Unfortunately I have to copy from the SD card each time to fight file corruption. If a file was corrupted while transferring to drive 1 and then I copied that file onto drives 2 and 3 the file would be corrupted on all three drives. But if I copy fresh from the SD card each time that risk is lessened. How does Robocopy work and where can I find it? My files are usually between 350MB and 3GB per file. And I’m shooting about 150GB at most on one card.

I’ve been having some annoyances with USB transfer speeds and bottlenecks. I’m a videographer and every time I have to offload and backup my footage it’s a pain. I always backup to 3 drives but I feel like I’m constantly running into bottlenecks. My SD cards max out at 250MB/s, my card reader is USB 3.2 gen 2x2 plugged into a correlating port, drive 1 is an internal NVME, drive 2 is an external SanDisk Extreme Pro, and drive 3 is my NAS which is connected via 1 gig Ethernet (that’s a bottleneck I’m aware of). when backing up files I will transfer from the SD card to all 3 drives simultaneously. In my mind that should mean that I’m getting around 250MB/s on drives 1 and 2, and around 100MB/s on drive 3. However, I usually get about 65 to 100MB/s on all three drives. Is there a reason the speed is so bottlenecked? And is there anything I can do to solve it?

Sadly no. Because it's going to be on the side of a camera it has to be as slim as possible and I think that one would just be a bit too bulky.

I need a 40cm cable with a 270° angled connector at one end and a straight connector at the other.

I'm looking for a business that can produce one off custom HDMI cables. I need a few super specific HDMI cables for my camera rig and it's basically impossible to find exactly what I'm looking for on Amazon.

Anything I can do about it? Fresh Windows install? Or is it time for a new laptop?

I’m hitting 100% CPU usage and about 12GB of memory. GPU is chilling at like 10%

My wife got a Dell XPS 13 9380 at the beginning of 2020 to do photo editing, almost exclusively in Lightroom. In 2022 she went from Windows 10 to 11. Over the last year-ish its really started slowing down though. It takes like 2-3 full seconds to switch from one photo to the next inside Lightroom, which is borderline unusable. Is there anything I can do to speed this thing up?

I installed a new font today that has 4 styles: Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic. When I install the fonts I am only able to access 2 of them. If I go to the Fonts folder in my C drive only 2 of the fonts show up. If I select that font family and delete it, the other 2 fonts will take its place. However, if I go to Windows settings, navigate to fonts, and select the font I just installed it says that I have all 4 styles installed. This is the first time I've ever had anything like this happen. Please help!

Everything is in the same room, so distance isn't the problem. It's more that I wanted to each PC to only have a single cable for NAS connection and internet. I also wanted the ability to connect more than 2 PCs at one time (Synology only offers 10Gb cards with up to 2 ports), hence the switch.

What kind of cooling issues would I run into with that solution? Would it be better to kit out all my PCs and the NAS with 10Gbps SFP+ cards instead of RJ45 ones?

5 ports would be ideal but I'm pretty open to whatever is available.

Hoping for something under $300 but I kinda just want to know what's out there. And I need RJ45 ports.

I'm looking for a small 10Gb switch for my home office. I'd like to upgrade my PCs and NAS to 10Gb in order to start video editing off of the NAS and the one piece I haven't been able to find is a small switch that supports 10Gb.
