At Express IT Tech Tips, I like to give you real world reviews, tips and tricks for devices and applications. Open source software and home labs.
Gaming content there will be plenty of that as lets be honest it sits alongside at lot of these passions.
I'm a real world proper tech head who loves gaming and always wants the latest and greatest gadgets money permitting.
It totally drives my family nuts which is why I probably enjoy it so much.
I will cover bargains as well, with Home labbing you tend to find the best value in older equipment rather than the latest technology.
You will see variety on this channel, I am planning to share some of the knowledge I have gained over the years but most importantly to build and help a community.

It works on TV for media?
You could make it do that sure as long as your tv supports sizes this high
I wish I could hear this because it might be helpful but that music suckz and so do your sound effects.
How to do this on Western Digital NAS drive?
If your on about the western digital self contained Nas drives that run my cloud or whatever it’s called these days I don’t think you will find a way to run this. You can run it on something else and then just point to the Nas share though
Your accent is the worst.
My nice British accent 😂
Can we use this on smart TV?
Yes you can if the tv supports UVC protocol. A lot of smart TVs will support it but always check your user manual
That little eye icon in the top right will blur your figures in case you need to screen record or take a snapshot :). Im trying to find something to replace Microsoft Money 2004. Actual budget is the closest i have found so far but i don't do budgeting as such. Ive been sticking a whole (future) months transactions in so it shows me whats left. I've got a bit of learning to do with AA to see if I can get it to fit my needs.
Good tip that, Microsoft money now that’s a blast from the past there
@@ExpressITTechTips Yup. The issue is that I still havent found anything thats like it. Actual Budget wont let me enter future transactions into the register if they are part of a recurring bill, for instance I do a weekly shop so I set a schedule up for 'every week on the next monday' but it only lets me put the very next transaction in then I have to wait until the dates past before I can enter the next one :(
@@markloughtonUK yeah that is the downside. It does seem to have active development so might be worth noting the requirement on their GitHub
Any good how to aricals on the net?
Should be linked in the description
I did this every time I try to start cloud recovery keeps on saying set up secure or something or another I set it up and then it keeps asking me the same question. I just threw the thing in the drawer and said f### it
Amazon Prime day offer just £75. cant get any better for that price :)
Good spot yeah cracking deal 😁
Nice video! I would like also a video about configuring cloud-init with CLI, since it seems a very ploblematic, thank you!
Brill sure I’ll get that on my backlog
Does it fit the ps portal?
Certainly does
@@ExpressITTechTipssorry I meant the ps pulse explore
No idea what that is

Thank you very much sir....... Great video by the way!
Thanks and welcome
Great video! I just subscribed to your channel. Question: I've got a lot of old hdds with data on them. Some have backed up volumes from my spare laptop as well. What's the best way to move the data from all these smaller drives over to the new 20TB drive I've just bought? I can do a direct drop and drag of a lot of the files but the ones that have backed up OS's on them I can't do that without losing information. Cheers
Probably something like clonezilla and backup to an image file. You could use mini tool here to segregate some partitions then clonezilla to back up each os disk to your 20tb
gparted
Is a good tool that but doesn’t have all the features that the pro version of this has for example
160 $$$$ a lot of moneyy$$$
For lifetime though
You can check out Mini Tool Partition Wizard 12.8 here - www.partitionwizard.com/?ExpressITTechTips_pw_influencer&
Really helpful video, thanks. I'm torn between one of these and the USB powered One Touch to use as a USB backup drive for my Synology NAS. I was considering the non-HUB as there is a 5TB version (my NAS is 3TB (RAID 2x3TB drives), but I'm now wondering if the 8TB version of this would be better as I can also keep a local backup of my Google Drive on it. Bit of budget creep though as I'm now looking at spending £150... Which would you say is better suited given a weekly backup schedule? Does the Hub version consume much power when idle?
Hub version doesn’t appear to consume much power to be honest. I used mine for exactly that use case obviously more space means it’s easier to backup more. It really depends on what works for you if you have power near by it’s better to have a powered one than a port powered device for sure
Awesome detailed review, thanks a lot
I am new to Proxmox, can somebody tell me what's the benefit of using that Ubuntu Image over Ubuntu Server image and also why not creating VM in GUI with wizard?
