    Personally I went with the red pro because you get 5 year warranty.  Its a good drive I just installed it in my sistem and it is very quiet

    A small tip if buy it from newegg and you pay with PayPal you might qualify for PayPal credit and PayPal will give you 50 dollars for filling out the application.
    I bought a 14 gig drive for 195 dollars. ( wont ever use it again but its 50 dollars)

    What is your budget?

    I would go with the WD red pro do to its price

     
    Bellow I will post some quotes from other members and there opinions they gave me. Hope it helps

    It matters, and more is better. However that being said, it's unfortunately one of those things you can't do much about most of the time. The cache size is generally tied to the size of the drive. There are smaller drives where you might find performance drives have 128 MB, and cheaper drives have 64 MB, something like that, but that's generally it. You'll have 256 MB of cache on many drives from 4 - 12 TB, then 512 on 14 and up.
     
    So don't worry about it too much, that's not a variable you can control much. The drives will get slightly faster as they get larger generally too, but not by a huge amount.

    Open up the drive and physically destroy each NAND chip.

    You could look at a Motorola, they make pretty good budget phones, depending on what kind of games you're playing, the $150 Motorola G power 2021 should be more than sufficient, 4 gigs of RAM, one of the newer Snapdragon processors, 60 hertz refresh

    A server is really not needed. For years I used Windows built in backup tool and a usb drive that I would plug in on Friday night and unplug on Saturday morning. It was really simple but effective.

    So far I can say that the side scroll wheel is not as helpful as I thought it would be. Mostly because a lot of programs like photoshop have a modifier hoot key that turns the regular scroll wheel to left right scroll.. Honestly I didnt even know I was using this function in all the programs till I got this mouse XD

    Only thing i can add is there is a reason Logitech is the most named brand for mice. They are by far the best.  (own opinion)
    And combined with their excellent (at least in the past) customer service its hard to fail with that brand.

    They do have some shit mice out there btw. Stay away from the cheapo office type mice, they are meh.
     

    But i swear by my over a decade old Performance MX (the MX Master grandaddy i believe) put a new Eneloop in there and it works better then most new mice still.
    Hard to beat that kind of performance longevity.

    These combo's did make sure i've not tried to many other quality brand game mice tho. So take my opinion with a large grain of salt.

    max668 reacted to iKingRPG in Help, Motion Detector System / security system   
    Been waiting ages for someone to ask something like this... I would highly recommenced using Home Assistant, which connects almost any device on your network. It is a free and open source software that can be installed on an old computer, or usually a Raspberry Pi computer which is like $40. Anyway if you know what IFTTT is, this is that but on steroids and it works offline. So one you have that setup you create an automation for when a motion dectector is triggered, it can do anything such as play a custom sound on a speaker or send notifications, whatever you want. You could make it blast music on the TV and turn on smart lights if you wanted it to. Anyway I would recommenced either getting a motion sensor from Amazon, or using a security camera with motion sensors such as Blink if you already have one. Here is one: https://amzn.to/2L96A7u it says you need a hue hub for this sensor, but you don't with Home Assistant. For a speaker you should be able to use a Google Home Mini, Echo dot, or cast able speakers of any kind. Some TVs might work, too (chromecast will). While you are here you could also do things like it send you a message via something like Google Hangouts that motion was detected. I GTG now, but feel free to ask me anything or go to their forum, see ya!
     
    Edit: Forgot to mention it can play any custom mp3 file or YouTube video. I recommenced buying a Raspberry Pi 3 (4 doesnt work yet) and installing hass.io for it. It is simple and can be controlled in a browser. Bye.

    If you have 2 then you already have dual channel RAM. Don't need to upgrade. x2 8GB RAM is also possible if you want to do that (any RAM stick with 2400MHz CL17 spec will do)

    I wouldnt want to go bigger then 27 inch to be hones. I had a 27 inch mac and that was a bit overkill. So anywhere between 24 to 27 inches.

      When it comes to the price range I can spend about 500 dollars. However I wouldnt want to spend that much unless it has everything I am looking for. Such as : Amazing colors and fast refresh rate. Also is g-sync worth it ?

    But I remind you that I am a noob when it comes to this so please point me in the right direction

    I was looking on benq monitors. I am planing on buying 2 monitors however not at once, and I do more gaming at the moment so I waned to get a gaming monitor that is good for both product developing such as image editing and gaming. Im sure there's something out there infarct I remember watching a video where linus was talking about such monitor however I dont remember what it was.
