I'm really bad about asking for help when I need it, but I can't justify committing so much of my pay to keep my server stuff afloat right now, especially if there's a dead drive.

I'm asking for help with some much needed upgrades and some hardware to help with upkeep.

2x High performance 1TB NVMe drives w/cache - ~$350 CAD each

CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD 1500VA UPS - ~$320 CAD

So about $1020 CAD altogether, or ~$1122 after Ko-fi and PayPal fees.

If I can't manage to get enough for the above equipment, I can at least put it towards power bills, which are ~$250 CAD/mo.

The SSDs will go to replace the mis-picked SSDs (Samsung 970 EVO Plus) I originally installed in the server that currently have a wearout percentage of ~34%, just over a year since I powered the thing on. I have no reason to believe the other two SSDs are failing, but I'm running out of space, and I don't trust those Samsung drives for anything important. I'd like to replace them ASAP.

The additional UPS will help split up the load when the power goes out. Currently, I have all the servers and network equipment on one UPS. I'd like to dedicate a UPS to the server, and the other for the network equipment. 

If you're feeling inclined to toss something my way, I would be incredibly grateful! Please be sure to only give if you have the means, and consider others with more urgent needs than my own. 💜

$656/$1122 so far! Thank y'all so much ​:neofox_sob:​

EDIT: Changed target from 1080 to 1122. I didn't realize PayPal took another 5% on top of what Ko-Fi takes. ​:neofox_sob:​ Sorry about that.
