Nope, you have to do the bypass

2.5" disks are SMR, you don’t want that in a raid.

Unless you have use case for that much horsepower I would suggest, like others here, buy a mini PC as a start and if you need more down the line buy a second one. They are cheap, fairly quiet and don’t use much power.

No not really, even with a couple of hundred employees it would be a lot for that.

Does zoom do a ton more than the meeting app since they have 7500 employees?

It’s called power supply idle control, worth a test.

There is an issue with ryzen and certain PSUs that when it goes to idle it pulls so little power that the psu thinks it’s off and kills the power, it can appear as a hang. there should be an option in the bios to change it to “typical power” or named something similar.

Yes it’s normal, I sometimes use that to disinfect my ears after diving and it sizzles a bit.

If I where you I would just buy a regular case that can fit a decent amount of HDDs like a fractal define 7 or one of its older versions and transplant your current computer into that with some new drives. 100tb is 5 20tb drives so you don’t need that many.

USB enclosures are not a great way to handle storage as USB tends to be unreliable.

Yes and it sucks, I would love one

I agree but many use it as if it’s actual power consumption

Afaik TDP isn’t power consumption, it’s more input to the manufacturers of the coolers and it’s not calculated the same between AMD and Intel.

Aren’t any AMD based ones? Seems to be very few laptops with AMD gfx overall.

Because they are just rebranding oem devices

Sure but it was supposed to be returned either way

They gave the artist a bunch of money that was supposed to be used in the piece and was to be returned once done. It wasnt used nor returned.

You could try corectrl, don’t know if it works with that GPU but it supports desktop AMD GPUs

Around 40C

I have a 12 drive setup in a define 7 (not xl) and it’s working fine. As long as I keep the filters decently clean from dust the temps are fine.

Same, cant stand Samsung’s bloated software not that pixel is perfect in this regard but miles better.
