    Meraki MX64 or Sophos UTM9 or Pfsense

    I run Sophos UTM 9 myself with a gigabit internet connection (Google Fiber), and it works great. The PC I'm using is a five year old i3 (I forget which exact model). Only time I've seen any slowdown is with IPS/Filtering/etc turned on while downloading from Steam or similar game download...

    Is an MMO on an SSD a good idea?

    I ran World of Warcraft off of my SSD for several years, and I have yet to have an SSD die of overuse.

    nVidia drivers - no more DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD?

    I wish I had one; the 4K thing makes this impossible right now though. They don't sell a converter that does DP 1.3 to HDMI 2.0. One is announced, but that's it. I might have to drop 4K until things mature more here, depending on what's going on with the nVidia drivers.

    nVidia drivers - no more DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD?

    This is what I'm hoping, but they have 3 newer driver releases, and it happens in all of them, which worries me. Also, the drivers I'm using apparently have a DXVA bug in them. If I enable DXVA in Kodi, the video playback is...messed up. All washed out, almost like every other frame is all...

    nVidia drivers - no more DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD?

    Hey all, I have a HTPC with an nVidia video card - GTX 960. Been running it for at least 6 months without really any trouble, but a couple of days ago, after updating the video drivers, I realized that DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD wasn't being passed into my receiver any longer. After a lot of...

    Weird problem with home network

    Also, best to be more detailed about exactly what is hooked up how. Is the new "TWC Ubee" router your new wireless router? So it's a combined cable modem/router? Are you speed testing from your laptop while wired or wireless? If the new router is doing both your wireless and the cable modem...

    Silicon Dust attempt at a DVR capable of recording protected content?

    I'm a fan of this idea. Of course, I have a Ceton network tuner instead of the SD one, and I have a feeling they aren't developing this to work with any tuners but their own.

    Two computers, one Monitor/keyboard/mouse set

    My laptop supports doing 3 total (through the dock at least). 1 DP, one VGA, one DVI. If I try to use the built-in screen though, it shuts the DP one down though. ElFenix, that might be what I settle for, for two of the monitors. Doesn't solve the keyboard/mouse though, so I might need a KVM...

    Two computers, one Monitor/keyboard/mouse set

    So, wonder if anyone has experience doing this: I work from home and have two computers - my work laptop (Which I do all my work on, docked) and my home/gaming computer. I have 3 monitors that I use for work. My gaming PC has two monitors. I've just got a new desk, and I'm looking to save...

    Dedicated PC for Plex Media Server worth it?

    You don't need much to do that. Heck, I was streaming 1080p MKVs with an Intel Atom processor a couple years ago. Granted I had a dedicated video card to do the decoding of the video, but the only reason I upgraded from the thing was because using the GUI to pick what to watch was slower than I...

    Is there such thing as an Ethernet output selector?

    You can get a router that supports dual WAN ports; they are generally more expensive than the standard home routers, since they are designed around businesses, but they have the ability to "fallover" immediately if one of the internet connections go down, like you are doing manually. That's the...

    Cutting the cord questions

    I donated to MCEBuddy just because it was so dang useful I wanted to support its development. The newer MCEBuddy can use Intel QuickSync for converting, which speeds things up considerably. But I also run it on a different computer than I record on - I just share my "recorded TV" folder on the...

    Plex fans: why do you use Plex?

    I use plex because I use many devices. We have an iPad, Andorid phones and tablets, a Surface Pro 3, a Roku, and a HTPC. With Plex, I have an interface that is basically the same across them all that my children are capable of using, and I don't have to keep multiple copies of my movies in...

    Motherboard Ethernet Ports

    In general, Intel ones are better is the short answer. The more experience I've had with different onboard NICs, though, the more I've hated all of them. For example, if you use a Ceton InfiniTV network device with a CableCARD, you run into some really bad corruption and slowness with a lot of...

    I'm tired of crappy TV resolution on my PC.. I need better quailty

    I have the 2nd one personally, using with WOW. The picture is very good. Just as a warning; if you go into the CableCard on PC route, it's not precisely for the faint of heart; the Ceton Products work well, but can be very finicky to get set up and working. The network tuner for example will...

    Help me figure out how to hook this receiver/monitors combo.

    I think I'm settling on this. Receiver doesn't decode TrueHD this was, since Optical can't carry it, but that's the smallest annoyance of the options.

    Cannot resolve peculiar, persistent NIC error in WHS 2011 Event Logs

    Sounds like you're already doing what my next step would be. I'm not sure what error that event refers to, but throwing a different NIC in the computer and disabling the nVidia one should at least tell you if the error is configuration related or hardware (or driver) related. My gut says that...

    Win8.1 after some months ...

    The odd thing is that I recently went through something similar, and had the opposite feeling. I needed to revert to Windows 7 for a few weeks on my main PC, and whatever is under the hood made a big difference. Some noticeable differences revolved around my video conversion. MCEBuddy...

    IPv6 learning experiment; help?

