    Hi!

    I remember I had issues in setting it up. IIRC there was a problem with a too long URL that you where supposed to copy & paste in the browser… And I took me a few tries until I figured that out.

    Beside this, I don’t remember if that was the same issue…

    Maybe you can post the full trace (with redacted credentials)?

    You can pm me of course

    Great watch! I upgraded to a Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar for triathlon and multi-sports. Never been happier.

    For my wife i got a Fenix 7s Pro sapphire solar because the plain 7 went out of production and the I was definitely too pricey.

    Noteworthy that whey keep value over the years.

    Resold my wife Fenix 5 Plus still at good value after so many many years of abuse.

    And I love that you don’t need the app, you can always plug the USB cable and access the entire filesystem of the watch from PC, even Linux.

    That’s why you should always use them as jbod and setup Linux software raid (or zfs raid? Not familiar) directly.

    Never go without a raid… Not a good idea in any case.

    As for heat, I used jbod enclosures with fan, anything with more than 2 drives should have one, or don’t bother.

    I wouldn’t go with single drive enclosures (even if I did for 10 years) as better not to cheap out on this matter. A 4 x 10€ cheap enclosure might be tempting, but shilling out 100€ for a nice actively cooled 4-disk jbod is a much better choice. Then go sw raid on top of it.

    Yes there is someone talking everybody down about USB enclosures*.

    Maybe he got burned or something…

    Can say never had an issue and I replaced many motherboards over 20 years, and also many enclosures.

    Don’t go too cheap, but don’t worry too much. I highly recommend a raid setup anyway. And always do backups, bit this is unrelated to USB specifically

    • not referring to op or the other comment specifically, just noticed in general somebody always negative about USB on all posts lime this.

    I used USB enclosures for my RAIDs for over 20 years. The turning point has been usb3 and then usb-c even better, but I found really no difference as in the bottleneck where the mechanical drives.

    Moved to an all internal sata setup a few months back because I upgraded the space and moved to a desktop form factor.

    Can still recommend the USB approach tough.

    BUY A QUALITY EBCLOSURE.

    I always used Linux software raid, but purchased a 4 slots USB raid/jbod enclosure to keep the number of used USB ports down.

    I never ever had issues with the setup, but I purchased a known-brand enclosure, one with also e-SATA, which unfortunately was/is more a fad than even been really used.
