You're very welcome. Also if you're still looking, I just saw this one- reasonably good price on a near mint HP G4:…

I'm aware of those considerations, but what's good practice in the context of a data centre environment may not be necessarily relevant to…

SSDs are atrociously bad value for reliable/bulk storage, especially now the manufacturers are using mainly QLC in their largest drives;…

I ended up with a Plugable TBT4-UD5, but that info may not be very useful in itself as it was via an accepted eBay offer ($135 for a…

This is one of those units based on the Intel Goshen Ridge JHL8440 chipset, and if you need its features then for the cost it's actually a…

If you put one in a flashcart for a Nintendo console it also makes Hiroshi Yamauchi roll over in his grave.

SSDs were coming down, but only until Samsung and Hynix et al. colluded to bring the prices back up; I'm still kicking myself for not…

Be careful when considering this model- the 'Thunderbolt 4 Pro Dock' is a completely different SKU to the relatively well-regarded…

Very nice, I’ve been eyeing these for years and I think I can justify the price given how long my HD600s have lasted. Given these are 300…

A Lexar sales rep posted on here previously when the NM790 was being sold for its historical lowest ever price, and had mentioned that (in…

This seems like a good deal for the asking price but it would be worth double-checking this model has all the features you need before…

I've been following the STH deals forums for a while now, and although this model pops up on sale regularly it's always in the context of…

It's frustrating Corsair don't seem to want to restock the lower-wattage versions of this PSU, as I've been wanting one for a NAS but 750W…

I have one of these which I use plugged into a GL.iNet router (really robust setup actually, it was autodetected and I've had zero trouble…

1m Thunderbolt 5 Cable (80Gbps, 240W, Intel Certified) $36.54 (RRP $42.99) + Delivery ($0 Prime/ $59+) @ Cable Matters Amazon AU
Cable Matters make good quality-stuff, so posting this for any interested parties (albeit since there's currently only one model of laptop…

The 923+ can do some level of transcoding, if I'm recalling correctly 1080p should be fine and you can maybe get away with a single 4K…
29/06/2024 - 11:30
By supporting ECC RAM it's closer to the DS923+ in terms of 'enterprise' features, but like the DS423+ you also get the benefit of the…

C246 chipset, noice This is actually really good value, because you can replace the i7 with an i3 8100 or 8300 as an example, to have a…

Tempted to order 4x of these, plus a one of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005006283775362.html

I have a similar Dell thin client- a Wyse 5070, running Daphile OS (DLNA music server), but people generally use them for things like…

Synology products in general attract a premium because the software is easy to use relative to the possible complexity of scalable storage…

Might be overkill for your needs, anything from Ugreen, OWC, Sabrent, Satechi, Orico, etc. should work for USB 3.0 speeds, but I bought…

Thanks for the detailed description, I really appreciate it. From your account it sounds like they might be using the same mechanism (and…

Has anyone here used the HP 970 or 975 keyboards? My Elitebook has perhaps the nicest keyboard I've ever used (apparently the scissor…

I'll confess to having little qualification for an opinion on the subject (only that I'm in the market for a NAS at the moment, and have…
