No, however, in TrueNAS, you can create additional VDevs, however those VDevs will work indipendantly when it comes to redundancy. So for example, if we have 15 drives. We can have those drives in 3x5 drive VDev Raid Z1s (Raid 5), meaning 1 drive failure PER group. But if 2 drives were to die in a single Raid Z1, that would lose data. It's not a good solution, but is basically the only solution if you want to upgrade later without doing a migration to another set of drives as a middle man. The VDevs will look to the end user as a single drive which is mountable, but to ZFS it will be 3 seperate raids added together.

I think the best option for you would be to run a hypervisor like Proxmox or Unraid, then pass through devices for specific things. So for example, passing the drives to a Truenas scale VM, then the GPUs to say a Windows VM to run blender, connecting it back to the Truenas scale VM for larger storage access, via Samba. 2 drives can only be put into a raid 0 or 1, there is no other possible configurations you can have with too few drives. In terms of encryption, if you were to use the Truenas Scale VM, it can create encryption keys for those drives, but it would also mean that moving the drives at any point would be incredibly difficult, possibly using a motherboard bios encryption could work, but that's up to you. Yes, if the Truenas VM has a dedicated IP, you can use it via samba to create a recovery drive.

Other than a couple old Alienware laptops, I don't think this is possible. The only option I could suggest is getting yourself an Elgato capture card with super low latency. Then playing through the playback window.

Completely reseated the GPU, as mentioned in the original post, the GPU also works just fine after pressing the reset button. Kinda wished I had a spare GPU or omboard graphics at the moment to test with those.

Really puzzled by my own PC. For context, I work in IT, and all the basic troubleshooting has been done, disconnected all non-essential usb devices, going down to the required hardware, single ssd, cpu, ect.Trying to boot. Sometimes my motherboard will show a light for the GPU on the troubleshooting LEDs, and the screen will show a white underscore in the top right when booting. However, when I press reset, this resolves the issue. Now, after some research, it was said this could be a driver issue. I have DDU'd and installed the Studio driver, as that is usually more stable. I have also disabled Fast boot to make sure it loads the driver from storage on boot. However the issue persists. It isn't every time I boot, but is every so often, I'm not sure what causes it, kinda wish this was like Linux, so I could just grep all the logs during the boot sequence. I know the RAM I use which is Corsair Vengence LPX does have some issues with XMP with Ryzen (PC specs will be below), so I disabled XMP and lowered the clockspeed to 3000Mhz, just to be on the safe side. I have a feeling this will be a motherboard issue or CPU. I have also done a full reinstall of Windows as well (I have servers and all my required data is backed up to those so it's fine, there wasnt anything important.) I have checked and my 2080 Super has the latest firmware, and I don't believe it is the issue as it works fine after a reset. Motherboard BIOS has been updated as well, CPU, GPU and SSD have been reseated or moved to another slot, in the case of the SSD. Any help would be greatly appreciated. PC Specs MSI B550A Pro Ryzen 7 3700x 16GB x 2 Corsair Vengence 3200Mhz DDR4 (Running at 3000Mhz) PNY CS3030 NVME SSD 1TB (Windows Install) Kingston A400 SATA SSD 1TB WD Green SATA HDD 2TB MSI RTX 2080 Super Ventus XS OC

As I said, it's an enterprise drive, these are expected to be in a data centre, which, from my own experience, is a LOT louder lol. My only suggestion would be sound proofing foam, but realistically that wont do much.

Excel and Google Sheets both have this already, you just need to share the file with another user's Microsoft account, and then they will be able to work on the file same as you, or just read it if you want to

Thats normal, thats the sound of the read head moving, you have a 16 TB drive, thats a lot of platters it has to scrub through. Enterprise usually dont care about noise as this will be in a data centre.

That's fine. While you can set the bottom front fan to adjust for the GPU, realistically, anything that GPU intensive, is likely to be somewhat CPU intensive and will speed up anyway. You're better off adjusting the fan curve of the direct fans on the GPU seperately using something like MSI Afterburner, it will be more beneficial

Considering you have said you have tried using the onboard graphics and those work, it could be a CPU or Motherboard issue. check the motherboard CPU socket for any bent pins and reseat the CPU. If everything physically looks ok, the either your CPU is DOA or Motherboard, but without spares, there is no way to check. You can also try clearing CMOS by taking the battery out and reseating it, but I doubt that will help much

While I cannot suggest anything for CBrush, Maya, ect. I can however point you in the right direction for Blender. Puget Systems has an amazing Hardware recommendation page for Blender to get the most out of a PC config. https://www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/3d-design-workstations/blender/hardware-recommendations/ TLDR: What config you need is highly dependant on the workloads you do within the software.

