Re: Dockstar HW mod: Trying to add native sata - 1 year ago
Yes. Same. Only names are different.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Dockstar HW mod: Trying to add native sata - 1 year ago
The one you posted has eSATA, it was the original version. There's a shrinked version, only one USB, no SATA, even the serial port is covered (no hole) by the yellow side board something like this eBay item eBay item number:274364084475 (completed listing) These are quite old. But BAD SATA is still better than good usb 2.0 in performance.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Dockstar HW mod: Trying to add native sata - 1 year ago
I guess if you have the simplified Dreamplug / Appneta m22 (those without SATA), maybe you can mod it without lifting up the CPU... Since dreamplug / m22 has 512MB memory, it would be more powerful.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 1 year ago
And if your WD 8TB drive has 256MB cache and slow writing, guess it is SMR as well.... they give you such large cache for a reason, the seller is always smarter...by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 1 year ago
https://www.cnet.com/products/seagate-mobile-st1000lm035-hard-drive-1-tb-sata-6gb-s/ it is SMR. SMR reading is as fast as old drives, but when it comes to writing something, it needs to (re)write much more than the data we intend to write.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: I done messed up! Lost uboot partition. - 2 years ago
You have kwboot already, no jtag is needed. I grabbed a used Goflex home online sometime ago, first removed the HD, then inserted a usb root file system, kwboot it with a raspberry pi zero (added usb hub, wireless network adapter), I used Rpi 0's /dev/ttyAMA0 (saved one usb-serial adapter). In debian, I flashed the uboot of goflex home. BTW, I used Raspbian Stretch, and kwboot wasby daviddyer - uBoot
Re: PogoPlug E02 install to NAND - 2 years ago
I tried that on dockstar. (USB flash drive for debian / cups / airprint + wireless usb card , for my HP 1022 printer) VERY slow air print speed... so I changed to Rpi zero, then changed to rpi 0w when 0w was out.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: PogoPlug E02 install to NAND - 2 years ago
Rpi0w is the best choice for airprint server. I have one at home.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: PogoPlug E02 install to NAND - 2 years ago
NAND is not big enough for modern debian. Try openwrt and use it as a backup / rescue system. thread here: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,86219by daviddyer - Debian
