					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR &#8211; ashift=12 performed noticeably better than ashift=13. I recently installed Proxmox on a new build and couldn&#8217;t find any information about the best ashift values for my new NVMe SSD drives. Given that I was installing a brand new server, it gave me a chance to do some quick testing. Here&#8217;s what I found. &#8230; <a href="https://kmwoley.com/blog/zfs-ashift-values-for-samsung-990-pro-nvme-ssds/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">ZFS ashift values for Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSDs</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been annoyed that the fans in my server spin all the time (wasting power, making noise) when they&#8217;re not needed. The only reason they&#8217;re there is to cool my hard drives &#8211; which aren&#8217;t in use half the time. When switching to unRAID, I wanted to fix this.

					<description><![CDATA[By default, unRAID has a few pretty big security vulnerabilities which should be addressed immediately after installation. My take is that unRAID is secure enough to operate within my home network behind a firewall, not exposed to the internet.

You can&#8217;t just turn them off and on again when all else fails. And ignoring the problem doesn&#8217;t make it go away. Empirical testing doesn&#8217;t work either&#8230; try thing A, record result. Thing B, record result.
