Desktops & Laptops / Re: Brand new build
Last post by Dave - Today at 03:29 AM
A fair few years ago now I bought an all singing all dancing PC from  our local Aldi store after getting it home I found that I couldn't install my Imation 120MB floppy drive into it. So I went straight down to my local computer store and bought a new tower and within 1 hour of buying the new PC I had stripped it and had it in bits on the table and started installing the motherboard etc into the new tower.

I was then able to add the 120MB drive into it and was off.

I, like both of you, have always been fascinated with the tech and used to mess around adding bits here and there.

My present set up, bought in 2021 is:

Device        Dell XPS 8940
Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400 CPU @ 2.90GHz  2.90 GHz
Installed RAM    32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)
System type    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Edition    Windows 11 Pro
Version    23H2

All in the tower
NVMe CT1000P5SSD8 1TB
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB
Samsung SSD 870 QVO 2TB

I also have 4 Synology NAS drives

1 to store all my music (using 2 x Samsung 4TB SSD drives not on RAID)
1 to store photos and all other personal stuff ( 2 x Seagate 4TB platter drives on RAID = 4TB)
1 to act as backup for the music drive (2 x Toshiba 6TB platter drives on RAID = 6TB)
1 to store all my wife's photography photos (she has he own business) ( 2 x Seagate 2TB platters on RAID)

In case you're wondering my music collection is more than 2.67TB and it's growing all the time.

The reason for the drives in the tower is because every now and then, I try to remember to do it monthly, I clone my current 'C' drive onto the 'Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB' then if for any reason the current drive fails all I have to do is swap the drives over and all I've lost is 1 month of stuff.

I'm a great believer in backups  ;D

Maybe later you can upload those files and I'll see what I can do. I might not be able to do much but I'll try. I have to get my tools re-installed first though.

I did a search on Github for checking an image. Since this is SMF code, you should be able to impliment this into your theme:
