The lonely tech post thread.

Can I have a sense check here:

Situation: All local music is on my old ancient PC which I have networked. Music is c1TB. I don't want to have my old PC on all the time. My plan is to buy this: 5 TB My Passport Ultra for Mac (Recertified) | Western Digital

I happy to take a risk with it being recertified and will have it plugged into my Mini PC permanently.

Is this the most cost effective solution? I don't want to pay out for a NAS Solution.

Seems a good price and it's likely to be new or almost new. You'll have to format it to work with Windows.

I was worried one of the cats or me was going to get electrocuted with the open power supply for that Fosi amplifier on my desk, so until I come up with a more permanent solution (probably one aluminium case for both), I designed and printed a housing for it.

Thor was my cat who didn't come home, in case anyone wonders.
