My raid 0 living on the edge lifestyle

No redundancy oml

Like less than 50% as safe as one drive lol

And I've already had them for over 2.5 years

I think I'm gonna invest in RAID5 drives

b e t

one of these days, tryna make my own case that can do EVERYTHING I want

You do know how raid 5 works right?

like, my 450D is a great case, but in my ideal computer, I'd have more room behind the motherboard, and I'd also want there to be a hotswap SSDs, which I would have in some sort of RAID, but I'd like a much better case for my HDD storage, since I only have 2TB in my server rn, I'd like to expand to about 10TB or more.

Yeah I know how RAID 5 works

it's faster than RAID 1, but more redundant than both RAID 0 and 1

And only 3 drives hell yeet

@Wayne are cheaper Acer monitors any good

i have had bad experiences with acer laptops

Depends on what specs you want, like higher than 60Hz frequency, IPS panel etc. If you only want a 60hz 1080p IPS panel, acer has pretty good quality control for their lower end, dirt cheap IPS standard monitors

otherwise, I would be pretty loose between asus and their VG248 and other brands like samsung

BenQ is pretty popular, but from most people that have upgraded from them and have experience and understanding of quality for a monitor (unlike Mad Dogg and Don't ping me), they talk bad about the quality of BenQ's but that isn't from my own experience/spec so I can't say anything in favor of them.

But yeah, Acer is pretty well-rounded for that sort of thing.

@Polygon ill do that

is building a desktop hard lol

i have a lenovo y520 and its pretty shit

laptops seem to really slow down after about 9 months to a year, at least that's my experience

yes, even the chromebooks.

well, I guess it really depends on the TDP, my first chromebook worked well for me for about a year, but the one I'm using right now has lasted about a year and a half

@GirlBeGood so what is your use case? You just doing notes and light stuff like that?

eh

light gaming

league of legends, csgo

that kind

@Polygon

im going to college next year

so ill buy a chromebook once for each year

looking online each are about $200

yeah they're p good for the price

im trying to go into geosciences and idk if i need to run models in class

honestly just get any chromebook, then get a quadcore with a GTX 1050 Ti or 1060

are those good

i know nothing about computers

well some

my friend brags about his gtx 1080

lolllll I'm not sure you want to be building a PC then
