Hello! 

I've been searching all over for a calendar app (except Outlook for Android) that also displays my personal office 365/outlook.com calendar... 

Does anyone have any suggestions?? 

Any app that I install only shows my work exchange account and Google stuff... 

Thanks in advance!

Most 3200MHz RAM is CL16 that I have seen.

exactly! Thats why I overlooked it... it was like 5 euros cheaper and I though "whatever"...

I wouldn't worry about it. Any difference in real world tests will be really tiny and not worth worrying over.

Thanks, that's what I figured too!

Hello!
I ordered a lot of parts for a new gaming pc for my brother.

Somehow I overlooked it and the RAM that I ordered has a CAS latency of 18 (so CL 18).

Will this be a problem for his setup?

Will CL18 - 3200 RAM be a bottleneck in Gaming Performance?

I have no idea, thank you guys in advance! 

RAM: HyperX FURY Black 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 CL18 DIMM RAM

CPU: I-5 9600K

GPU: RTX 2070

MB: MSI Z390-A Pro

Boot SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB

NVM I destroyed the flash drive (to remove the data) and it's going back to amazon 

Hello!

I inserted my flash drive (SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB USB3.1) but it's volumes are gone and the LED is a solid blue color...

I can find the device in the device manager and according to the device status it's working fine...

The device can't be found in diskpart or Disk Management (DM actually won't load at all if the flash drive is plugged in for ~ 5minutes)

Is the drive dead or can I fix it somehow?

Thanks in advance!

Following a screenshot of the volumes tab in the device properties:

Thank's for your answer, I got the Asus ROG Strix Fusion 700.

So a Bluetooth headset and I can switch between PC and my phone or laptop.

Hello!

I would like to walk around my flat with headphones on and listen to music.

Currently I have wireless headphones, but they don't reach very far (dongle on PC)

My PC is on one side of the flat and my living room on the other...

Sometimes, if I turn my head correctly, they do work... 

I have excellent WiFi coverage.

Are there some kind of WiFi connected headphones (so via TCP/IP or whatever ^^ and not a dongle)??

Or anything similar, so I can listen to music anywhere in my flat from my PC (or home server)??

Thanks in advance!!

I am using a USB 3 hub for a long time now and never noticed any input lag.

Hello!

So currently I got the "SanDisk Extreme 64 GB USB (SDCZ80-064G-FFP)".

I carry it around on my keys for 3 years now and it works fine, recently it had some "hiccups" so I might need to replace it.

I don't know what's different about it BUT:

I got a lot of folders on it with some big and a lot of small files. (programs I need for work and so on)

When I need to format it, I do a backup and after I am done doing what I was doing, I copy all my precious files back onto it.

This takes under 1 Minute!

I tested some new drives lately which boast "WOW much times more speed - 300 MB/s or even more!", but it takes like 10 minutes to copy my files....

I know that these speeds can be achieved when you have to copy one large file, but that wouldn't be my use-case.

Is there any USB flash drive (64GB or more) that is fast in transferring small files?

A portable SSD should work fine, but they are mostly too big, since I would carry it on my keys in my pocket.

I have just installed 1u synology rs818+ with 4x 10TB and so far installation and implementation with active directory was seamless.

I can recommend it.

 

I am thinking of getting the RS818+ too.

Do you use it for media streaming too?

How does it fair?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Everybody!

So, I need to help a friend get a 1U 19" Rackmount NAS.

It should be as cheap as possible, but with sufficient (maybe a bit more) performance.

In the beginning there will be 2 drives (6TB) and there should be a possibility to expand > 4 drive bays would be good

He / his family, will almost exclusively use the NAS for media streaming. (~ 5 concurrent streams maximum, I would guess).

Which NAS would you recommend?

Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone!

So my Co-worker built a house and asked me if I could help him with Networking (hardware and software).

He wants a NAS for media streaming with a maximum of 4 or 5 Clients (TV / Phone / PC, NB).

I built my own NAS, but I am not that confident to build him a custom one.

So I am searching for a reliable, good, but also good price/performance, 2 or 4 bay Rackmount NAS. 

So far I was thinking about "NETGEAR ReadyNAS RN3138-100NES".

Do you have any suggestions??

Thank you very much in advance!

Did you reinstall drivers with DDU?

Yes, I got FE cards with watercooling installed too (2 x 1080 Ti).

They run at around 2 GHz, haven't tried to go higher but should be possible since they run at ~ 50°C at full load.

I think aftermarket cards are unnecessary if you watercool them anyway (except the Asus Poseidon maybe ^^).

Your switch maybe? Or whatever you are plugged into.

