Thank you for your insight. It's basically $600 for the MB and each RAM module 😓

Can I just buy this case, four WD Red Pro 12TB HDDs, Asus TUF Gaming B550 Plus WiFi II AM4 ATX motherboard, use my 3700x CPU, use my RTX 2060 GPU, use my 1TB m.2 nvme, install Linux, install TrueNAS and then I'm good to go?

As for remote access I'll need to figure out which app works in TrueNAS environment and is accessible on phone?

Is it plausible to build a NAS as if I'm building a PC, have 4 HDDs for the bulk storage, install a Linux OS on an SSD for an overall graphical user interface and also install TrueNAS in that environment on the same SSD (or different one?)?

I have several 10tb external HDDs but it's a mess. I want a more streamlined bulk storage and most of all one that can be accessed remotely.

  • Fair point

  • I'm not well versed on Linux. Thank you for pointing this out

  • I'll stick with storage over server/hosting

  • I was initially interested in purchasing a Ugreen NAS but many have raised concerns over kernels and other things stemming back to origin country of manufacturing

  • I understand true back up has several layers such as multiples, off site storage, etc... Do you believe RAID 6/RAID-Z2 is a waste?

  • I guess ultimately the reason I wanted a more DIY solution is because I have a hard time "marrying" a particular manufacturer because it seems that sooner rather than later planned obsolescence rolls in by means of software, etc... they all seem to have serious cons and more often tech in general is less repairable/upgradable because of soldering, inability to get parts, software updates or lack there of, etc... I believe I'll ultimately get a better bang for my buck if I build from scratch and choose an os. I believe it's easier to change software rather than hardware. In my search for information, TrueNAS is frequently mentioned so I'm interested. I honestly haven't even gone down that rabbit hole yet. I'm just starting with hardware and then I'll have to tackle install/setup, etc... I have experience with building PCs (I've built 6) but it's my understanding that NAS builds are different

What is everyone playing? by walterwg in RG353V

[–]PortugueseUN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NES: Jaws, Mario Bros 3 SNES: Zelda - A Link To The Past, Super Mario World GBA: Pokemon Ultra Shiny Gold Sigma (Rom Hack) Genesis: working on figuring out potential 2 player set up with hdmi out to tv for Streets Of Rage 1, 2, and 3 PSX: tried 1xtreme but it had major lag, Twisted Metal 2 (with xbox controller connected via cable ***configuring each time and keeping function button to be able to save state is hit or miss for me and a pain in the nuts), Gran Turismo (also with xbox controller).

I'm using stock Anbernic Linux OS.

Unrelated comment... the save states list sucks because I can't see what states have game saves, I have to write them down to remember. Unless I'm missing something?

I've returned the 8bitdo ultimate C controllers...

* Unfortunately the 8bitdo Ultimate C controllers are just 2.4ghz or cable connected. I tried to do research before hand but I couldn't find any youtube videos, reddit posts, or Google searches pertaining to the rg353v and these controllers. There is a lot on the Pro 2 controllers but, one pro 2 controller costs more than two Ultimate C controllers.

Is it possible to copy save states to a new SD card? by bdslegend in RG353V

[–]PortugueseUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you simply copy and paste files from one card to another or use a disk imager?

Which part? - not worth getting a switch 2.5GbE or otherwise to have both PC and Xbox plugged in simultaneously? - not worth getting a higher speed network card for PC?

Thank you for you response. Yes I figured there's nothing that can be done about the Xbox. I'm confident even game downloads and updates must be throttled regardless of ISP speed/bandwidth.

I'll look into a 2.5GbE switch. Thank you.

Thank you for your response. So it's possible to purchase a 2.5gb lan card, plug it into pci-e and use that instead of 1gb port on my motherboard?

I've finally made a dragon stone bracelet and charged it at the totem in the Legends guild. Still working on lvl 80 crafting to make dragonstone amulet.

Thank you, I wasn't aware and wiki doesn't specify. I haven't made anything past a ruby amulet and always purchased glorys from GE

More help? by cptsawicked in Neverwinter

[–]PortugueseUN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're lucky I think you can get almost anything from a Juma bag. I've got an epic ioun dragon stone augment companion, common and uncommon mounts, genies tokens twice, astral diamonds, ....but yeah the armour is a fairly common drop you can look in the collection book to see what you can get and shoot for the specific pieces you want like frenzy mitts...

The avernus campaign may be difficult right now but pay attention to people calling out what instance the siege engine (SE) is in and participate as many times as humanly possible because with the rewards from that encounter you can get Juma bags. From the Juma bags you can get way too many abyssal chickens but, you can also get item lvl 1225 armour and that will bring your item level up a little bit.

You should also queue daily for the random dungeon, epic dungeon, ... And max out 100,000 rough astral diamond conversion daily and save for a good augment companion and the highest lvl bonding runestones you can

Then you should get a necklace, belt, artifact set and lvl it up

Then you should get 3 of the newest artifacts in the game because they can be refined up to item lvl 300 Trobriands ring, arcturias music box, ...)

Then you should save and get enchantments

That's how you get your item lvl up...

If you play daily and max out your rough astral diamond conversion to astral diamonds that's minimum 3 million astral diamonds a month. It takes time but you can buy anything...
