I’ve four 1TB 860 Pros in RAID 10 VMfs for my 8 24x7 VMs. Not a large workload but also far away from static file storage. 37,696 hours and the WLC on all the drives is 94.
The 100TB SSD volume we had as workspace for all the video edits at the sports league I oversaw tech for did see a massive number of R/W cycles. Just need to buy drives suited to the job.
Well, i doubt it'll work:
Deep cycle battery should never been used past 50% decharge ( it'll shorten it's life if you do so).
If you need an inverter then there is losses ( usually along the 20% range).
So if you want to know how long would hold your battery you have to take all power of the gear connected and find an online calculator.
Here is an example in french ( i've not found an english link with inverter's coefficient taken into account ( x0.8)):
https://www.watteo.fr/connaitre-lautonmie-dune-batterie-decharge-profonde/
Convertisseur de tension: inverter.
So i tried with your battery and an inverter it gives you 12hours use for 50w ( cumulated power of all loads...).
This is for example what i plan to implement for the circulating pump of my home's central heating system ( to run fully off grid in case a big storm strike grid in winter time- which happen in here from time to time).
I doubt only the Akai gear would be powered...
Multiply the number of battery cells... EG for a 600w load for 12hours i would need something like 12 battery like yours...

There is no timeline into the groove: the cutter is set to a speed, mastering engineer adapt this speed (33 or 45) relative to level and bass content material (and time of audio to be engraved of course).
The only exception where the engraved signal IS a timeline ( thus no audio) is for dj controller system like Serato or the likes. In this case the vinyl is used to drive a software, it's the 'base' timeline the software use for time/pitch stretching.
I think i get your concept and it is what i described with an optical head ( for my understanding).
Size of file is another different problem, and now we have Flac it mostly solve it imho.
The way industry worked since birth of CD is to store into DDP files.
Most vinyls are first transfered through this format to be sent to cutter facility as 99% of production is now digital. The use of digital format upfront a cutter greatly simplify ( and open new ways to treat signal beforehand) and speed up process than fully analog.

The big problem with optic vinyl players is that there is no needle to push away dust particles, every minute particle that is in the groove is seen as a solid object by the beam. This creates the need for records to be ultra clean, otherwise the noise and clicks are unbearable. Basically you need a clean room to make it work.
Hi,
Maudio have you ever heard one?
The cleanness is a real issue with stylus too: the OM40 doesn't tolerate any dust at all. Surprisingly 310mc is far more tolerant about it and retrieve much more info. Ortofon Concorde Club is less impacted too.

I have a new 130 amp hour gel and 50lb trhust watersnake. Will be getting some Lifepo for this as the gel cell is very heavy. I wouldnt mind leaving it at home to some capacity
All the gear listed expect for the MX-1 and JDXI run of USB bus power. The MX-1 has four USB instrument audio channels (USB host for Aira link) of which one port also passes on bus power for the devices like the VT-4 and E-4
Getting my digital gear off the grid is fairly high priority
The internal drive is a 500gb hard disk. I am thinking of installing one of the new Crucial internally SSD internally and moving the default windows save locations there as well as workspace scratch drive use
The second 500gb SSD in external USB3 and used for music video library storage
The Toshiba 1tb USB3 hard drive for backing up the system drive image and video library image. To be updated with a new image after filing new material to the library or installing new software to the system
This leaves me with one new spare 500gb SSD and an older 256gb mSATA SSD
What do you guys think about setting up a swap cable to the system drive to run a different OS on the same machine without bothering with dual boot. I am keen to explore a 'Hackintosh' in this manner. Have any of you guys done this?

I made some USB sticks to boot from Linux. Set the BIOS to boot from USB first, then HDD second.
This is for a PC.
You won't need a "swap" cable... just plug your SSD into the USB via an adapter.

Ok, got my PC now setup to the last plan. Moved all the user folder sub folders and OneDrive, iCloud Drive and downloads folder to one Crucial SSD mounted internally. Now the only thing on the system HDD is Windows 10 and installed programs
Moved the Music Video clip library to external Crucial SSD
Backed up user work folders to OneDrive
Backed up mp3 and photo libraries to iCloud 200gb paid subscription
Backed up all the drives to the 1 TB Toshiba external HDD
Now to optimise for work. I am getting quite low transfer speeds between these drives. It hovers between 30 and 109 MB/s, and I think maybe the gen 6 intel may be lacking? I am not sure on this as I haven't kept up to speed with computers for the last 15yrs
I am thinking of buying another refurb biz pc from eBay. What would be the minimum architecture to run these drives as well as USB 3.0 at their full potential?

As of now, my system is using 2 4TB HDD's in RAID0 (8TB total) periodically backed up to an external 8TB HDD. The / /boot/eft and /home are all on a fast NVMe. I then have Yandex.disk (20$ a year for 400GB) mounted into the filesystem, and backup my phone/photos to it over SFTP which then syncs up to Yandex.disk (and I then have a local copy as well as in the cloud).
It works in Linux but you can't mount yandex.disk in Windows as far as I know, they just have a client app.

This is within my budget. Is there much point in going with the 6th gen i7 over 5th gen i6?
My current pc is this one that I have added all these new drives to. Is there much point in upgrading to either of the two linked above? Work is FreeCAD and FL Studio with a bit of Gimp and Blender

So far as I know, there was no i6... did you mean i5?
the 6th gens are ancient by now. For those generations, the i7 was a quad core... I believe. By the time you come to the 10th gen, the processing got far more robust. Surely... can't you find an tenth gen i7? Do you have to pay taxes to the Oz Tax Lords?
USB3 is very fast... 3.1 is faster. Much, MUCH faster than USB2. For data files this should not be a huge issue. If you have the application cache on the USB3 drive you will see some delays on start up and shutdown of a program that uses those application caches. Like my email tool - thunderbird...
Eons ago I was employed by a very large global manufacturer.. I went down to Brisbane and Canberra to check them out and see if I could help them - they were like years behind.. Turns out they were still using NT while the rest of the World was done with XP... I joked that if I brought my laptop from the States I would have more processing power than the entire crew in Oz. Needless to say, I did not go down there to help them out... what's the matter with you guys in Oz? Why so far behind the times?

Lol, it's not just computers. Seems like I have spent a lifetime promoting jigging and popping techniques, Japanese style and headbutting the drown fish to the death in the name of sport mentality. I see people losing fish after fish to bad knots and sharks. No one seems mentally prepared to accept things like spliced loops and leader systems. JDM tackle now resembles light bass outfits, but can skull drag a 30 kg GT in, but they are selling and promoting rods with basket ball hoop class guides on it. When I used to be the main sponsor of ANSA, I forced a move to include a new class of records based fish length against a brag mat with absolute disregard for line class. This at least meant that 20 clubs wouldn't gather on Botany Bay on a tournament weekend and drown 10 kg yellowtail kings on 1 kg line for 10hrs to fight for records. Bring the fish in healthy, kill it to eat or take a pic and let it go
The shop called battery world doesn't carry lithium!
Enough of that, it is what it is
https://online.acer.com.au/refurbis...n-8gb-ram-512gb-ssd-nvidia-gt-730-refurbished
This is a 2.5ghz 11th gen i7 refurb for $1000. Out of budget for a Windows machine for me, as I am saving up for a new Mac mini. That is why I requested to find out the minimum architecture need for the speeds around USB 3.0 or my new SSDs in internal use. I was quite happy with the processing speeds of my old i7 laptop but find my current read and write speeds on this i5 machine a bit slow when moving lots of data around and browsing folders that have around a hundred or more files in it

This where I would like to spend that $100 instead. I should just throw max ram at the current i5 pc and just get the mac only instead of messing with a faster Windows machine too. I have never used a mac before so wonder if I get the M2 mini, would I find myself returning to a Windows machine?

FWIW: I tried one of the first Mac mini with Intel CPU back in 2007ish. I never looked back. I do have one Windoze machine that I keep for my AP audio analyzer, but everything else is Mac. I just upgraded my laptop to one with an M2 PRO CPU. Love it.

Tom, that's just making me feel more like dumping all the Windows machines altogether and just going for a mini with a pro M2 chip and just multitasking with that. I think that should be able to play HD vids on one wall while hammering FreeCAD on another wall. Would save a lot of space and headaches. I went to an iPhone 3GS when new and never looked way. The dam iPhone line just looks after itself from model to model to my current 11 and still has all my data and info without missing a beat and from 6 onwards pretty much took care of picture and music libraries too
Personally, I'd buy one of these over a Mac mini M2 any day: https://www.bee-link.net/collections/computer/products/beelink-amd-ryzen-7-7735hs-mini-pc
