    Did I make the right choice? (NAS + HDD)

    in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab

    Posted

    Hello everyone, I was planning on doing a full build originally but due to personal reasons that would take too long. So I have decided to go down the Synology route, I intially got the 923+ but since it didn’t support Quick sync I decided to send it back. 
     

    Unfortunately the only option from them appears to be a 423+ which has an older Intel CPU and half of the ram soldered so I can only add one more RAM module.  For my current needs this will do. It'll be mostly for a plex server and some data backup so nothing too intensive. I've also heard the software is pretty good.  
     

    The drives is why I'm making this post as it appears I might have gotten an amazing deal. I have managed to get 4x 6TB Toshiba MG08ADA600E (sold as new). These appear to be enterprise HDDs and only cost me just over £300 for all of them in total. Has anyone had any experience with these drives?

     

    I do have plex pass so I know the streaming will be fine die to hardware acceleration. 

     

    I also can't see the drives being on a compatibility list so it does make me nervous especially since the whole WD RED issue. 

    Lenovo Yoga 530 not booting into Windows

    Hi.

     

    I have been trying to help the other half with their Laptop with no luck. So the laptop had power going to it as the charger had the power light but wouldn't turn on. We tried holding the power button down with no luck. So we then tried the Novo button and now it boots to a screen that says "Nova button menu recovery" It is hard to see as it goes off about a second after. If I press enter then it shows the Lenovo splash screen but then turns off. During the Nova recovery menu it beeps twice. It only stays on with something in the port

     

    Any help with this please.

    Theres a company that makes more typing based keyboards but are amazing quality, Leopold. I can't really think of anything off of the top of my head for gaming that isn't corsair, logitech, or razer.

    Corsair does seem to be more reliable then Razer from what I've read. 

     

    A USB pass through would be a huge plus That's why the platinum seems good. 

     

    With Leopold I would have to get it imported and the keys won't be the UK standard I believe. 

     

    Otherwise that would seem ideal.

    Corsair makes good stuff so they're a good choice. I'm a person that would build their own keyboard but a lot of people don't want to take the time to do that. Corsair is probably your best choice unless you're considering Logitech.

    I've been eyeing Corsair for a while. 

     

    I'm not sure on which model though. The K95 platinum I can get for £150 which is well within my budget. 

     

    I just want to know what else there is

    First, try to send it to Razer for a replacement. Even if it's out of warranty, they may still give you a discount.

     

    It's about 3 year old and I just don't trust the brand anymore. 

     

    I've only tried their green keys which are equivalent to cherry browns I think. 

     

    I might get the k95 platinum 

    RMAing my Razer Keyboard. Replaced or refund

    In my experience, Razer keyboards are ok, but the newer 2015 models with Razer switches are too mushy and the keycaps move around too much, so I'd recommend getting a refund. The only exception is the Chroma, because Corsair's RGB offerings just don't look as good, but perform better.

    Upgrading my monitor {Resolved}

    If you've got the GPU to get the frames, then Gsync isn't needed. I wanted Gsync. I only have a single 980 Ti running 3440x1440. My choice was to spend $300 more for Gsync and be great with one Ti, or get the non-gsync and spend another $600 later on SLI. I didn't think about that at the time of buying my monitor. I should've went with the Gsync. Would've been cheaper in the long run.

    My case wouldn't allow me to go SLI so 1440P G Sync then ?
