  • I’ve bought several used/refurbished drives from Amazon. Always HGST. I have not had any issue with them yet and some have been going for 4-5 years.

    There are caveats though. The ones I bought have had the smart data wiped… So there is no way to know exactly how many hours they really have on them. Also the label is replaced so there no way to see manufactured year. I have no idea how old or beat up these things really are.

    I don’t put anything important on them. Just backups.

    Community syncing occurs in the background and is available to you through local instance. I don’t know exactly how fast federated info syncs over, but seems reasonably fast in the last day I’ve played with it. For images, I think your client pulls the images from the original post link or original instance. Not really sure about that TBH.

    HA is on you to set up.

    Updates by docker should be easy moving to the latest image. However, there could be extra steps to update database structure. We’ll have to see how that goes.

    Yes I’m posting this through my own instance using wefwef app.
