    Hey, so a while ago, I bought a Chromecast as well as a Chromecast Audio - and everything works great. However I cant help but think that it is a missed opportunity to not have those two connect, to actually be able to watch YouTube Videos with good sound. So I came to think there might be a way to do this, I wasn't able to find anything by googleing - maybe someone here knows some git repo or sth. Or is this something that is actually a feature (that i'm to stupid to find :D) My TV is not in close proximity with my soundsystem and also the soundsystem is kinda portable - so I don't want to always plugin 1000 cables Maybe someone here has an idea Have a good day

    I just downloaded the media creation tool, I don't know how I would get another build than the one, that it automatically downloads. It was the only download I found directly from MS. It might be important to know that I need the Education Version of Windows 10, because I have a key for that available and lost my pro key. I don't think that should be an Issue, though as I also tried installing Pro from the same USB - also didn't work. Also I cannot download the education ISO anymore (EDIT: from my uni) , since my University's portal does not work right now.

    yes, that works - however the problem does not go away after that

    Hello everyone, I have recently upgraded my old system to a Ryzen 2600 and everything that goes with it - and also I bought a Samsung 970 EVO Plus MVMe M.2 SSD. The problem that I am facing now though is that I cannot get Windows 10 to install on that Drive, the installer just exits right after I select the partition - It sais something like "Cannot create or retrive partition on device". As for the Mainboard, I bought the ASRock B450 Gaming K4. I have of course searched for simmilar problems and people seem to have all sorts of different solutions, however Secure Boot is not set in my BIOS and I didn't find any other popentially bad setting that I recognized. I got the ISO from the Windows Media Creation tool, and tried to burn the ISO with several different, known good programs, that should have produced a working USB, that I did use to install Windows on another Machine, using a SATA SSD though. EDIT: The SSD is recognized by my old Windows Installation as well as the BIOS and a Linux bootstick. I have never seen such an error in the windows installer and I am kindof clueless on what to try next. If anyone has an idea on what could work, I would of course really appreciate any suggestions Have a good day, thanks in advance, Jo

    Alright, thank you everyone! We decided to go with a DAS instad of a NAS.

    Alright, your judgement sounds sensible. I will look further but thank you very much!

    Alright. I will take a look on faster networking

    The cheapest 10 gig thunderbold 2 adapter i found costs around 400 USD, thats way too much. If 10 gig is required this will not work. I do not see where I can get 2.4 TB of very fast storage for basicly 50€ No normal HDD will limit my network even with 1 Gib. Where can I find out what kind of CPU I need?

    I think it's not really that much. RED Website tells me 91 Mb/s for his camera on 60 FPS Also I dont know if it's possible to connect a network card capable of those speeds to a mac pro. (It does only have Thunderbold 2)

    He tells me his bitrate currently is 54 MB/s to 70 MB/s (EDIT he does not need 8K) Unfortunately the Mac Pro doesn't have 10 Gib Ethernet. But thanks for brining my attention to the 2 Gib problem. For the 15k drives I basically pay 50€ I dont think I can get SSD's for that price. But of course I would prefer those So you think the chips would not suffice? Would the slightly higher clocked 2.3 GHZ xeon be better? (also 6 cores, and 2 x)

    Hello everyone! I have some Questions about a project I am currently planning. Maybe you can help me, that would be super awesome A friend of mine is a indie film maker. He is currently editing on a Mac Pro (trashcan) and copying his files from external HDD's to his internal SSD or HDD to edit. He sometimes filmes on a 4K RED and so his internal SSD really doesnt do much for him. I suggested a RAID 5 Server with FreeNAS, connected via 2x 1Gib Ethernet to his Mac so he can edit right off that. He was open to the idea so i started looking for used hardware to realize this. I found a Supermicro X9DRi-F, it has: 2x 6C Xeon E5-2620 2.0GHz 64 GB ECC DDR3 RAM 10 HDD Slots (8 hotswap, 2 internal) 2x500W PSU (one could later install GPU(s) to make it into a render machine 2x Gib Ethernet A SLI MegaRAID Card with 8x SAS/SATA (SAS is important for my plan) The seller also sells 6 15K 450GB SAS Drives. He would sell the whole packet to me for 550€ I understand that I would have to flash the RAID Card in order to use it as just a SAS controller and let FreeNAS do a software RAID. The biggest Problem in my opinion is the capacity of the drives. A RAID 5 with 6 Drives would yield in 2.4 TB of Storage (be it very, very fast) I now have two Questions: Is 2 x 1 GiB Ethernet generally enough to edit Video (4k RED, if it had to be proxied to 1080p that would not make the workflow worse but would it work on 4k)? Is FreeNAS a good solution for this or would I have to do some other setup? Can FreeNAS handle two different types of drives? Could I put "normal" SATA drives into the System to add more Storage and how would that affect performance? Thank you very much for taking your time!
  12. ItsJo
    Yeah, that is probably a very good idea Thanks again
  13. ItsJo
    Whoaa. That worked and was way easier that all of the other stuff I was trying to do. Thank you very, very much! So whatever the problem was it's now fixed thanks! Okay, so after fixing my second drive I now know what fixed it. I used Hardwipe (something very simmilar to roadkil) and aborted the operation. That seems to have fixed the problem! roadkil somehow didn't detect my device.
  14. ItsJo
    Thanks! I will try that now and report back!

    Yes I did use the dive to install linux - after that i tried formatting it several times. I think currently it has no format since Windows promts me to format it everytime i plug it in
  16. ItsJo
    I have tried to do that, unfortunatlly the security tab (in german 'Sicherheit') is missing. one the left you see the USB device, on the right one of my SSD's
  17. ItsJo
    Yes I can and this is what shows. Yes it's mine and it got destroyed when i flashed an linux install image onto it (same thing happened to 2 other drives, too bad i didn't notice in time now i have 0 wirking drives)

    Hey everyone, soo i really need your help here. I am at a loss here since I have no Idea what to try anymore. But first things first: some time ago i installed linux on my laptop using etcher.io to flash the image onto my usb drive. What i didn't realize at the time is that etcher did something to my drive. I could boot off it but windows (or my new linux system) cannot use it anymore. It does get detected but I cannot format it. (sorry, my system is in German so screenshots will be German too ) After digging deeper into the problem and using DISKPART i tried to clean the device: Note that I ran the CMD i started diskpart with as admin. I also tried several tools that promised to solve my problem but none succeed so far. The reason why I didn't try to repair it with linux is that I need that drive to reinstall linux since something went wrong and I don't have a system backup (yes i know... stupid) and well i don't have a Disk drive to boot my live DVD's. I did read of others with the same problem - even on etcher.io's forum but noone seems to have found a solution yet. (I did post on their forum but no one answered and my email also didn't get notice at all. Hopefully someone of you guys maybe knows what's up here and can help me. The Stick was kind of expensive even tough it's just 32 gigs, its dual type a and c - and brand new so it would be sad to buy a new one. If you think it's only possible to fix on linux i can certainly use a linux machine - I am relatively comfortable with unix shell but never used USB drives with it. Anyways thank you in advance!

    Thank you very much, I like what you did and will recommend this build to him

    Alright. I did'nt realize the MITX Part. I have now edited the List and also replaced the NVMe Drive with a 500gig SATA SSD. This is a decision he was not sure about. The difference here would only really come into play for his developing. I also swapped out the AIO cooler. Since there is no fan in the cpu box I had to get something separately and I thought since it serves as GPU and CPU in one it would have to be cooled kinda beefy.

    Hey guys, so I was finding myself in a situation where I had to plan a Build for a friend. Since he does'nt have a huge budget to blow and really only want's to Play League of Legends anyways (besides maybe some programming or so) decided to build around the AMD - Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor. I have the List on PcPartPicker here: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/z9tPxG I would love for your opinion on the other choices, especially the motherboard. Will I have to flash a uefi update for it to work with this new CPU? Thanks everyone for your answers and time spend and have a good day

    So you think that xenon will outperform my I7? I fell like I still dont get the xenon stuff :L

    Hey everyone, I got some questions for you guys. I need to build a workstation for myself in my office. It is going to be used mainly for normal office work but should be able to run the full Adobe CC Suite very well - mainly for graphic designing. I do not need to edit video in 4k or at all really. I have a budget of around 850 € or more if necessary. So what was important for me is to go with a powerful CPU so I could use Photoshop really well. I went with a Intel Core i7-6700K wich clocks at 4.0 Ghz - pretty bally. This is a Skypale CPU wich means it supports DDR4 Now my question is: Does it really make any sense or should I just go with another CPU and DDR3? The next question I have about the same PC is the GPU. I don't plan on gaming on this PC so I do not need a awesome GPU - Or do I? I want to have a really awesome experience so I want to be able to get a 4k monitor and possibly be able to upgrade to another one if I want to. Now I don't know if the onboard GPU can handle that - and if not what kind of GPU do I need? Thank you, Jo

    Hey, thank you all. I think the message I heard you say is that I dont need one. Thanks

    Hey everybody, I got some pretty awesome headphones from Bose. I bought them mainly for the use with my Desktop PC but of course also for my smartphone. They have awesome sound and are really light wich i LOVE! The question I got to you guys is if I sould get an internal PCIE Sound Card. The Headphones I use: BOSE site (hope i got you the english site) I'd like my Headphones to be a little louder sometimes but i really don't want to damage them as i spend a lot of money on them. Greeting from Germany and thank You very much, Jo
