Yeah. I have a Synology and backed up everything except... this PC. It was just the "gaming PC" and then I realized that I would rather not re-install everything and try to recover the drive. It's set up on the Synology now.

Ouch. I'm am grateful to have picked up the "When in doubt, back it up anyways" habit before getting burned.

I have this with movies. I don't back them up because of the storage requirements. Everything is ripped from BluRays that I own, but... can I be bothered re-doing them?

If you'd already built out the automated "Some stranger on the Internet ripped it for me" workflow you could say that usenet is your backup.

A buddy just gifted me a decomm'd Synology RS2416+ w/ expansion unit full of drives that could, just, back up what I have... and I am definitely not going to do that.

I don't think 42C is at all hot for an NVME SSD. But I don't recall the suggested limit offhand.

> TO HAVE BACKUPS

Agree. I admire the diagnostic skills and ingenuity to recover the data, but was thinking I would just restore from backup in the same situation. But I'm weird. I have a "home lab" file server with a true server H/W that my desktop and laptop back up to as well as a remote server that the local one backs up to.

Generally safe operating temperatures are between 0 and 70 degrees celsiuis.

e.g. Samsung https://download.semiconductor.samsung.com/resources/data-sh...

For some reason the Max field in the picture says 42.4°, but if you look at the center target you'll see that it says 88.7°. I missed it too at first and was equally confused.

That says 38.7C I think. I have a standalone FLIR which plugs into an iphone, and the way it works is: min/max/avg=min/max/avg of current frame, and the temperature written in the center is temperature at the crosshair. Hence the crosshair temperature cannot be > max.

Ah yeah. I also misread it as 88,7, but looked after your commend and lo and behold, it says 38,7 :)

That would be bad but I read that as 38.7c.
