I work 50% from home and 50% on site, to make life easier for me I bought a 2 meter long desk, have my gaming\personal PC using a 38" monitor, keyboard and mouse. Then next to me on the same 2 meter desk is a 34" monitor connected to a laptop via USB C, wireless keyboard and mouse. I spend my working from home day sliding across the desk, use my computer and peripherals to watch TV\Movies, slide back to the work side of the desk and watch\listen to the movies TV was working from home. All the work side was paid for by work, I didn't buy a second monitor\laptop in order to do this. My video suggestion, how would you organise a working from home and personal rig setup?

That looks like it may do what I need, I would need to see if I could create multiple timed syncs though as I need different destinations depending on the folder.. I had not heard of this before tho so will look into it. Thank you

I don't think that would work as I need it to be split to different drives depending on the folder, but before my edit I explained it wrong. Your solution would have worked otherwise.

I am looking for the easiest way of automating a copy from one folder in a drive to another folder in sperate drives. Drive 1 - 500gb Folder A Folder B Folder C I would like to cut and paste to Drive 2 - 6TB Folder A Drive 3 - 6TB Folder B Drive 4 6TB Folder C Looking for a way to automate this in the early hours, is there a certain back up software solution that would work best? Would you recommend a script to run? it really is cut from Drive 1 to the relevant folders in drives 2, 3 and 4. It needs to not override or sync data on the destination drives, just add to the drives.. Basically I need to be able to move files from Drive 1 into their relevant folders, then in the early hours of the morning it does some automatic house keeping and moves them into their relevant folders on the correct drives and then clears the temp Drive 1. I do a fair amount of large file transfers and the small 500gb drive is a fast NVMe with a 10g connection. The larger drives are older 5400rpm HDDs and I would like to be able to copy data to the smaller NVMe quickly and then allow it to then transfer to the slower drives when I am not waiting on progress bars or have to monitor it. Thanks,

yeah but that's exactly why I want two different ones. This one to have two drives in RAID 1 just for photos and the back ups.. all photos taken from mine and my wife's phone of the kids will get uploaded daily to those two drives in RAID 1.... then a second better SATA adapter like you suggested for the main NAS system that does not need to be backed up as securely.

THANK YOU lol that is all i needed nice and simple

Really really simple question... I know what slot that fits into... but does it also fit into the longer slot that the graphics card usually sits in.. yes it will be a waste of a x16 slot but will it work? its for a NAS and I need to install this AND another SATA pcie adapter card. The cheap mobo i have has the larger slot for graphics cards and only one small slot that this will fit into. Thanks,

I am currently on a 1060 and until recently that has been fine for what I needed, yes in the last year it has not be fantastic but with a 1080 60hz monitor it did the job. I now have a 1440p 144hz monitor and with the 1060 my games need to run at medium settings at best. I want to upgrade my graphics card ASAP but have a budget of about £500. about $650. That gets me a basic RTX 3070.. when we can get them. But I have been looking at the reviews and in game benchmarks the 3070 is comparable to the 2080ti... I would also like to watercool my graphics card but purely for aesthetic reasons.. I know that I could use that money to bump up to a better graphics card but I don't need a 3080. A 3070 or 2080ti will play all my games in 1440p and still get between 110-130 fps. So my question... do I wait to get a 3070... even though it will be the lower end ones, and I don't think they will make a water block for it but that's just a guess. or do I get a preowned 2080ti which will serve my needs perfectly and I can get a water block for it... or should I get AMDs equivalent as my monitor is free sync not Gsync?

Evening All, Okay really really quick question. I have two SSD's in my system both around 500gb. A Samsung 850 Evo and some random off brand SK Hynix maybe you've heard of it but its new to me. I currently have them as separate drives, use the Samsung for OS, Games & Documents and the other one purely as a download drive. Files get downloaded onto the Hynix and then moved over to the media server. Should I convert them to Raid 0? that way I get the combined storage and a possible performance increase. I have nothing locally that can not be lost, just games and OS. I am aware of the risks with raid 0 but not the extent... So my question is Does Raid 0 wear out disks FASTER than using them as a single drive? Thanks,

Oh wow... so basically some people saying 1060 will be okay and some saying 1080. But the news of the new vive MIGHT be interesting but like I said i don't have the room for anything but a controller and a headset. The cameras won't help I just don't have the room hence the idea of getting the rift instead of the vive. But I think more people are saying 1080 over the people saying 1060. Except the one dude saying the v.... cause yes I have a 1060 but CLEAELY 3k for a graphics card is in my budget lol

Hey All, I'm interested in getting the rift, the only VR, I've experienced is the Samsung gear vr (on the s6).... everything I've seen from luke leads me to believe it is not even in the same league as the pc versions. I dont have the room for the vive or I would have gotten that. I currently have a 7700k and a 1060. I'm getting the rift at the end of January... do I need to upgrade my graphics card too? I am well aware that the 1080ti and the 1080 would perform considerably better.... but would the 1060 6gb do the job? Thanks

Hello all, I am very new to this so forgive my ignorance, I have two dictionaries in Vb.net, and I need to cross reference them and come up with a total sum. For example. User1, £5.00 User2, £10.00 User3, £2.50 User4, £7.60 User5, £11.00 User1, Dept1 User2, Dept2 User3, Dept1 User4, Dept3 User5, Dept2 The end result I am looking for is... Dept1, £7.50 Dept2, £21.00 Dept3, £7.60 I am pulling the information from two different databases, Active Directory for "user and dept" and a SQL database for "user and cost." I have tried arrays and dictionaries but I've never used either so am probably doing it wrong. What would be the easiest way to cross reference two dictionaries when I do not know before the program runs how many "users" it is going to pull but the first dictionary is about 15,000 results and the second is about 5,000. Thanks

Okay so I need to downgrade my custom loop. Basically I am upgrading my computer from an fx 8320(or some 8 core amd cpu) to the 7700k. Now I've already messed up and got a non overclockable board :/... but yeah so the 7700k will be on stock and not over clocked. The 240mm rad I have won't fit in the case... unless I mod the case which I don't want to do. Ram clearance in the corsair 400c issue. I have an old 120mm rad lying around will that be sufficient cooling? I'm not going to be over clocking it so I'm hoping so. What do you think? Thanks

Oh thank god. I thought that would be the case but glad.you confirmed it.

Hellooooo everyone So you I didn't do my research and I made a mistake. Ive previously only had AMD systems but I've just ordered my first Intel system. The parts will arrive tomorrow I got the 7700k.... and the Asus H270f. Just noticed now that the h270f is a non overclockable board. So Im not goingredients to get the most out of my K skew. Problem is budget. I can't afford the extra £90 for the Z board and yes I'm vien because the bord looks amazing. So the question... will the 7700k still work in the board with the 4.2ghz it's clocked at. Or is the K just not compatible with the board? I could return the k and buy the non k but I would like to keep the cpu as I can reuse it when I upgrade again in a few years. Thanks
