Thanks for this. Not any intense software development or anything specific. Largely educational. Definitely looking to have a solid gaming experience. Think I’d still need all that ram and cores? Thanks!

Hey all, It's been over a decade since I last updated my pc (phenom II x6 cpu, gtx 560ti gpu. Yeah. Old). Last upgrade I built myself. I'm looking for help with a new build that would be used for (general) gaming, software development, and watching media. My budget is between $1000-$1500...

Hey all, I got everything setup. I have my Nas connected through Ethernet to my cable modem. I'm trying to drag and drop folders through a folder I created on File Station (51.GB), but it hangs a bit at first and progress is crazy slow thereafter, so I cancelled the operation. Dragging and...

Battery backup as in a UPS?

Thanks. Why not external SSD?

Ah! I figured. Would adding an additional drive fix this?

Done. Thanks. Installed. As far as one drive being for redundancy in case of failure, I shouldn't put any data on it at all to get a complete backup, right? Thanks all!

I'm new to RAID setups. You say to use on drive for redundancy and to choose "SHR". For this part on setup, should I just only select the first two drives? Thanks!

Hey all: I need some help. I plan to upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 11. There seems to be no direct way to do this and Microsoft ceased Windows 7 support. Would the best way to go about this is to upgrade from 10 to 7 then upgrade to 11 from windows 10 there? Thanks!

Thanks All! I'll post when I've decided on a complete solution.

Just a simple backup solution and streaming files. My budget is $1000 but I'm flexible. I'm willing to scale as needed to get a solution with 4 drives.

Cool, Thanks. Could ya'll recommend me a synology box and hardrive package? Thanks!

Hey all: Could you help me find a solid backup and file server solution that's versatile and would let me stream a variety of files to other devices? My main PC has 2TB storage, and I have two external HDD's for storage. (one HDD is 1TB and the other is 2TB) From my research, I gathered that...
