- In the market for a compact server that looks like an old-school CB rig? Cincoze has you covered. (AnandTech)
Up to a 6 core Xeon and 32GB (maybe 64GB) RAM, two 2.5" bays, up to 8 USB ports, 6 gigabit Ethernet ports, and 6 serial ports, plus DVI, DisplayPort, and HDMI.
- If you have Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, and don't want the 1903 update dumped on you without further warning act now to avoid disappointment. (ZDNet)
If you have Windows 10 Home, the best option I know of is to have a cheap laptop with 32GB of eMMC storage and the rest of your data on an SD card. This will make the Windows updater crap out with 100% reliability.
- A 1TB NVMe drive for $105? What's the catch? (Tech Report)
Catch is it's a QLC drive. But it's fast for reads, and usually fast for writes. If you don't run it 100% full, so it has room for a pseudo-SLC cache, it should do fine.
Link also points to a 10TB external drive at Best Buy for $160.

I just picked up Micro Center's Inland Professional m.2 PCIe x4 1TB drive--which is neither DRAMless nor QLC--for $144.
I get the allure of low price--or I'd've gotten a Samsung 970 or something--but there comes a time when some compromises probably just aren't worth it. The Inland claims 3100 Mbps sequential read speed and 570K 4k R/W IOPS.

I'd certainly pay the extra, but $105 for a 1TB PCIe drive is very attractive.

BTW, Wonderduck is getting spammed.

Well, I did say I get the allure of the low price.
Tom's Hardware reviewed it and said it had decent performance, and lower endurance than typical TLC drives, but that that wouldn't normally matter to home users. So I guess don't use this for your ERP or payroll software if you're a big company (or editing 8K video like Other Linus) and you'd probably be OK.