    Is there a way to do that, that won't end up breaking the internet (which is IP4 only here)? I've read about 6to4, but never tried setting something like that up.

    Help me plan my home server storage system

    I'm not positive which it is. I'm basing this off of just flat out copying files over and watching the speed in windows, instead of synthetic benchmarks. So there are a lot of big files (movies) and a lot of small ones (pictures, etc). It wasn't consistent at how fast or slow it went, but if I...

    Help me plan my home server storage system

    I am looking for some advice for the best way to configure my hard drives in my home server. Here's the basics of the setup and what I've been doing. Server running Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2. It runs on a Samsung 820 120 GB SSD, which just basically has the OS. I also have 6 x 3 TB WD...

    IPv6 learning experiment; help?

    Hey all, I'm trying to learn IPv6, whereas all my experience previously has been in IPv4. I came up with an idea of something I wanted to try in my home network. Maybe this is impossible, but maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Here's what I decided to try: I have Windows 2012 R2 Server...

    Intel Graphics 4000 + Discrete AMD Card = Crashes?

    I've just swapped over to using the "virtual" for lack of a better word monitor on the Intel display. Here's for hoping that helps. Thanks.

    Intel Graphics 4000 + Discrete AMD Card = Crashes?

    I've got a system running an Ivy Bridge i5 3570K CPU with an AMD 7800 HD graphics card. It's been running just fine for quite a while. However, last week I looked into using Intel Quick Sync for my Handbrake encoding, so I enabled the Intel 4000 graphics and tested it out. I enjoyed the results...

    Performance issue - will load balancing NICs help?

    Link to Intel docs Specifically, I'm using Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB), which is what I could set up in the HTPC as well; I have extra NICs laying around. As for if I have watched the utilization - not yet. I haven't had a lot of time to troubleshoot it yet, but I'll check and see what's...

    Performance issue - will load balancing NICs help?

    I have a question related to network traffic, latency, and potentially NIC load balancing as related to my home network, and I'm curious if anyone has any experience here who can voice opinions as to what can help. The situation is this: I current have a home gigabit network. The parts of it...

    Upgrading to WHS 2011 - Not missing Drive Extender

    From what I remember, Home Server 2011 will not correctly back up partitions that are greater than 2TB in size. I know it can handle them itself, but I do remember there being limitations as to how it can do backups, that had to do with the size of the volume. It definitely doesn't back up...

    Home server keeps rebooting. Suggestions?

    I stopped testing at that point, since it had been up longer than I had seen in a long time. As for where things stand now - it did, eventually ,crash again using just 1 NIC. It just took ~24 hours. My final move was to uninstall the driver from Intel, and let it fall back to the default...

    Home server keeps rebooting. Suggestions?

    You're correct; it is noting that the shutdown was unexpected. After some more digging, I did find where it's doing a dump of the error as well. I haven't been able to decode it yet. However, I did try to remove the NIC teaming, and it did help somewhat. The NICs are all Intel CT cards...

    Home server keeps rebooting. Suggestions?

    Here's where I'm at: I've got Gen 1 i7 that's currently my home server. It's running Windows 2012 Essentials. It has 8 HDDs (one is a SSD, for the OS), a generic old PCI video card (probably 10 years old), and 4 NICS (this was an experiment learning about NIC teaming). The power supply is 550...

    My Storage Spaces Disaster

    I like it. It's very, very similar to Home Server 2011. Personally, it was a good fit for me, because I was running a Domain Controller on a secondary VM, and now I don't need it, since Essentials 2012 runs off a Domain. It's not as easy to set up as Home Server 2011, but it's not horrible...

    My Storage Spaces Disaster

    Personally I don't expect an update. It's a 5 year old motherboard at this point, so I doubt they are jumping over making it work "properly" for brand new OSes.

    My Storage Spaces Disaster

    I wanted to share an experience I had last night with the new "Storage Spaces" option in Windows Server 2012/Windows 8, as a way of warning people. I decided to set up Server 2012 Essentials to take over for my old Windows Home Server. Missing the old Drive Extender from the original WHS, I...

    Reliability of SSDs?

    It's not the fact that it's french, so much as the fact that there isn't an English site who's jumped on and corroborated it, to me. Heaven knows that in the US, people love bad news, and usually the media will be all over something that shows blood in the water. I've owned 2 OCZ SSDs. The...

    Questioning my purchase of 512 GB Crucial M4

    The odd thing is that in my case, I couldn't disagree more. I hate, HATE using any computers that do not have a SSD now. My work computer (Sandy Bridge i7-2600, 7200 RPM 1TB drive) constantly slows down doing things that my home computer (Sandy Bridge i5 2500, with Intel G2 SSD) has no problem...

    Lowest possible wattage htpc capable of flawless 1080p playback...

    I currently use a G530 on my HTPC. It plays HD content from Netflix, Blu-Rays, and x264 encoded movies/TV without any dropped frames or slowdown. I haven't tried Hulu+, but I have no doubt it would handle it as well.
