Okay then, how many passes do you recommend?

Correct, had 4 drives in a RAID 5 configuration. I was going to use the command shred against the drives, 3 passes to be sure. There is no hurry.

Okay, good to know. The drives are 3.5 SATA Drives, 2.0 TB for storage.

I have Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA I/II/III Hard Drive Adapter (see below). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011M8YACM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have decommissioned a Western Digital MyCloud EX4 and I need to wipe the 4 drives that lived in the NAS. I have a Sabrent SATA to USB connector and tried to wipe the drives from Ubuntu, but when viewing the drives with gdisk -l and lsusb, I could see a ton of errors, for some reason. I...

I cannot figure out why this isn't working, hoping others might have some insight. I have an 8 GB bootable ISO and I'm trying to get it to boot off of a 190 TB SSD. The SSD currently lives on a workstation, and can be taken in and out the workstation on a hard drive sled. The ISO is a Red...

Just wanted to follow up. I was able to upgrade successfully following the information in this thread and others from this forum. These URLs might help others who are trying to upgrade SSD on their laptops: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBfJsoc8zzk...

Thanks for the help, it worked. I was able to upgrade the m.2 SSD from 500 GB to 2 TB. Won't run out of room now for all of the VMs that I have. I haven't worked with SSD before, however once using the Samsung migration tool and following the directions, it was fairly easy.

Correct. This external M.2 SATA port only has one port. The laptop motherboard has two ports, AFAIK.

Will it make a difference that this m.2 SSD is connected via a JIUWU AD905A SATA III 3 via a Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD converter?

I'm surprise I'm having much trouble with this. I'm thinking I'm missing a step somewhere. I have a Sager Laptop running Windows 10 Pro with all of the latest patches and updates. The OS (C:\) currently lives on Samsung V-NAND SSD 860 EVO SATA M.2 500 GB and want to upgrade to the same...

This is the case, looks like it is back in stock as of right now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007RV6AKY/?coliid=I1XI1NBCO87XUX&colid=6EZX78W2XZZ3&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Well, if I build a system for Free NAS I want it to be nice and last for a period of time to recoup my cost that I sink...

Hello, I'm currently in the process of specing out new hardware for something that can host Free NAS Server, which will replace a 5 year of EOL WD MyCloud EX4 NAS. I'm starting with the case, wanting either a mini tower or small form factor. I found one on Amazon, however its out of stock...

Laptop is a Sager NP6853. Also here is a screenshot of the SSD Storage
