Yes. I bought myself a backup Fritzbox (a router) on the last day |
10 |
before the shops were closed here. If the one in service were to die, |
11 |
I'd be left unable to work from home, and with no wired telephone. |

My experience suggests not to worry too much about these things. On my |
26 |
three year old box I've got no HDDs, just two Samsung 500 GB NVMe M2 |
27 |
SDDs (one mounted on the motherboard, the other on a PCI plug in board). |
28 |
Their partitions are set up in SW RAID-1 (apart from /boot). I just use |
29 |
ext4. |

|
31 |
I've had no trouble in almost three years with these SSDs. All my |
32 |
emergeing is done on a tmpfs (in RAM), for which I've got 16 GB RAM. |
33 |
I've got swap partitions (non-RAID ;-) on the SSDs, but with 16 GB RAM I |
34 |
suspect they don't get used much. |
35 |
|
36 |
And, yes, I do regular backups. Not that I've ever needed them, but if |
37 |
I stopped, I soon would. ;-) |
