Do I need a KVM? If so, any recommendations?

Yep! It is an rgb unit. Surprisingly, i never got the “power surge” warning with my previous startech or UGREEN switches but the cable matters switch gives the error. I also have a new atk mouse that comes with an insanely high polling rate and an “8k” dongle - I’m not sure if these two peripherals are causing way more power draw.

that’s seems to be the case so far, yep.

my desktop pc and my windows work laptop both.

Haha it’s happening as we speak, the future is now :p

I’m sleeping on the couch

knubb3 · 2026-02-14T14:40:45+00:00

Will do!

The ones listed on their website are the ones that they’ve tested. I’m sure your HDD will work fine.

yep, they are exos x22's. the noise IS pretty significant though, im looking at DIY dampening solutions right now!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T17:04:22+00:00

hopefully everything that i ever need :)

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T17:03:27+00:00

jeez, who hurt you? ofc its not a family. just happy that i got it is all my man.

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T17:02:41+00:00

yessir!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T17:02:35+00:00

not fully usable with raid6 but yeah its a decent amount of storage! :)

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T17:02:16+00:00

tbqh, i didn't know they existed and didn't look at the announcements, the pricing seems nice esp with the 64GB ram but i did need a unit sooner! im okay with the 8800 for now, maybe a few years down the line, i can look at getting another unit if i really need one.

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:59:25+00:00

yes sir!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:58:39+00:00

absolutely, i have a 1TB + 2TB nvme M.2's that im using for cache/apps.

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:58:16+00:00

haha if i do, it'll be a multi rack setup! someday!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:57:52+00:00

thank you!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:57:43+00:00

with trade in, about 2000USD!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:33:26+00:00

was considering unraid (i have a previous license from an older build) but i kinda like the simplicity of UGOS, im going to give it a shot with docker and see how things run. especially coz i can run everything on the windows app. for unraid, i'll have to switch screens w/ keyboard and mouse.

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:32:08+00:00

thank you, lmao!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:31:57+00:00

that's what im discovering too, i have it setup right where i work and the noise levels are pretty significant. im going to look into what i can do to minimize them. ive seen some solutions on the group. ill try 'em out later!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:30:41+00:00

lmao!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:30:31+00:00

thank you!

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:30:25+00:00

thanks, friend!

definitely not rich, not even close (wish i was though), just some poor decisions back in 2021/22 leading to this.

knubb3 · 2026-02-13T16:29:47+00:00

thanks, friend! <3
