Have a NetApp 2.5" 15.3TB SED NVMe U.2 Gen3 2x2 (X-4019A), with no way to test it, zero it, etc. Got it as part of a pallet of electronics at auction. Would really like to figure out the best way of getting health data from it, cos I could easily pay off a CC with this lol

You mean a defunct PSU review website, and a R&D Manager, not engineer. Also, someone who has a history of using ad hominem replies to people in this and other forums if you go through his replies to others. Not an ad hom but that is some sage crap advice. 2 feet of 18awg does not a lot of resistance make. It's more likely a sudden system shutoff would be due to a PSU being overloaded in spikes, or thermal protection on the system. But I digress.

Actually, I don't. Who the are you again?

Same argument Apple uses for why people shouldn't be able to work on their own devices.

This is false when it comes to a properly discharged PSU. And there are more than enough users out there that know how to do this.

I think you are missing the point entirely. It's not whether or not the parts or serviceable, it's the fact that they void the warranty due to the case being opened which is in violation of the MMA. Say, I open the case to blow out dust after a year but do nothing else. I then send the PSU in for a warranty issue due to something. They legally have to prove that my cleaning dust caused the failure. They cannot legally just say "Case has been opened, therefore the warranty is void"

So. Looks like SeaSonic, Corsair, and EVGA all have the classic "open the unit, warranty is void" clause, even tho....that's slightly against the Magnuson-Moss Act. I've got a post going on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/righttorepair/comments/naeiqn/seasonic_opening_the_psu_voids_the_warranty/ I've sent a similar email to EVGA as well and will post their reply.

TO LINUS PERSON Dude, that shout out on WANshow, *thumbs up* Be ready for a few more coming in to say thanks

I must figure out why my scheduled task for F@H to run all night, then close down in the mornings never stuck >.<

Is it time to like, viva la revolucion again over there?

could always 3d print a solution to remove strain on the connectors

It's 100 bucks at pishop.us

Would need to figure out a decent mounting system for it for the use case I have. Only have a 2GB pi4 at present. Won't be useful in a stacked multi-pi scenario (could be done for laughs I guess)

Testy Testy, time to chill out

When people ask for recommendations, then question the advice they are given from people that clearly know what they are talking about *popcorn*
