The external SSD or it's adapter, of my homelab, shat itself.
FUUUUCK!!!!
I only set it up 2 weeks ago.

Consumer SSDs have no business being in any lab equipment IMO.

My primary rig runs off of 6 SAS drives using raid 10.

Everything else runs on WD reds, with the exception of my gaming rig which does have an nvme drive for the OS.

Servers and their apps really have too much IO to legitimately use SSD unless you pay thousands of dollars.

Also, my condolences on your rig sir.
