    jared404 reacted to dcgreen2k in is raid a thing i should do?   
    SSDs are fast enough without Raid 0, and since you only use the hard drives for files that don't need a lot of speed, putting them in Raid wouldn't be worth the trouble.

    jared404 reacted to Electronics Wizardy in UNRAID Gaming PC / Media Server / NAS   
    Id suggest just running windows on the host and having the plex server and nas run under windows. its easier to setup, will be faster as there is no vm overhead and you don't have to worry about pcie passthrough.
     
    how much storage do you ned?
     
    Id probably get a 2600 if it doesn't cost that much more, it will transcode a good amount faster.
     
     
    I don't see the point of unraid here, all that will run on windows just fine.

    jared404 reacted to bellabichon in Steam download speed very slow   
    I think you're confusing Megabits (Mb) with Megabytes (MB). A megabit is a unit of data transfer speed used in networking. It is equal to 1/8 megabytes per second. If your internet speed is 15-20 Megabits (Mb), that's equal to about 2 Megabytes (MB) per second. Perfectly normal.

    I am looking for an affordable ($100-300 USD) 8 port 10 GbE unmanaged switch from a reputable brand.
     
    I don't want 10 GbE trunk with many 1 GbE interfaces. I want true 10 GbE on all ports compatible with Cat 6a.
     
    Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks.

    As long as the switches are all connected to your router then you are fine. you don't need smart switches, unless you have the money for ubiquiti system, then by everything ubiquiti.

    This is the first I've heard of the puma issues, did some quick searching and realized how bad it is. Thank you! You likely saved me a lot of trouble. @FurNaxx If you want a list of modems not to buy here is one https://www.approvedmodems.com/do-not-buy-list.html

    Heres the deal. That number is the max that the manufacture said you can get  Internet wise. They claim you can get Internet speeds up to 343Mbps. Judging on the speed its most likely a 8x4 modem similar to my SB6141. Comcast will only provision 8x4 modems to 200Mbps. What you need to pay attention to with cable modems is the number of downstream and upstream channels. The Download speed on the box is BULL SHIT at best. Because its the cable company that will say what speeds the modem can do. In this case you can get it provisioned to 200Mbps. PERIOD. Dont fight Comcast on this, because you wont win.
     
    If you need faster speeds then look at 16 channel modems, stay away from any modem that has an Intel Puma 6 chip like the SB6190 as they are defective. The more downstream channels, the faster speeds you can get. Docsis 3.0 can do up to 600 Mbps on the Comcast Network. Anything over that will be Docsis 3.1 and that may or may not be available in your area.

    Everyone of my Comcast customers that have bought their own modem, Comcast will not activate the telephony service on it, they make you use theirs, however you can still uses your own modem and they will disable everything except telephpny on theirs and you will just use theirs for phone, and yours for everything else.  They also wont charge you a fee for using their modem despite your still using it for telephony.  So just buy a basic docics 3 modem, use theirs for phone.

    jared404 reacted to Mira Yurizaki in Modem bottleneck question   
    Bandwidth is total bandwidth. You only have 343 Mbps to play with. If one computer takes all of it, then there's none left for other computers. If a computer only needs 20Mbps, 323Mbps is left to spread around.