The main benefit to this approach is scale. If you spin up multiple vms then this approach is great for a kubernetes cluster for example. For just a standard vm I would just use the wizard
4 notes: 1 your voice vs the song made it harder to hear what you were saying in the beginning. 2: Increase the size of what you are recording, it was very difficult to read(both the site and the code, and even after you scaled it up). If I was watching on my phone, the text would be impossible to see. 3: Just going through the intro page felt unnecessary/at minimum took too long. If you want to cover all of the topics on the website, it may be better just to use it as a checklist of what to show off during the demo portion. 4: The sound effects at the beginning were a bit loud, which made them even more obnoxious than they already were..
Thanks for the feedback will take it onboard
I jus ordered 20 TB seagate One Touch HDD but when i saw 18 TB i emidiately returned it and jus canceled return after seeing yr review why we get 2TB less 😂
Scaling factor im afraid manufacturers should make it clearer for those of us not in IT
BRO YOU SAVED ME WITH CLOUDFLARE FULL SSL TIP!!! VERY VERY VERY THANKS!
Glad I could help
When you're watching KZread, if you want to get rid of the grey bars at the top and bottom, turn off ambient mode. While playing a video, tap the cog icon, then additional settings, then disable ambient mode. The bars should then be completely black.
Ah great tip I’ll give that a try if it’s really something that stupid I’m going to kick myself 😂
Hey mate great video, i have purchased a 2230 2tb ssd to upgrade the 512gb on my legion go but im still waiting on my extender bracket to arrive but for the mean time what would be the best way to check the new ssd in case it was faulty could i check it the way you did to see if the legion go picks it up or not
Yeah you can absolutely do it that way. But to test it for now
@ExpressITTechTips yeah know worries thanks for that, just wanted to check to see if the things not faulty before doing everything else
Great vid, grey bars instead of black bars when fullscreened is a huge dealbreaker for me, even if it was an LCD screen that would drive me crazy.
I’ve only noticed it on certain things I’m trying to narrow down exactly what causes it as I get deep blacks on some videos but not on others. Very weird
Hi! Am I stuck with the disk size I set when I created the template? How can I use the template to create a new VM with a disk size of 100GB for example?
before you boot the VM in the Gui under hardware select the disk and disk actions and resize, if you have already booted the VM you may need to resize the disk in the distro and an partitions that have been created
Hi! How's the performance? Are you still using it til now? Do you still recommend it? Thanks!
Hi yes still using the actual drive I actually shucked it in the end and installed it in a NAS but the drive still works perfectly
@@ExpressITTechTips nice! Thanks for the answer. But was there any bad experience with it?
@@TheSheriffCyclery none at all no the included software is a bit naff but that’s the usual case with these drives everything else was fine. I’ve seen people reporting overheating but I ran mine on top of the server originally in a non ventilated server rack with no problems for months
@@ExpressITTechTips thank you! 🤘
The 250W Prime is TRASH. Mine arrived a brick, new in the box. Wouldn't even hard reset! When a flagship product arrives DOA new in the box, it gets a WELL EARNED ***DO NOT BUY.*** Get the 737 instead. I've owned both, and the 737 has been flawless and exceeded expectations from day 1.
🤣
my 737 turned to crap after a year of owning it. Turns off once it reaches the 60-79% charge left
I purchased this but was not able to reach the max output, max I reached was 90
What device did you have this plugged into to reach 90
@@ExpressITTechTips Samsung s23
Interestingly the s23 only actually supports a max of 45w charge input. www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s23-charging-speed-3287167/ If also noted that apparently to even reach those speeds the screen may need to be off
This product comes with lots of packaging and having bought one I know why. It's not durable. It's portable but if you put in your back pack for meetings on a daily basis it lasts 6 weeks, with absolutely no scratches. I have since bought the Viewsonic VG1655 and it's bullet proof.
Really I’ve taken mine out on a few roadtrips now in just a ruck sack against my laptop in the bag and had no problems did it completely fail then or bend ?
@@ExpressITTechTips one day I took it out and I noticed a dot at the top, next day the dot became a triangle, within one week half the display didn't show. The service centre said the display was leaking. But they don't repair those anyway, they're throw away. I bought because their website shows being loaded into a back pack. I have Tumi backpack and only use taxi for meetings. So it was travelling in luxury.
That’s a real shame good to know mines been about a bit with no issues thus far but I’ll keep an eye out on it
This review convinced me to buy! Overly positive reviews across the board I’m going overseas and bringing multiple devices. I’ll see if the price pays off
Good stuff you won’t regret your purchase I’m sure. It holds up really well this device I’m just waiting to get the base station
That 2230 ssd will it overheat ? I really wish you can make video that can test the ssd temp. Great video anyway. I didnt know you can use 2230. I read some on reddit, people experienced overheat on that ssd. So im kinda confuse here and there.
