Excellent seller! Grab these while you can guys if you have upcoming Amazon purchases.

That has a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot on it too, so you can add a 10GbE NIC to it. Note: it doesn't fit flush with the side of the case so you'll have to remove/bend the NIC bracket or use an PCIe riser/extender. Load up a free open source firewall like...

What firewall did you change to? I'm not really aware of other firewalls (either FOSS or inexpensive licensing) that have feature parity with Untangle. OPNsense + ZenArmor (as kydsid mentioned) can probably get you like 80% there.

The official MSRP for the 7700 XT is likely a thing of the past, considering that Radeon RX 6000 availability is dwindling by the day, and both AMD and NVIDIA don’t have much in the pipeline until the next-gen drops. Currently, there are four...

You can still find the 16gb RX 6800 for $375, but the RX 7700 XT at $395 is 5% faster and arguably makes more sense now. XFX has the SWFT 319 and 319 Core for reasonably competitive prices, but the next two cards are the QICK 319 Black and...

Chelsio NICs might fit the bill.

Many of the newer LSI controllers do support trim etc. but yes the more common older chipsets do not and that really isn’t mentioned enough. A ssd will work for those but won’t perform too well and likely would die prematurely. I don’t have the...

To add to this, just re LSI HBAs (not SAS use per se), SSD TRIM isn't supported on them if the drive lacks support for DRAT/RZAT. (That's a lot of acronyms I know :p). Only mentioning since it doesn't get enough coverage imo. This is problematic...

You can physically plug in a SATA drive into a SAS connector, but not vice versa. I think it depends on the controller if the drive will work. I'm used to using LSI HBAs like the 9211-8i and they work with either SATA or SAS.

I haven't paid all that much attention. I believe HP has been more restrictive with recent models. I can tell you from experience it really isn't a side grade. Them old 325s are way better than nearly any other ac AP out there. Rock of Gibraltar...

I've had great luck with Glorious mice. Using the original model O for many years and also have the model O v2.

At the same time you're uninstalling the AMD drivers, you can also prep Windows for ACHI mode (or, if you've already migrated the drive to the new system, you can likewise make the changes if you're interested in re-enabling ACHI in the BIOS)...

TP Link Omada. I have two EAP660 HD APs and they are fantastic. The Omada controller can be used with a hardware appliance, you can self host it, or pay a cloud subscription (IIRC $5 per AP). I run a docker container. If you've used the Unifi...

Do you always try to get all the achievements in stuff you play? That will quickly detract from enjoyment I've found.
