    Gaming laptops that use USB-C PD 3.1 for power?

    So my experience has been more with the recent dell laptops and MacBooks. Manufacturers have gotten better about making the laptops "smart charge". IIRC, trickle charging isn't better so I don't know if that's something they really want. To maximize battery life, they say it's charge less and...

    Gaming laptops that use USB-C PD 3.1 for power?

    The spec is too new for manufacturers to jump on board with that especially when thunderbolt 4 is just starting to roll out. TB4 spec was finalized in late 2020 and we're barely seeing TB4 laptops and devices coming out. TB4 only supports 100w, but Dell does make 130w USBC power adapter that...

    Best Way to Move a Rack

    Our datacenter used a big Appliance dolly to roll our rack into the freight elevator and rolled it into its new spot on a different level.... so envious our houses don't have elevators... When I moved mine at home, I had stairs inside the house, steps outside the house, and then the moving...

    When are we going to get beyond 5tb in the 2.5inch form factor - what is the hold up?

    I'm pretty sure SSDs have killed R&D into the 2.5" market. why make higher capacity spindle drives when faster SSDs are the future? They'd rather research and invest in high capacity SSDs than spindle drives. Bigger spindle drives can't match SSDs in performance and produce more heat and use...

    Looking For Ideas On Server Software Architecture

    Did you ever get going on this? Regardless of which route you take, there will be some learning in installing and running either proxmox or esxi. I haven't started down the proxmox path, but Ido use the esxi free version for home and higher end vsphere paid version for the advanced features...

    Has anyone compared FreeBSD ZFS vs ZFS on Linux?

    ooo perfect timing for me as I'm looking to decommission my old ZFS server and was looking at ZOL stuff since it's caught up to ZFS on FreeBSD. I'm curious as to what people use to manage their ZFS. All command line? any web front ends? I'm looking at a new storage server for backups

    Have HDDs gotten any faster in the last decade?

    my 10 year old WD 1TB Greens average 60-70MB/s. It had not occurred to me that they were all running at SATA 2 (3gbps) until I picked up new drive in Nov and realized it ran at 200MB/s as a spindle drive... Time to upgrade my 7 year old servers to the latest 6gbps...

    Recording with 2 cams

    2 ways come to mind: recording each camera and then combining the two in post after its done to create a new file. All the work and time is spent after the game is done to add graphics and text, etc. This would need a separate video editor like Adoboe Premier or movie maker, etc. mixing them...

    Need Anti-Virus Recommendations

    Interesting read if you missed it. This was the big reason why we had to remove Teamviewer, Logmein, and all other remote programs from our environments. To be fair, Avast bought Piriform and discovered it was compromised before it got bought, so it wasn't really a technical/developmental fault...

    Best bang m.2 NVMe

    I would advise getting a 500+GB if you don't want to look for a new SSD in a year or so for 2 reasons. 1) extra space never hurts 2) SSD performance goes down as the drive fills up. So u start to see performance drops once u get 50% fill on cheaper drives. I grabbed a Samsung PM981 off Ebay for...

    Anyone else use Seagate Ironwolf drives?

    These days, I buy drives based on the ease of the RMA... I expect the drives to fail and if it's really important, I'll pick up a cold spare to use while I RMA the def one. There are sometimes differences between size/models and It's good to check other user experiences and backblaze. I haven't...

    PC-Q25 Replacement

    RAID is not a backup... RAID just keeps ur data accessible while a drive dies... having a second server with RAID could be a backup solution :-p Or having a friend with a server can be a backup solution... Or having a bunch of external USB drives... I like this case: SilverStone DS380B it's...

    NAS vs. DAS vs. other

    Option 1 & 2 are close enough to the same thing that it's just a matter of your time vs your money... Those servers are cheap enough and enterprise reliable enough, you might not want to spend the time/effort to building your own server. For a gaming/performance PC then possibly, but for a...