I am planning on making a thin client PC, but I need a Pico Power supply as I'm planning on putting this into a 1U server rack custom chassis. Does anyone in the UK know a reliable place for me to buy one? It's a celeron CPU so barely consumes more than 30W all in with a drive. Thanks

A single router is always going to have some range issues, regardless of which one you get, just from the simple nature of 5ghz signalling, which is why Mesh networks exist for consistant signal. Just remember that for the mesh to work effectively you want there to be a decent overlap of signals, so your devices don't lose connectivity between the access points

Honestly, you might as well go for a mesh network if you want wide range. Something like https://www.amazon.com/Mesh-Wifi-6-Router-System/dp/B085Z35GY6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=315JAEGU781Q5&keywords=tp+link+deco&qid=1680399827&sprefix=tp+link+dec%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-1 This uses WIFI 6 which has a max theoretical connection speed of 1.2gigabit over WIFI Then use a network switch for anything that needs ethernet, you can pick up a 5 port one for like $15. To give you perspective on how easy TP Routers are to setup, my Grandad who struggles with his emails was able to set one up without me knowing.

You can try FakeFlashTest.

I will also make the point to save your money on the cooler, it's an i3, it won't pump out much in the way of heat, and see if you can use that $33 to get a secondary hard drive or something for more storage. Oh and also, your case is huge and way more than you need, I suggest getting a cheaper one and one that is MATX. Full Towers are MASSIVE

Since you're buying an i3, something like a B760 (I say 760 instead of 660 as it will give you some more features and probably longer compatibility) will be fine. As it cannot be overclocked. Motherboards at that low end really don't matter much outside of getting the IO you need, make sure it has enough USB ports, SATA ports, VRM cooling, and WIFI if you need it. Something like the Asus PRIME B760M-K D4 should do you just fine if you dont need wifi or MSI PRO B760M-A WIFI DDR4 if you do. In terms of power supply you have an i3, so you would only need the first 8 pin power anyway, but if you do want to future proof a little, something like the Corsair RM750e 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply should last you a significant amount of time.

I hate to be that guy, but you're probably going to struggle to find one. T9 phones generally run on very simple OSs and even ones with some Android functionality, like the Nokia 8000, actually run something called Kai OS, which only allows a couple apps to work. You might be able to side load Spotify onto that Nokia, but whether it will work, I have no idea. T9 Phones are usually marketed to older people, therefore they prioritise simplicity and lock the phones down as much as possible to limit possible issues. GL with your search tho.

I got confirmation on Twitter that LL sizes are in the works and will be released in the future, I do appreciate the inclusion that LTT is putting forward.

Re-read the PC Price, $1300, actually a good price. Ignore what I originally said if you saw that.

Natively no, I have never seen that. But with a couple adapters, I don't see why it couldn't. A usb to SATA adapter with power input from a barrel jack, mixed with a usb 2.0 header to port adapter and Molex/SATA power to 12v barrel jack, could work. It's incredibly janky and is only in theory could work, but there you go

Hi, so I posted this on Twitter, but I also wanted to ask here as I don't know which might get a response. I am a large guy, (6ft 3, heavy set) and I just applied for a 5xl testing shirt. I appreciate greatly the inclusion of larger people with merch as this is not a common thing. So off the bat, thank you to the Merch team. My question is, will LL (Large Long) sizes ever be supported? I have friends who are also fans of the channel who are even taller than I am, and we are talking almost 7ft here who, like myself have to buy larger clothes which end up being baggy to wear because we need the clothing length. I myself can happily wear a 3LL sized shirt because while I am large, I can fit in a 3xl tshirt, my problem is the length is just no where near what I would need.

Ive noticed a lot of software dont like Ryzen 3000 chips, not sure why

The higher sctore of 1173 is around where it should be, the single core performance compared to a gen 1 ryzen is about a 29% increase, this is 22%, its still a bit low, but that might just be the silicon lottery

Some programs arnt great with ryzen, my suggestion would be to use Cinebench and see what single threaded performance that gives you
