    • When you’re trying to make it level and hit the studs with your fasteners, it’s much easier with a stick than a whole cabinet carcass.
    • Cleats make the cabinet easy to install and remove.
    • French cleats have a substantial amount of bearing surface and are extremely stable as a result, even without additional fasteners.
      • That said, for a cabinet I would probably still drive a screw from the inside through the back panel into the cleat to eliminate any chance of a strong bump from underneath knocking the cabinet off the cleat. You know, like when you drop that last m4 nut on the desk and it bounces into the corner and you have to reach over your project and soldering iron and cup of coffee to retrieve it and then stand up too quickly in triumph and bang your head off the underside of the cabinet…

    I user to think all professional athletes were grossly overpaid but in general it’s only the “stars” that have the super ridiculous salaries.

    An NFL lineman making $2-6 million a year seems crazy except when you consider that the national leagues are difficult to get into and require the highest level of skill/talent (usually… sometimes you get a real turd like Burfict).

    An injury could kill their career immediately, and they’re all pretty much speed running an entire 30-40 year career (with salary and retirement savings) in half a dozen seasons.










  • Ultimately it’s a matter of personal choice and risk tolerance.

    The Z1 will be simpler and have larger capacity, but if you have a drive fail you’ll need to quickly get it replaced or risk having to rebuild/restore if the mirror drive follows the first one to the grave.

    Your Z2 setup right now can have two drives fail and still be online, and having a wider spread of power-on hours is usually a good thing in terms of failure probability.

    I manage a large (14,000±) number of on-site RAID1 arrays in various environments and there is definitely a trend for drives shipped at the same time to fail at roughly the same time. It’s common enough that we often intentionally swap drives out before shipping a new unit to the customer site.

    On my homelab, I’m much more tolerant of risk since I have trust in my 3-2-1 backup solution and if my NAS goes down it’s not going to substantially affect anything while I wait for a drive replacement.
