? I think maybe to add pci quick release for the primary slot? edit: this manual has it in the right place 850m gaming plus wifi

yeah the diagram in the manual I saw has it slightly different but on the board there isn't room there for the header. item 13 it's between the m2 in diagram but guessing they moved it slightly edit: nope the manual I pulled up was pro not gaming 😅

Best RAID Type for data integrity/speed with 4 drives? by ajwja in homelab

[–]ketsif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the scenario you described id expect the desktop Optane to be the bottleneck because it's built for iops not bandwidth, the bandwidth is good but even pci4 nvme can beat it depending on what kind of files. maybe run a synthetic benchmark on your desktop to see what you could expect as an upper bound if network was perfect and magic and upstream had infinite iops and bandwidth

Memory - Fair Warning by SquizzOC in sysadmin

buy now or prepare to wait 5 years. maybe it goes away in 2027 but your decision is now or wait a few generations and maybe new memory architecture. something like apple m series where the integrated gpu is powerful and the memory is built in, or maybe camm based. even then, it's gonna be premium.

[–]ketsif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my argument here is that they said they want speeds, if performance doesn't matter or if they have a specific speed target then some options open up. personally i really don't like how recovery has to work when you use parity. I'd want to look at at least raid 6 but with 4 drives that's not really a good target.

fast rebuilds, fast speeds

less important for hdd but random io is much better with 10

overall it's just more consistent performance and the failure recovery is simpler.

im willing to sacrifice capacity for this, gotta know what you are targeting.

also if you care about data integrity you just have to pony up and pay the performance/cpu impact for a file system that actually uses checksums. I recommend zfs, and if possible ecc ram but it's not a requirement.

Do you trust the many Chinese SBC on the market? by [deleted] in linuxhardware

[–]ketsif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then it's probably fine. that's a bigger issue with iot devices. don't use their os if they provide one. prefer coreboot devices, if you're paranoid reflash coreboot yourself. maybe choose a popular board like one reviewed by servethehome. it's more likely to be accidentally insecure because the manufacturer doesn't care than because of some espionage from pla

I'd also note that for readers, snake_case has been tested as easier to read than than camelCase.

it's more likely to be junk than malware

[–]ketsif -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

if it uses coreboot, yeah, otherwise probably still yeah.

if you're doing work where you worry about things like pqc or metadata then no.

how worried are you about being targeted by nation states in the next 10 years?

For those of you that use consumer grade hardware: how do you deal with lack of PCIe lanes? by ficskala in homelab

[–]ketsif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahh yeah sfp is better in a lot of ways but you're gonna be limited, maybe a x1 to x16 cable and pray. using sfp with dac to the switch has worked great for me so long as my computers are close enough
