Okay. I am taking a trip to Fry's electronics tonight, and I need to get an External HDD.

My problem is, most of these drives arent on the compatibility database at all.

I'm looking for a drive that I can use USB Loader GX with no problems.

If any of you have a hard drive from this list, or know what HDDs from this list are compatible, post them here, please. I would greatly appreciate it.

EDIT: I would especially LOVE to get this drive: http://www.frys.com/product/5613901?site=s...CH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
if anyone knows the compatibility for it.

I was at Frys yesterday and picked up a SeaGate Free Agent 500gb HDD for 60 bucks on sale, I could not turn down that deal, It works perfect couldn't ask for better.

I've got this drive (in white) and it works flawlessly.
I can also confirm that Seagate Freeagent Go drives work great. I've set up three of the 500gb models, using multiple partitions, and testing with every loader and homebrew app. These drives are small and work perfectly, and are worth the price.

    I'm running TrueNAS Scale on both my NAS boxes right now. One with 12x 8TB disks and one with 14x 14TB disks :tpi: I've spent way too much fucking money on this hobby
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    @Sicklyboy, do you have a tally how much you sunk in
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @wolffangalchemist, OPNsense! Or, go a step further, and virtualize it :D
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, no and it's better for my mental health if I don't
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    @K3Nv3, pretty much anything with Gigabit lan and a healthy amount of usb 3 ports will make a really good nas.

    Each new drive bought is another therapy expense lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Google fiber use to be nice and supported usb over router be were like nah no one's using it
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, I bought most of these 14TB disks when they were at their cheapest during covid, around 160 a piece I think. Give or take a little, plus a few of those disks are refurbed enterprise disks that were cheaper. So, you do the math :P
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And that's not taking into account the PC hardware that's running it, the rackmount case, the 5.25" bay disk caddys...

    Some would call me insane and I wouldn't blame them.

    Apps like stremio definitely doesn't help my want for one but there are still some shows I'd rather have on local storage not many seed anymore
