products, and stand behind warranties. But you are gonna pay out the nose for the privilege of enterprise grade hardware.
You might just be buying lower quality consumer SSD's though, since even they should be able to handle a surprising amount of abuse.
If I had a dollar for every time rebuilding a RAID array after one failed drive caused a second drive failure in the array in less than 24 hours.... I'd probably buy groceries for a week.

I also have a zen4 cpu.
