Nvidia also just came out with this:
NVIDIA Announces Turing-Powered Quadro RTX Family: RTX 8, 6, & 5 Arrive In Q4’218

Gonna wait for their GTX derivatives to be released before I upgrade

I'm thinking of setting up a home NAS for my personal and work files. RAID data protection would be great.
It would be based on the DiskStation DS418j plus 6TB HGST drives.

On the other hand, I just ordered a couple of 2TB SATA SSDs, so those might fit the bill for my desktop PC for the moment.

Any suggestions or tips for setting up a home NAS?

looking at 4tb and higher (and maybe scaleable)for work. I used up 1tb just this week.

1TB in a week for work? Company server or personal workstation?

it was an on-site "job" need the high capacity for backup of the backup [emoji28]

not enough redundancy..

I just connect hard drives via usb to a usb 3.0 8port hub and then connect to an old i7 laptop repurposed as a file and print server. I have like 20tb of downloaded files.

I use PLEX to serve up the video. I also use Airvideo HD to serve the files to IOS devices.

I cant figure out how to make PLEX stream to devices out of my home network.

That's a good way to repurpose old hardware. Thanks for the suggestion, I have a few old laptops lying around, I'll think about going that route (although I will miss the redundancy that RAID will give me...).

... 20TB! I thought my 5TB worth of files were a lot

[EQAddict]

Hehe my fantasy and sci fi book collection alone is 1tb . Downloaded over the years from an obscure site. And yes some of these are digitized comics so the file sizes are heavy. Though most of them are just novels in MOBI or PDF or Epub formats. Cant read them all which is a shame.

For the RAID setup, you can use the RAID calculator to know how much usable space you need, it is on synology website. RAID5/SHR is enough for most usage. You can make it RAID6/SHR-2 if data is important, you lose 50% capacity that can survive 2 disk failure.

Thanks for the tip! I'll be going with RAID 5, and just back up my critical data daily on external SSDs. I'll just be using a 4-disk array, so space would be at a premium.

Ideally I'd have another NAS on RAID 10, but I'd likely do this only when my critical data is about to go over 2TB.

Yup just look up the model of your NAS. RAID 10 is for performance, are you going to run write intensive application?

Yes, a small local database with high availability and redundancy. I may even try storing some games, if the performance is acceptable

I'm thinking of getting the Synology DiskStation DS418j which should support most common RAID types.

Damn. They are now fighting core per core.

But amd is going to release 64threads right?

Noticed that the tech is stucked in 14nm. Nawala na ang tick tock scheme nang intel?

Competition from AMD is pushing Intel to release a newer timeline. New 10nm fab will be up and running soon...

KFC made a bucket-shaped gaming PC that warms chicken | Engadget

the KFConsole could be a pretty speedy machine, as it’s equipped with an Intel Nuc9 Extreme Compute Element that we called “the new king of tiny gaming PCs.” It includes an ASUS-built hot-swappable NVIDIA GPU and Intel CPU (though Cooler Master didn’t specify which), along with a 1TB Seagate NVME SSD. Cooler Master claims that it’s VR ready, supports ray tracing and can handle 4K TV gaming and frame rates up to 240 fps.
