You don’t have to power the HDD via the motherboard, I’m 99% certain. No modern PC I’ve ever seen requires this. Your manual is ambiguous about connecting an HHD - it doesn’t explicitly say connect the power to either mobo or PSU which sows confusion. Furthering the confusion is that there are two SATA power connectors but those are not for 3.5” drives, they are for low-power bs like card readers. But big power hungry drives must be connected to the PSU directly. (Check your 10TB HDD and take a look. If it actually is connected via your mobo, you could try re-directing just the power to your PSU and see if it works (it will)).

For your new HDD, just see if there’s a 4-pin Molex from your PSU that is unused and get an adapter, or get a splitter for one of the existing SATA power cables from the PSU and stick it into the HDD, alongside the SATA data cable from the mobo.

Two more minor issues:

1. Your power supply might struggle with any more than 2 HDDs. Since you’re just putting in a second, you should be good, but maybe check your PSU to see if you have any headroom. Your manual says you might have a 180W PSU, or a 210W or a 260W. It’s worth taking a look to avoid any future problems.

2. Are you using TrueNAS to run these drives in RAID? If so, as far as I know, with TrueNAS RAID you can’t mix different HDD sizes in a RAID. Or you can, but it downsizes to the smallest drive size, so you’d effectively have two 8TB drives. If no RAID then I think you’re golden.

Such good advice and so sad as well

So sorry. Please see a therapist if you can afford it, this sounds like a big deal.

That’s a good point, but unfortunately I’ve never seen any evidence that your body does or does not absorb the lead from psyllium fiber, or if the fiber maybe even absorbs more lead from your body on the way through. All I know is that psyllium fiber has lead in it, and that there are other sources of fiber that don’t.

Sorry to rain on your parade but psyllium plants soak up lead, and ConsumerLabs tested different brands and they all had significant lead, and like half of them had more lead than California’s suggested maximum. No way to avoid it. I switched to Citrucel or something generic that doesn’t have that problem.

Your comment is so pedantic and dorky and I love it

I may or may not be a lawyer, but if I am, I am not your lawyer and this comment is for entertainment purposes only.

At the core, a non disclosure agreement (NDA) just means you agree to keep your mouth shut about something, often in exchange for hearing about an investment idea or as part of a legal settlement.

Like most contracts, the consequences to the breaker are going to be no more than the actual damages to the other side.

So how much money did it cost them? Or the money value of the reputational harm? That’s probably the most you would be on the hook for. Unless the contract itself enumerates the amount of the “damage” for a breach, but whether they can actually enforce that is a can of worms.

This will hurt US tourism and social media companies more than anyone.

These are misconceptions, or rather a bit out of date.

Wind and solar are much cheaper than fossil fuels now. Significantly cheaper.

And is an old school investment bank presenting this information.

Even for running a car, using solar-produced electricity is a fraction of the cost of gasoline; gas is 3-5x more expensive.

And nuclear is not anywhere near as cheap as wind or solar unfortunately, although we haven’t put much effort into making it more efficient for a few decades now so that might change.
