    Fanless NAS

    There is ZERO fan noise from my Synology. The issue is dust build up. It sucks in and builds up a tremendous amount of dust which requires periodic cleaning. I want a fanless solution. My storage needs are minimal. I do zero media streaming from the NAS.

    Fanless NAS

    I like my Synology Diskstation DS218+, but I want a fanless NAS that I can use with SSD NAS drives. Is there any good off-the-shelf solution?

    2.5 inch HDD NAS drives

    Thanks. I don't need a lot of capacity. My Synology 2-bay has two 1TB 2.5" WD RED HDD in RAID 1 storage pool and it is only at 9% usage. So I might even go for two 500GB WD RED SSD and still be way under what I need.

    2.5 inch HDD NAS drives

    Wow I'm so surprised. If SSD is OK for NAS now, I would totally prefer that over mechanical drives. I had never considered SSD because last time I built a computer, SSD was only something you put your OS and other software on, and HDD were for data storage. I just assumed this meant that SSD is...

    2.5 inch HDD NAS drives

    Did WD stop making 2.5 inch RED HDD NAS drives? Is there any quiet 3.5" NAS drive that would match the quietness of my 2.5" WD RED drives?

    Win 10 installer error

    Thanks. Do I just enter the old product key when Windows 10 asks for a product key, or is there an intermediate step required before I can use the old keys in Win 10?

    Win 10 installer error

    Thanks that's good to know. The USB drive from Microsoft did work before, so I don't know why it didn't work this time. Probably something got corrupted. Anyway, making my own using the Media Creation Tool worked great, so I can just do it that way in the future. And I already had the legally...

    You mean download Windows and make my own USB installer? I'm using the one I got from Microsoft:

    Win 10 installer error

    Windows has not been installed to the hard drive yet. The installer itself is throwing this error right after it starts. I'm trying to install in "Pure UEFI" mode: When I boot from the thumb drive I get this screen first: Then "Loading files...": Then the error screen:

    Win 10 installer error

    I have a full retail USB key copy of Windows 10 Home which I purchased from the Microsoft Store and I am trying install and I'm getting this error. Tried this on two different PCs and same screen appeared. I previously successfully installed Windows from this USB key (over a year or two ago)...

    New PSU shutting itself off after boot

    It was my first impulse to return the new PSU. I got a Corsair PSU and was going to install that and return the Seasonic, but since everything seemed to be OK (after the first two days no more shutdowns) I haven't done that. Now, after the comments that it is more likely the motherboard, I'm not...
