    Oh stfu. That seagate problem was so damn long ago and wasn't super widespread. So many storage servers use seagate. All of Linus's storage is seagate as well as many other KZreadrs.

    I regretted buying HGST drives for my main NAS due to heavy vibration (don't know if that's normal or an issue with one or multible of the drives), so I bought WD Red's for my backup NAS. My little brother who manages the servers at the company he works for, recomended the Iron Wolf's though. I had a Barracuda IV die on me once, but then again, I have had newer WD drives than that die on me too. turns out that WD greens in a home server is a bad idea if you don't disable the Green features...

    The simplest solution would be to go to Plex (google it), download and install the software on your PC, point it to the libraries you want to stream and have it scan em. You will be able to watch it for free on (other) desktops or Chromecast. For phone or tablet streaming, you gotta shell out money. For the PC specs, unless it's really old, anything really works. I had a Core 2 Duo machine and it could stream 720p pretty good. Though a faster machine might help with loading times.

    slikrx, Suplagen: First, who reads the description first, if not ever of the many youtube videos they watch. Second, the HOW TO on the Optane Cache was actually more 'how to' and informative AND sponsored by Seagate but the first shot of a storage company was Samsung, then Intel, then Seagate, then Newegg screenshots of mostly WD (yes I re-watched it). Third, no techquickie is not 'in-depth' but stating 'how to' implies more start-up information. I'll refer back to the Intel Optane. And last, SPONSORED doesn't mean INFOMERCIAL. I'm not calling this an infomercial but it is closer to that than a 'how to'. I just think of this at a lower-level of content than LMG produces. And no, I'm not new here and no, I'm not an idiot (subjective right?) I've been running a home server for 7+ years now on the same hardware, first under Ubuntu 11, then 12, then 14, now Server 2012.

    GiSWiG I didn't ask for or doubt your credentials in home server making or mention it at all for that matter. I'm saying if you expected an actual how-to from techquickie then you must be new because 99% of the time it's just basics as the name of the channel would imply. Meaning they only give suggestive ideas such as operating system and programs to use, hardware to implement, benefits over other similar technologies etc. Some of the videos will be naturally more in depth than others (I don't know how they choose which videos to go more in depth on) but generally I'd say this is the average content of their videos.

    I just re-purposed an old HP Pavilion desktop we bought years and years ago. I installed Debian Linux, set up Plex, Minecraft, Rust and a private web service, upgraded it to 16 GB of RAM and upgraded the old dual core Athlon II X2 to a Phenom II X6 CPU so now it can handle multiple Plex streams while friends are playing on my Rust/Minecraft servers, all simultaneously with no issues. I moved the motherboard over into a newer case with better airflow, upgraded the power supply, and installed a 12TB Western Digital Gold drive for storing our media files. The whole thing is plugged into an UPS along with our router and the media converter owned by our ISP so even when the power flickers or goes out (which happens quite frequently in eastern Kentucky), the internet and everything stays running and I have time to notify people who are using the server at the time and perform a graceful shutdown instead of having everybody randomly disconnected in what could be precarious situations in Rust or Minecraft. The whole thing is managed over SSH so it just sits on a shelf I built for it back in a closet next to the UPS and router and the only time I ever have to touch it is to turn it back on after a power outage, or to clean out the dust once a month.

    If you guys are talking about Net-Neutrality, yes Ajit Pai is FCC chairman. BUT, he is only trying to get rid of it. He doesn't make the final decision. Pai submits his idea to congress. If congress approves, then they write the law as a bill. The bill then gets passed to the senate. The senate can change the bill anyway they want IF they approve it. It then gets passed to Trump for signing IF he wants to, Trump can also veto it. That would kill it. Pai is only lobbying to get rid of Net-Neutrality. SO, since no bill has even reached congress, Trump has nothing to do with it. That's the way our government works.

    I don't use any software, I just let file sharing/samba do the work. I don't have any smart TVs, so I built a smaller desktop in my living room to stream to just browsing the folders remotely, and it let's me browse the web and KZread as well. For my Chromecast devices, I use an app called LocalCast that pulls from the samba shares.

    Yep, I bought 3x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf drives and threw them in a Core 2 Duo machine with 4gb of RAM. I went with UnRAID for the OS because it supports different size drives, requires fewer resources than FreeNAS, and doesn't use ZFS for the filesystem which works best with lots of ECC memory. I have a 120gb SSD for a cache drive to speed up copying files to it as UnRAID file transfers are pretty slow. So far it's been working perfectly and was much easier to set up than what I first attempted - Debian Linux running SnapRAID.

    läderlappen you need to watch for the current when doing that though, you're dealing with only 500mA over USB 2.0 which will not allow you to plug too many storage devices. Even a single HDD will probably suffer from current starvation (they need 1A usually) and might not work at full speed, in that case you really don't want to plug in anything else to work in parallel from a single USB port