No over heating for me so far I can monitor it with software tools. Most of the overheat issues I’ve seen with portable gaming solutions this far is when people have found ways to jerry rig a 2280 sized nvme drive in our used that combination with a gen 4 drive
@@ExpressITTechTips so you say 2230 is good to use in lego and 2280 can possibly cause over heating in the device ?
That’s correct yes
@@ExpressITTechTips thanks
Congrats on the 1K and thanks.
Mine want let me do it keep saying enable cloud recover
That usually a sign that your copy might have failed.
Nice - hadn't heard of Vikunja. Been running self-hosted Wekan and NextCloud Deck for fully open source Kanban. Both very good. Host them both with Docker Compose.
It’s been a while since I’ve used NextCloud I need to get back on that in once I’ve got my Homelab sorted again
Avoid this. It's a trojan.
It really isn’t you will get false positives from software as it deploys
@@ExpressITTechTips Nope. A trojan Phonzy that launches several other known trojans, hackertools, backdoors, ... medicat is just cr*p.
@@ExpressITTechTips Before it deploys! A trojan. I don't trust this medicat nor many other rescue boot usb soft out there. Make your own.
thanks, we are in 2024 now, need more than 128 GB
100% but for 1080p it still kinda works. Ill be looking at the elgato new offerings very soon
Great guide! Was going to sub anyway, but definitely couldn't resist seeing I would be #1000 :D
Legend Sir ! Thank you :)
Thank you.
Thank you very much for the video. I am from Valencia (Spain) and it is the 2nd 7950X3D that I have just bought (about to return it for another), and I have to say after more than 25 years assembling my computers, with different platforms and sockets, that when you buy something high range and/or quality, you can't go wrong, let me explain, and this goes for the folks at AMD. If you manufacture the processors on wafers, which are like giant 1.5 meter (59") cookies, you can search for it on Google, and it is assumed that the ones in the center have good Silicon and that they are known as Pata Negra, and according to They go to the outside of the wafer, the Silicon is getting worse, not to mention that the ones in the corners of the wafers are totally unstable, yes, they work but with Expo1 or 2 and that's it, don't try to touch anything in the Bios, with temperatures very high and unstable, as soon as you put the Curve Optimizer in All Cores -5mV for example and try to run it through Cinebench, it is sure to give you a blue screen (that is, if it starts). Negative from -25 to -30, and you get the Cinebench without any blue screen, with a very high score, and on top of that good temperatures... And I think there is NO right to that of the Silicon Lottery, since they are worth exactly the same I am not an AMD SRS player, I pay for something expensive and good, not expensive and....luck with the Silicon. What the AMD srs should do is to discard the ones on the corners of the wafer, but since it wastes a lot of money, I'm going to give you another advice,...put them on sale but with the name 7950X3DBD, the nomenclature "BD" comes from Bios Defaul, and of course sell them cheaper. No matter how much you spend more than $1000 on components such as Motherboard, GPU, and other lots of money on PSU, Ram, etc. If you then put on a microphone that turned out bad, what's the point of putting on all the best? Example: Here in Spain we have and sell something very delicious to eat called Jamó Serrano, which specifically comes from the cured hind leg of the pig. Well, you have the normal Serrano Ham, and it is the cheapest and it is possible that out of every 100, 5 of them will be sold, that is why they have that price. Then you have other ones raised with acorns that are more expensive and harder to find a salty one. But then you have one called Jamón de Jabugo which is without a doubt the best and most expensive, and I assure you that NONE of it comes out salty. Well, that's what I mean, sers. from AMD, you are selling Jamón Serrano as if it were from Jabugo.
Damn sorry you have had so many issues since I’ve turned to the no 3d cached version of the 7950 I’ve had zero issues. It seems to be the 3d cached versions and this one in particular with all the problems such a shame as well as it could be such a great cpu
Get a ps5
great achievement that man !
Good Review, would be good to see your take on the 17 inch one as that has 1440p from what i read
As soon as I receive it I’ll give my thoughts I did consider the one that sticks to the back of a laptop a bit like the razer solution a few years back
I loved the Oasis I hope they are bringing out a new one. Thank you for the video.
Same from a reading perspective it’s very nice unfortunately they have discontinued the oasis range 😕
