48th streak and PC build (Proxmox)
I found an old PC from garage today, completely dismantled and cleaned and assembled again with my mate. i5 7th gen processor. wiped my old win 10 and converted into proxmox server. still i'm building the cabinet. once i finish the setup. i'll post the photo in this page.
after installing proxmox, I've done some health checks on my ssd. i learned a lot of information about health checks, using LLMs i learned few cli commands, which is pretty cool. these are commands i worked with today.
bash
Copy
Edit
smartctl -a /dev/sda # Check SMART health of SSD
hdparm -t /dev/sda # Run buffered read speed test on SSD
hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep -i speed # Check supported SATA signaling speeds
hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep -i "SATA" # Show supported SATA revisions
dmesg | grep -i 'sata' # Confirm drive link speed and port status
dd if=/dev/zero of=~/testfile bs=1M count=1024 oflag=direct # Write speed test (1GB direct write)
rm ~/testfile # Delete test file after benchmark
