Cast

gollark: And I don't have a spare PSU anywhere.
gollark: 5V1A is *probably* not enough for it to run itself + a HDD at high load.
gollark: Turns out I don't actually have a USB power supply for it around for some reason. No idea how that happened.
gollark: I have a Pi, USB/SATA bridge and 1TB laptop disk lying around, so I was going to use that as a somewhat physically separated backup for my server.
gollark: People have done smaller ones to learn more about parallel computing things, but 26 seems excessive for that.
