I tried this earlier today with poor results. The purchase appeared to go thru, but after almost an hour the site still showed no key and asked me to check back later. I contacted support, who responded promptly. The email stated that they had flagged the purchase for manual fraud review. And...

I've done 5-10 Unifi networks (some with UDM, some wireless-only) and have mixed feelings. It works really, really well most of the time. Not the cheapest, not the fastest, but Unifi can be highly reliable with very solid performance. Software QA remains a concern, with previously fixed bugs...

Check out the 9212-4i4e. SAS2008 with 4x internal SATA & an external, 4-drive, SAS connector. About $30 on Ebay.

AudioScienceReview's two reviews of Anthem AVRs confirm this. They also show that the DACs are the best part of the Anthems. IOW, an external DAC probably will be bottlenecked by your Anthem's amps.

Seems that the center channel's going to sit inside a box and also block most of the front opening. This will create another resonant chamber, and affect bass loading. Especially if the speaker has ports other than on the front. How many center channels are designed with this placement in...

You probably want to plug any ports when the speaker lives inside another cabinet.

So $200ish, average 1TB/day, capacity no issue. At 140GB/hour, speed needs to beat 40MBps, so any reasonable SSD's fine there. See Intel S3710s on Ebay. Even if 50% used (unlikely!), they have tons of writes left. The $100ish 400GB model is rated for 8PB written, so ~23 years at 1TB/day...

Consider the $110 ER-10X. I like my ER-X a lot, but the 256MB storage is a bit tight.

Looks like you converted hours to seconds.

Audiophonics has affordable Ncore MP options. Because the MP is a fully integrated board, performance should match the Hypex datasheet. Shipping cost may be an issue for US buyers.

I set up a wireless bridge with Loco M5s (IIRC) on a UPS at least 4 years ago. The users don't contact me about updates very often, so I've seen over 400 days of uptime.

Will the clients be able to reply? Always worth a try. Your WAPs should overpower outside interference until your clients get pretty far away. Put any devices that will connect reliably onto 5Ghz. Because wifi timeshares, congestion is a slippery slope. One slow device hurts every other...

1. Both. Use a syncing tool (preferably with versioning) to mirror your folders to another device with a normal filesystem. (You don't want to fuss with a proprietary file format when you need to get back online. Just hook up to another PC & read your data.) These backups will run quickly...

Isn't the Pro warranty 10 years?

Set up a VPN server such as Wireguard or OpenVPN, then connect thru it.
