If you can get a hold on a 3D printer, you can try this design: Raspberry Pi 4 NAS with 2x 3.5" bays / impulse1delta / printables.com

It’s not about Laptop vs worksation. It’s about how new is the Hardware compared to the Linux Kernel shipping with the LTS distribution. If your hardware is older than the kernel, you will most likely not have any problems. For example, let’s say you use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which ships with Kernel 5.17 releaed in may 2022, if your computer is made of parts released in 2021, no problem.

You say the sound comes from the power supply and the HDD is not plugged into the computer. My diagnistic: the power-supply makes a noise when it operates at very low load (almost 0mA of current), it is probaly making the cyclic noise because of some blinking LED or another very small variation of the loaf somewhere. This is a very common symptom of cheap power-supplies, but it doesn’t necessarly mean it isn’t working normally, just an annoyance.

I suppose, when you plug the HDD to the computer, it spins up and start drawing more current from the power-supply and the noise disapears. This is because the PSU has a buck-converter, the switching frequency increase proportionally with the current drawn by the load. When the current it almost 0mA, the switching frequency can be audible (electromagnetic forces can make some components vibrate, e.g: coils). When the current is nominal, the frequency will be ultrasound and you won’t hear it. I have observed this with many electronic devices. If you are worried, you can try another power-supply, after checking it has the same voltage and polarity on the plug, and can deliver at least as much current as the original one.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, pedal error car accidents are defined as “accidents caused by unintentional acceleration or braking due to driver error.” These types of accidents can result in injuries, property damage, and even fatalities.

16k drivers who don’t have the proper skills to control their vehicules, this sounds like 16k too much to me, doesn’t matter the total number of drivers. It’s like drunk drivers, 1 fatality is already too much.

How obscure are we talking ? Mine was Gandahar (1987). Try to beat that !

The w810i was my first ever mobile phone and also my last dumb phone. I used it for 9 years.

It was still working back then, I changed because i was getting tired of typing on the small keys. I could type without looking, this was pretty cool ! All of the key had worn off anyway 😂

Moving from Windows XP to Windows 7, i found that Windows 7 sucked, moved to linux and never looked back.

I am curious, what is the story behind “L’étoile du nord” ?

Still, the choice of glass is clearly cosmetic (less prone to scratch, nicer look, premium feel), buy technically plastic presents more advantages, it is lighter, absorbes shocks, fairly durable, much cheaper. To make for the most reliable device it would be better, but we know that’s not a priority for any of the manufacturers, and propably also for many customers.
