Nope. I have never even seen a GameStop in my country + I was growing up in a time when buying games digitally became the norm.

Ahh that explains why it’s foreign to me. I thought it was a small but highly esteemed review studio 5 years ago or sm. Thx for the info!

Doesn’t ring a bell for me. Is it a good gaming news site?

LETSGOOOOOOOOO

Holy fuck you are seriously downvoted. Idk man I definitely feel like that your opinion is the sane thought most people have.

Agree with you. Yeah Pewd has said some iffy things in the long long past like that bridge incident, but he did change and he is an amazing person overall.

It’s easy to judge a person nowadays for 1 misshap or act, but please be more thorough.

Oh that definitely seem possible but I would assume going with a trusted seller with a warranty like goharddrive and serverpartdeal must be a safer choice in this regard.

Hungary, but these prices seem to be one of the best I was able to find currently.

Oh that’s interesting. Your dislikement towards Mozilla’s shenanings is valid, but what areas makes you hate Mozilla more than Google? Is it also due to convienience issues, because some sites are broken on Firefox?

Wouldn’t that be too harsh? They could get a notice, like can you switch to english because of rules?

Doesn’t seem like a tech article to me

Have you had data loss occurences in these bay enclosures? Some other commenters have said, that using it as a primary storage is really risky because some crappy controllers could ruin the drives’s data for example.

Yeah a DIY NAS PC sounds like a fun choice, it’s just too bad that this mini PC was a waste of cash if talking about storage. I do have an old PC, but it’s a 3770K which is mighty beast for sure, but definitely a more power hungry device.

And what’s your experience with it? Is the data transfer speed fast enough for you? Where do you do backups?

So as a TLDR a DAS really should only be used as an offside backup plan or secondary storage then? I might really have to do a DIY NAS with a desktop PC then. Thank you for the warning!

Wow thank you for these links, you’re insane. And if you would start this homelab process again, then would you go with this mini PC + DAS layout again, or with desktop pc as a NAS?

And what kinda mobo have you went with? A microATX perhaps?

Sounds like a good idea, since according to the comments it seems I really shouldn’t be using DAS as a primary storage (not with USB specifically).

Yeah this option seems like a more robust option than using an USB one. Unfortunately my mini PC doesn’t offer a sata connection, but thank you for the suggestion!

That’s still far away from us as a consumer standpoint, but I’m eagerly waiting for a time when I could buy a RISC V laptop with atleast midrange computing capabalities
