    Thanks, I really wanted a train in that sunset but it was super delayed.
    I don't crop my photos till I pick what platform they are going on so most of the ones I share here are just the full shot.
    I tend to embrace some noise in my photos, Fuji color science and filter pattern makes it look a lot more like film grain. I also need to be at ISO800 and above to get the most DR.
     
    Feels very sterile, I almost want a funky lens or filter to make it seem less perfect
     
     
    I'm going to do 3 edits of the same image. Again I really embraced the grain here

    They can 🙂
     
    Once you take the NetApp controller out of the equation they are just SAS disk enclosures with nothing special about them at all. Since SAS is compatible with SATA it just works but only the primary data path, no dual pathing and redundancy supported so in larger bay count enclosure you need to connect both data ports and half the disks will show on one cable and the other half on the other cable. Unless it's a much bigger enclosure with a SAS expander but then that's getting in to details most here don't need to be hit with unless they ask.
     
    All you need to use these is a SAS card with external SAS ports and you're good to go.

    @LinusTech @jakkuh_t You should have (just kidding) asked me since we're one of, maybe the biggest or was at one point, Netapp customers in my country.
     
    FYI NetApp is not hardware RAID, that's wrong. NetApp is nearly identical to ZFS (to the point they had nerd fights with each other over who stole what). Those batteries are for the NVDIMM in the controllers. The controllers have NVDIMM as well as read cache cards (now NVMe SSDs for read cache).
     
    The RAID Groups are "vdevs" and the RAID Groups (vdevs) are added to Aggregates which are the same as ZFS Pools. For simplicity sake you can literally think of and talk about NetApp as if it were ZFS and you'd be 80% or better correct.
     
    All those JBODs are missing their second IOM module (SAS interface controller) which makes the JBOD fully redundant and you could lose up to 3 PSUs without loss of access to any disks in it (SAS disks only!).
     
    Overall C- on the technical details 😅

    While the colors look nice everything is quite soft and has quite a bit of noise. The small sensor with high MP count isn't doing so well.

    Love the atmosphere, looks pretty good given the circumstance, but yeah, of course when you're shooting 1/60 for a moving object it's not going to look super sharp. 
     
    Here's mine- I like to call it the Cosmic Koi, I took it in a Chinese garden. Fuji xt30 with a xf56 1.2, iso 640, 1/1000. Going to post the photo as taken, and the edited photo just for kicks.

    I should have set my ISO at 2500, shutter a little faster and maybe ran at F1.8 or 2 and just used the raw latitude but I wanted to push this lens on my first night outing with it

    This is likely more on the SSD manufacture than Asus since swapping in a different drive resolved any/all issues you and the 2nd laptop had.

    I love both versions. The full-color one because it shows an example of the beautiful paint job of old rail cars and the other one because it looks so dated and full of history. The only thing I might change would be to slightly rotate the image in post so the rail car is not slanted and maybe crop the image just slightly at the bottom so the green thing is out of frame. Great shot!
     
    Here's mine. I took this photo a few years ago. It was one of those rare moments where low-hanging clouds or torrential rain both didn't get in the way when photographing lightning.

    I'll give 2 grades for the same shot. Went to the Western Railway Museum a few weeks back for a interurban ride through wildflowers. The ride was nice and the tour after was great.
