    What's the purpose of NAS that supports Plex?

    Thanks for answering this question!! I basically have determined that since I have a 24/7 running PC, and only use plex when I'm not using the PC, there is no reason to have a powerful NAS! Thanks again.

    What's the purpose of NAS that supports Plex?

    I've seen a lot of people getting very excited over NAS that supports transcoding/encoding on the fly, but really, what is the benefit? Why wouldn't you just have your computer connect to a MUCH CHEAPER NAS and run plex from the PC? Am I missing something, aside from maybe a slightly lower...

    The [H]ard Forum Storage Showoff Thread - Post your 10TB+ systems

    ^The expenses are just ridiculous, but that's what I figured. I'm already struggling to keep my 3 TB system backed up can't imagine an 8 TB system. Although I am using 2x3TB Synology Hybrid RAID, so basically will be purchasing 4x3TB for 3 TB of storage, so my methods are very stupid.

    HDD Warranty Services, Returns, and Privacy

    That kinda sucks. A refurbished _ANYTHING ELSE_ sounds fine, but a refurbished hard drive is one thing that sounds destined to fail.

    The [H]ard Forum Storage Showoff Thread - Post your 10TB+ systems

    How do you guys with larger (10-20 TB+) storage solutions deal with backing up your data?

    HDD Warranty Services, Returns, and Privacy

    I just had one of my Western Digital RED drives fail in a Synology RAID. I've never been someone who would return hard drives before, because they contain personal information. However, I just bought this thing for $150 less than 6 months ago, and would really prefer to just return the...

    Vast Lithium Reserves Discovered in Wyoming

    Right, because China is a capitalist mecca. China is a government run country, with global capitalist-zones in government approved areas only. That's not capitalism.

    Synology Hybrid RAID - What's the point in a 2-disk system?

    Well, first off, extremely jealous of your insane (awesom) storage solution. What the heck do you store on that thing!? Secondly, yes, but my NAS is a maximium of TWO drives. It seems to me that it would be better to setup a nightly backup of Drive A onto Drive B, rather than using the...

    Synology Hybrid RAID - What's the point in a 2-disk system?

    I recently purchased a Synology DS212j and installed 2x 3TB WD Red Drives. Upon formatting the disks, it asked me to choose a method of initiation for the drives, and I went with the defaul "Synology Hybrid RAID". I have now looked into this a little more and it appears that the "Synology...

    Overclocked AMD Phenom II X3 720BE, now temperatures soared?

    Just downloaded AMD overdrive - getting the exact same readings. I don't know how my chip is still running if it has been routinely getting up to 89º C when playing Skyrim....

    Alright, I'll give that a try this weekend.

    Overclocked AMD Phenom II X3 720BE, now temperatures soared?

    No, no, and no...I've been lazy with that stuff, unfortunately. Could it really make that big of a difference? If so, I'll investigate. I've always hated the thermal paste thing, how are you supposed to spread out paste the size of a "grain of rice" across the entire chip? I'm also hesitant...

    Overclocked AMD Phenom II X3 720BE, now temperatures soared?

    CoreTemp does, shows CPU #0: 82º C Keep in mind this is all running 100% stock again. I never overclocked or unlocked 4th core before this week, so I never paid any attention to the temps. I just bumped my case fans up to high, but how much of a difference could that possibly make... (I've...

    Overclocked AMD Phenom II X3 720BE, now temperatures soared?

    OK, I have now reverted back to 3 cores, and realized that it wasn't the 4th core causing the overheating. My CPUID Hardware Monitor is now showing just as high temps - even higher! See image below... Now, is this accurate? How is my chip overheating to ridiculous temps after only 20...
