Question… has anyone rented out one of the GT500-H Shelby’s?

@zaimer did

@TheSmoke09 the mention of EV has you thinking about the new GT500…?

My man, what kind of smoke are you on. :joy:

But yes, I have, and it was glorious. It would’ve been nearly a 10/10 if it were available in a man’s transmission. :smiling_imp:

FYI-

Beware of the cheap deals on the SanDisk Extreme/PRO SSDs out there. Seems there is now a super high failure rate and data loss? Recent Amazon reviews have been brutal.

I have 3 of these that are now all over 2+ years old and it looks like many of the complaints are from newer purchases. I rotate backups and will rotate these out altogether now.

Have used SD and WD products for many years (video, camera, storage HD/SSDs) and now will have to think twice because the company seems to be dodging the issue completely.

I’m actually considering a solution for personal/home file & photo storage.

I hate the idea of cloud based storage (vulnerability is the only concern)

What are your thoughts on setting up a local Wi-Fi-based NAS storage at the house?

Not cheap for the NAS and each drive, but if you have a ton of data it is a great the way to go. What scares me are the multiple points of failure: the NAS device and then each drive in each bay. You almost would need to have a minimum of two (main NAS and backup) to be safe (one offsite for sure).

How much data are we talking about here?

That’s the benefit of RAID 5 or other RAID types, at least if one drive fails you’re still good, but then you still have to worry about multi-drive failure or a physical loss like a fire or water damage.

I have a homemade NAS with 3x 12TB WD RED’s, I don’t have that much data, but at least I don’t need to think about it for a long time.

For off-site, you can setup a second NAS and have them sync, or you can go with something like Synology C2, which is their offsite solution meant to work with their NAS’s.

What’s the point of these ?

Good setup, and it all depends on your needs.

With 4 macs (2 desktops and 2 laptops) what I do is have each desktop internal HD (iOS and programs only) backed up 3 every days automatically with Carbon Copy Cloner. Same thing for the external HD/SSD for data, and another for photos only. Do a backup on each laptop once per week or so on CCC as well (only 1 SSD internal on each) to one external SSD for each. I have a physical backup for each desktop, and swap those out with one in a fireproof safe and one offsite. Keep 2x for each laptop in the manner.

Pretty easy to configure with a bunch of SSDs and HDs, and you keep the failure point to each discrete SSD/HD. With external HDDs now being less than $250 for 16TB this is an easy and cost effective way to keep it all backed up and safe.

Home Backup system in general or portable SSDs?

All I did was ask if anyone has rented the Hertz Shelby GT500H and if there’s a rental hack … :neutral_face:
