    Mr.Humble reacted to brwainer in Alternative to RAID for Home Media Server   
    Storage Spaces Parity with one disk tolerance is similar to RAID5, with two disk tolerance is similar to RAID6, and it also offers three disk tolerance.
     
    as @mrbilky succinctly stated, take a look at UnRAID.

    Mr.Humble reacted to Radium_Angel in Drive X shows unallocated after I install windows on Drive Y (But I had files on Drive X)   
    That's a classic sign the drive is, indeed, gone bad.
    If you don't need the data stored on it, then save yourself some time and remove the drive, and install a new one (if you need/want it)

    https://pcpartpicker.com/products/cpu-cooler/?compatible_with=fGvRsY#m=99&c=33 brings up a list of AM4 compatible Noctua coolers that *should* fit in your case. 
     
    The Noctua NH-U9S is a solid bet, the Noctua NH-L12/NF-A14 may also work for you depending on layout

    Maybe 2 years ago, but this year SSD prices dropped a lot. And if you haven't used a computer with an SSD before, you are going to love one as the difference is night and day.

    Check out this decent performance 500GB SSD's price:
     
    https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ft8j4D/crucial-mx500-500gb-25-solid-state-drive-ct500mx500ssd1
     
    It's $65. SSDs used to cost upwards of 10 times more than hard drives for the space they gave, but that's a thing of the past now. It is very much recommended.
     
    As a PSU enthusiast, I sugges you take a look at which PSU you buy. There's a world of difference between the cheapest, lowest end and a good power supply, and that can be the difference between your computer flat out dying because of a lightning strike or blackout, or living through such an event.
     
    Usually the way we do new builds here on LTT is we ask you a couple different things: your budget, what you'll use the computer for, and whether you already have a monitor / mouse / keyboard. Then you'll get a couple suggestions for builds which you can start on

    Mr.Humble reacted to dalekphalm in Moving to Canada   
    First thing I would do, is do your research.
     
    The Immigration Process for Canada is generally a long and expensive process. It can literally take years, and that's just for Permanent Residence Status, not even counting becoming a Citizen (if that's something you even care to do - certainly not required though).
     
    For a Computer Technician, with no experience, you'd be looking at Entry Level. So basically, not much more than Minimum Wage - maybe $30,000/yr CAD. In Toronto, average wages tend to be a little higher, so maybe you'll get something that pays a bit more.
     
    Costing of living in Toronto is among the very highest in Canada. Mostly this is due to cost of Rent or cost of buying property. Rent is going to be well over $1000/month for your own apartment (Unless it's a tiny shithole where you're just as likely to get mugged in your own bed as not).
     
    Getting roommates or renting a room inside a larger apartment or house will help to keep costs down.
     
    You should check real estate listings, apartment listing sites, and Kijiji (Canada's Craigslist lol - hell check Craigslist too). Most people advertise rooms for rent on Kijiji. Even apartments themselves are often listed there too.
     
    Cost of food won't be too much higher than the rest of Canada. Same with utilities and Internet.
     
    As for Internet itself, depends on what you need/want. You can get basic packages for as low as $30 or so, but you're looking at like 6 or 10 Mbps download. I pay $100 (just under) for 150/10Mbps - depending on where you choose in Toronto, a similar package would be available from Rogers or one of the TPIA resellers like TekSavvy (I use TekSavvy).
     
    Utilities, you can expect to pay around $100-200 a month for all utilities, but this is just a rough estimate. It really depends on the specific place you get.
     
    There are jobs in Toronto, yes. But competition is fierce. It's the largest city in Canada, so for every job you apply to, hundreds of others are probably also applying (Possibly even thousands).
     
    In all honesty, you'll probably start out working at Best Buy or Staples doing computer repairs. NCIX has a few locations in Toronto, so you could apply there You won't see Linus though - he hasn't worked for NCIX for years, and he only really ever dealt with their BC locations.
     
    Once you get some experience, you can expect to make at least $40,000/yr, if not more. Once you get a decent amount of experience, that number can easily jump up into the $50-60-70,000/yr range or higher, assuming you continue to grow your skillset. But those salaries are for people who have a good amount of experience, in most cases.
