what are some quality 4GB DDR4 unbuffered ECC sticks I should be looking for? and do you have any (re)sellers you recommend? thanks

LOL

I’m starting a little ECC server build around the new Ryzen 3 2200G APU. Need help choosing a motherboard. ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY: Proper ECC support (running in non-ECC mode doesn’t count) 5+ SATA ports OR 4+ SATA ports + 1x M.2 slot Good long-term stability / reliability PREFERRED: Small...

I am looking to power 2 new builds and want to go this route. Can you point me a bit closer in the right direction? What server PSU makes/models I should specifically look for or avoid? And same question wrt breakout boards/cables? Thanks

Batteries are central to the entire concept of UPS. Without a battery, a UPS is just a surge protector.

I read about 3 sentences from that "article" before I had to close the tab. What an insufferable moron. Sealed lead acid batteries are not meant to be drained past the halfway point. When you do this more than a handful of times, they die. This isn't a secret, it's printed all over the damn...

Fat32 is supported and I suppose I could give it a try although the 4gb file limit is pretty lame. memtest came up clean on all 3 clients.

good to know. this is my last resort - i'd rather just throw money at the problem at this point. until I get enough cash for a Synology box it will be copy and paste over and over until it works hopefully :p figured as much, Paragon EXT4 for Windows crashes every now and then as well, and the...

What the hell is going on with my Netgear Router with connected External HDD as NAS? ISP: CenturyLink (shut up) ISP provided modem is a modem + router combo, Cisco DDR2200-CL. This thing is absolute garbage, but if it’s stupid but it works it isn’t stupid right? When connected to...

need a new router with Windows and Mac OS X compatible printer sharing for my Brother DCP-J152W and also my Synology box. should I just get the Asus AC68U and run stock firmware, or find something that runs tomato / open WRT / dd WRT?

I need a 4-bay NAS just for home and family use, storing pictures and documents and whatnot. We have too many PCs to use external drives without hassle. Streaming to the PS3 with PS3MediaServer would be nice although not required. I want to start with 1 WD Red and expand into RAID 5 as I need...

ah well, you snooze you lose! congrats though this is really cool! and if an M2 ever comes out one of you better PM me!

I haven't even logged in since June and I come back to this project entering production?! Awesome. This is sexy as all hell. I may just have to build a Hackintosh out of this instead of going with the iMac...

change of plans, i'm going to use unRAID. i plan on using an efficient PSU (maybe picoPSU) and underclocking the CPU. anything else i should look out for?

I have an old computer laying around that I'd like to turn into a central backup server. All I want is a PC hooked up to my router so that I can have a central place for my foobar2k library, Picasa photos, Clonezilla backups, Windows restore states etc. Obviously I'd like to access the files...