What are you connecting your PC to?

Some switches have STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol) enabled, which means they make sure that there won't be any loops in your network. Once they detect, that cable has been connected, then they run necessary checks and if there are no loops, then packets will be allowed through.

I connect to a switch, which hasn't changed since I installed my NIC and it worked fine for a few weeks.

The switch is also unmanaged (Asus XG-U2008)

Yea just uninstall and reinstall again afterwards. Still needed it for Wireshark / nmap

Okay thanks, but there is still a small delay, I will reboot a few times and check ^^.

I've had a similar problem and it was caused by WinPcap or Npcap.

Thanks!

I uninstalled Npcap and now it connects quicker, but there is still a delay.

How did you fix this? Just uninstalled?

Hello!

So a few weeks ago the problem started, I think as I installed "Firefox" for a short time but I am unsure.

When I boot my PC, my Adapters show that the network cable is unplugged and after ~1 min, they show up as working normal.

The Problem occurs on the onboard LAN, as well as a 10G NIC (but same cable).

Do you have any suggestions what could cause the problem?

Thanks in advance!

You mean the Theme, Extensions, Bookmarks, Browsing History, etc.?

You can log in with your google account and sync those settings and get the "same" Chrome on every device you log into.

Maybe, but the only nvme RAID capable cpus are x299and x399, both of which should have several x16 slots

I got a bootable RAID0 on my Z370 (2xm.2 nvme) which has much less PCIe lanes ^^

How many m.2 drives are you planning to install?

I don't think they will be able to saturate a PCIeX8 link, so no it probably will not run faster.

Never ever do raid on your boot drives. If the raid fails or even one drive fails, you're screwed. 

I actually have 2 x 960 Pro 1TB in RAID 0 (what you meant) in my gamig rig. If you don't keep any important data on there why not? the performance is incredible!

Daily backups are enough security for me ^^ (on the gaming rig)

Did you read the above, they want raid 1, so any drive can fail and you can keep going.

 

 

For windows, you need hardware/firmware raid to have bootable raid. SO setup raid in the bios and your good.

 

But id personally not do this as the chance of a ssd failure is lower, and backups are they in that case. And using raid for boot often disables some features like trim. Just get a single good ssd(like a 860 evo).

Thank you!

I will probably only use one SSD now.

It would be possible btw, to create a RAID array in command prompt at the installation of windows ^^

Hello!

So I will setup my home server soon, now I ask myself how to setup the Boot "RAID1 array" for the OS (Windows Server 2016).

I have 2 SSDs with ~250GB, where I would like to install the OS onto.

My motherboard supports BIOS/"firmware?" Raid (Intel RST enterprise SATA/SSATA option ROM Utility) (Board: Asus Z11PA-U12).

Should I just setup the RAID1 in the BIOS/Firmware?

Or is there a "better" way? (I know of other ways but not if they are better ^^)

Thanks in advance!

R410 and R710 are ancient.  He also doesn't want to buy used.

The Silver 4108 isn't bad but the base clock is slow (the 6700k offers higher compute capability).  Check out the Xeon-D 2100 series chips, may or may not be up your alley.

 

*edit* the passmark score I looked at for the 4108 was referencing a dual socket setup, so I bolded my correction.

If money isn't that big of an issue, start looking at some professional servers. Maybe consider buying a PowerEdge R410 or an R710 if you're up for that. Space for a shitton of ram and storage devices. 

 

The only downside would be the noise. Especially when it boots up. You can turn the fans down, but they will still make more noise than a regular desktop. 

Thank you both for helping!

I think I will go for the Xeon Silver 4110, since the D-2100 Series isn't available in my region now and the 4110 has a bit higher clock speeds at a small price increase.

First off, what's the use case? (what will the server be handling besides Server 2016)

The Server currently will be used for NAS and some VMs which run some small tasks.

Hello!

I am running Windows Server 2016 on my home server and currently there is a i7-6700K installed (on a B150 board),

which is delidded and has liquid metal in it (  ), with only 16 GB of non ECC RAM.

I think about upgrading to:

Intel® Xeon® Silver 4108 Processor (~ € 415)

Asus Z11PA-U12 (3 mini SAS connectors would be really nice to have, or 12 SATA Ports) (~ € 365)

1 Stick of Kingston Premier DIMM 32GB, reg ECC (KSM26RD4/32HAI) for maybe future updates (~ € 370)

Money wouldn't be the issue here, but do you have  any suggestions for a other config which would make more sense?

Also those components would be easily available and I don't like to buy used stuff.

Thanks in advance!
