The same stuff was said about SSDs when they first came out. this is a crucial m4 ssd which was bought maybe a decade ago (or more). It was the Primary OS driver on my desktop, then the primary drive on my laptop and finally it became a data storage drive as the capacity was just not up to...

I used truenas core on a proliant microserver gen10. Handles plex fine, also run the qbittorrebt app on it for seeding 24/7

It's too old, it might perform fine on low resource tasks, but it will use so much more power and produce heat then anything recent. But what can you do? You can't sell them for more than a tenner (£6 of which I'd your auction and postage costs) and you can't really throw away perfectly good...

Hi I'm not a gamer of up to date games. I play just civ5 and I use my computer as my entertainment & work computer. Videos, streaming content and doing a lot of batch processes in photoshop and looking into doing some entry level video edititing (for my ecommerce business - making youtube...

Why does this happen? I noticed this with phones and my DSLR. I had to foreveer keep reconnecting devices again. I have a cheap ebay USB hub that disconnects devices (for some reason keyboard and mouse connected the the hub never have issues). It seems to be storage devices which suffer from...

That's beautiful. I'm 36 now, I used to read computer mags since I was a schoolboy. I would always dream of building a watercooled gaming rig like this, but never had the time or money to do one. Sadly I don't play video games any more so I don't think that dream will ever be realised now.

These £6 licenses are stolen keys bought with stolen credit cards.

Ordered the wrong time, secured a pair. But it's been held by UPS for more than a week. A well known auction site I use had a special offer on for buying shipping labels through them, 50% off until end of June. They may have swamped UPS as they are struggling to cope. Now The status says that...

Hey I've bought a proliant microserver gen10 x3216 I'm happy with it, works well - have a demanding app running in VM and is coping fine with 60% cpu utilisation. I need some more ram though. Anyone know if a 16GB & 8GB ram will work. Or will I need to remove the 8GB stick when I buy the 16GB...

I was just asking what the gen10+ has (assuming the power requirements for both units are the same). the 1U psu don't come in small increments, and tend to come in bigger step up, 150w, 200w etc. Where as power bricks come in much smaller increments. I found the 1U psu in my gen7 was really...

what is the wattage on the power brick on the 10+? Reason I ask is I am using a gen7 with a 120w brick which is fine, but I noticed gen10 uses a 200w psu, so I'm trying to work out if gen10 requires a 200w power brick or not. I want to buy a gen10 and use a picopsu on it.

With 60K deposit, the house will have to fall a LOT before you get into negative equity.

So, I bought some new rams (used) for my humble proliant microserver N36L. I dont know if it's because of low performing CPU, but it only managed to do 4 passes in 24 hours (2x8GB). Am I good? I read someone that 3 passes are good, but to be as certain as possible 8 passes is ideal (any more...

Those were the good days, it's a shame I was too young back then. I suppose it's not entirely risk free. But their risk/reward needs to be balanced. They're charging tiny amounts of interest and for that they need to make it a 100% guarantee. Shame they don't look at your rental payments as...

Sure if you're buying a house as an investment, not the case if you're buying it to live in. because I'm paying £14,400 to my landlord to pay his mortgage. property values will go up and down. But you'll have to be quite unlucky to buy at the high and then have the value fall by 20% after...

haha yes, I watched a yt video [which makes an an expert on the subject] about the scam of hedge funds. Most don't even beat the ftse100 index, which makes you wonder what do they spend all their day doing? Stockmarket is basically when the economy is booming, and idiot can make money from it...

it's running inside VM and won't contain anything personal to me. So it's no biggie if it has viruses inside it. Doing my own lite build does seem like a lot of work and time investment for not much return.

after trying various ISOs for the best part of the last 2 days. I posted the thread above and decided to look once more. I found a lite windows 10 install with uefi and installs on my freenas. It's an OPREKIN version, and they've put their brand all over the install. Is this group trustworthy?

Hi I have freenas running on my home server and I need to install a VM instance of windows 10 on it. I managed to install a windows 10 instance on it, but the install alone took 22.5GB of space. It didn't run very well either becasue the system only had 8GB ram total (2GB dedicated to the VM...
