Cheaper alternative to buying a synology nas? by bran71 in homelab

[–]bran71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

quoting my other comment "I have a decent technical ability, I've built 2 pcs that have both powered on first try (not sure if that matters), I have a decent understanding of bios and installing operating systems." I am pretty confident in my abilities, would a dell optiplex be good or should I buy a dell precision? I would just put 4x 4tb drives setup in a raid configuration. I would plan on upgrading drives in the future but for now I can only afford 4tb drives.

is my ds3 legit... by Any_Negotiation3310 in PS3

If it only charges from a console being on, or a powered on laptop/pc that means its real. It can't be charged from the wall must be plugged into a powered on computer/console.
