So I’ve recently had to do a fresh install of Windows 10. I was able to get my raid 0 array back up and running but my two internal SSD’s no longer show up under bios or disk management (as well as diskpart.) But when I use an external SSD caddy and plug the drive in externally it shows up on both aforementioned spots. I’ve swapped the Sata cables and swapped the Sata ports on the mobo as well to no avail. Any assistance would be appreciated Here are my specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Nick_San/saved/GYvb8d

I remember seeing a product years ago that was basically a hard drive enclosure that allowed you to have a local NAS system that was separate from the rest of the pc. And it could be installed on the front rack where you would install an optical drive. I would very much appreciate some help on this quest for the NAS sincerely, TheNexus96

So Ladies and gentleman I have a curious predicament with one of my old monitor's. I had it shipped over from my old place on the west coast and now the monitor will not register a signal (Which I wasn't too surprised that it didn't survive the trip) So I'm not worried about the monitor since it was a cheap monitor for free but my question now is what are some good ways to re-purpose my old monitor for a new purpose in life The monitor in question is a Dell UZ2315H

I want to thank you all for your responses. I believe I'm not articulating this well (Or the technology is not there yet and I'm over-complecating the thought process.) So I'm going to try this a again with a longer post that may ramble so please bear with me. So what my thought process is for a laptop to have a standard processor (say 2.6GHz) with integrated graphics and 8GB of internal RAM. So say your working from home to get some projects done and the next day when you go to work you drop the laptop into a dock that would have a faster processor and GPU. I imagine the laptop and dock would have to have a piece of software to let the dock's processor/GPU to take over the workload but be able to use the same internal drive for the files... Or maybe just a dock that just allows the for the hard drive to be used rather than the onboard processor and GPU.

That’s a good question... I believe what I was drawing from was what a lot of my co-workers have is a docking station for their work laptops for a multi-monitor setup. But the line of thinking is something similar that works with a desktop (weather it’s plugged in or not). Like the laptop is the main brain and the desktop is the powerhouse mech body you hook the brain up to.

So I’ve been looking around for a way to set up a laptop as my main mobile workstation for when I’m at Work, and then when I get home I just plug in my laptop to a desktop tower To take advantage of the desktops power and performance for gaming and workflow. I know the comment after this might be. “You don’t just have a gaming pc.” But I’m intrigued to see if it’s possible due to me not wanted to totally get rid of my laptop since it’s so handy for on-the-go performance. Thanks to you all for answering and I will be intrigued to see what comes of this thread.
