Yeah looking at it going that way might be a bad idea but i do want to keep it budget. Would it be smart to go ryzen? I was thinking it would be nice to have ECC memory for stability and those CPU's support it. Would a ryzen 3 cpu be enough? I doubt it so i might go ryzen 5 or 7 but i have found some trustworthy but cheap options. And yeah i think hardware raid is not gonna be a good option regardless

Yes its gonna be a high bandwith editting server that is gonna be used to connect to locally and edit directly off of it. (so basically just very fast storage server) The type of Braw that they are gonna be working requires at most 1Gbit read speeds (expecting at least 4 simultaneous editors) so the server is gonna have a 10Gbit uplink to a switch (might be upgraded later) so network speed should not be too much of a bottleneck but the uploading of footage will be directly done via USB 3.2 with mabye multiple uploads at the same time so thats why i mainly found the need for the NVMe SSD cache.

Hey i am working for a friend on an editting server. He is a semi professional movie maker and wants to get a server that he can use on site to edit 4k Braw files. I made a system with an old CPU and RAM to save budget (2x Intel Xeon E7-4890 with 256GB of ram) and with 4 samsung 8TB Sata SSD's. I also plan to have 1TB in raid0 on NVME drives. The server is gonna be portable (inside a flightcase) so we decided to go full ssd. We are also gonna need the bandwith they offer. (We went for high capacity drives and less of them to give us a big room for upgrades). Would it be doable to run the SATA SSD's on software raid? or would it be more practical to run hardware raid? And would it be possible to do multithreaded ingest to the NVMe SSD's and then back it up to the SATA SSD's? If so what software should be used for that. (The server will probably be running truenas or a linux based alternative)

that is the case for desktops but sadly not for laptops

Thanks then i will look into what ill buy. Does anyone here have any advice on how i could make it upload and then delete it after upload in a linux enviroment? Is there mabye a cloud service that has support for stuff like this?

his upload speed is 50mbit/s (the highest speed provider (which has a monopoly on it) in our country does not feel like providing more than 50mbit/s upload

yeah its just the idea of getting a 'server' which just takes the files you upload to it and then starts uploading to the cloud so he can shut off his pc and sleep without fan noise

Hey guys. A friend of mine recently contacted me about wanting to store their raw footage in a cloud server so he can easily share it with people. I thought it might be a good idea to get a upload server with an ssd where he can upload his footage (locally) and the server will then start uploading it to the cloud (this because his upload speeds are not very fast). Do you guys have any takes on this? Should i advise to get your own server? And what do you advise for a cheap upload server that can handle sata6gb or m.2 ssds? I thougt about a raspberry but then it would have to go via usb which i dont think is a great idea. I would love to hear what you guys think EDIT: I am aware that this will not make the upload faster i just want to offload the uploading to a raspberry EDIT: Does anyone know any good way to make a temp storage server to upload the files for instance to onedrive and after upload the files get removed from the local server?

that looks nice, i really want to show off the gpu and they are kind of leniant, since our school is also kind of all traits i might go the route of getting it rack mounted and building something simple custom (they might accept it if it is not a lot of work) to mount the GPU externally to the rack (with PCI-e risers). Since we already need a rack for a switch and router it might be more compact. If there is no way for me to show off the internals or at least the GPU i am going to have to live with it and just get a rackmount case that fits the GPU. I will probably be looking into it further tomorrow since then i will be at school again. I might post another comment on what i am going to do with it here tomorrow for anyone who cares

yeah shipping is 100$ but its for school and school is paying so as long as they are okay with the price it is not really a problem. It looks like a great case but im worried about the fact that the profile is very open. The computers will not be under 24/7 supervision and while we dont have to be able to lock it i think if it is open like that they might go poking inside which is not that great for a gaming pc. I dont want to sound picky but it just has to be basically perfect because if it isnt then school will start complaining...

Hey, I am currently working on a project to wallmount 2 dekstops for school. Since they will be strong systems for VR they will be running RTX 2070's or higher. I was just curious if there are anny preofrmance decreases with using an external GPU enclosure using thunderbolt 3? Mabye i can get around this problem using PCI-e risers?

this looks great! my only problem with it is that it only has 2 expansion slots and since we need at least 3 expansion slots it would not work (we have a pci-e card for thunderbolt 3)

Hey guys i am an IT student from the Netherlands and i am currently working on a project of making a permanent install of 2 gaming like systems for VR. Since the pc's will be inside the vr space i am looking for a good way to mount 2 computers to the wall in a way that i will be able to show off the internals but it also has to look sleek (bascially cables hidden completely) and it cannot be custom built since they do not want that for reliability reasons. I myself am having a hard time finding a good case for this purpose. Does anyone have any experince with this or any advice? A few details about the computers: They are both exactly the same and are currently running a GTX 980 Video card (these will be upgraded to possibly a 2070 or higher), an atx? motherboard and a 2tb HDD with an NVMe SSD. (i do ont have the exact specs right now i will be updating this tomorrow at around 11:00 AM (UTC+1)) for the most part these are basic computers and they will only be used to run the standard setup which is a HTC vive (original), an 85' (4k?) display and another 1440p display EDIT: I have looked into getting a rackmount case but i was unable to find any that at least give me the possibility to show off the GPU. I could just accept that it will not be seen but i would like to get a case where it can be seen. If anyone knows any rackmount cases that can do this that would be perfect
