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?

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

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

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.
