MiscroSD as a cold storage/backup drive in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

Flash-based devices as cold storage is a bad idea.

HM-SMR (Host Managed-SMR) that requires specialized hardware and software

So the history made full circle right to ST interface times.

Will wait until they invent IDE concept again.

Toshiba P300

Is a nice drive to store stuff on, it's cold and quiet, but it is a nightmare to write stuff on.

Write speed starts on optimistic > 100 MB/s, and gradually drops to 25 MB/s on long (hundreds of GBs) writes.

"rent my roof" for a new wireless start up in my area.

Looks suspicious already

they are installing an antenna on my roof and it will be hardwired to my router..

It smells not very good

.they have assured me that my personal network would be at no risk

If they are wired their access point (I suppose this "antenna" is one) to a LAN port of your router, I am suspecting you are exposing all your network to the wireless network this access point creates.
