Other motherboards can be harder to come by and are usually close to their original MSRP.
Your other option is to get an Arc GPU. It will blow away the 10400 and 7500.
hello, first of all thank you for the reply.
I have a couple of questions to see if you can help me please
- if i keep my i5-7500 and buy an Intel Arc A380 Challenger 6gb (95,000 CLP = around 100 USD) will it be worth it ? won't it make some kind of bottleneck or something ? (i have a MSI B250M PRO-VH motherboard)
- the i5 10400 doesn't come with a motherboard, it would just be the CPU and nothing else, so it's not worth it ?
- How recommendable are the video surveillance hdd's? like the Skyhawk, WD Purple, etc. to keep my library of movies, shows and that ? it turns out that the NAS or desktop hdds are too expensive these days and the CCTV ones are quite cheap and that is why I asking to see if it would be recommendable or its better to save for a NAS hdd or even a desktop HDD.
sorry for so many questions and thank you in advance for the information
You should avoid disks with SMR technology as they are very bad with random writes. So in case you use Raid/ZFS raid z1/z2 avoid any SMR.
I use Seagate Exos X - X20 20TB drives which are quite cheep on a per gb price.
How much data are you looking to store?
hello,
Honestly, I plan to increase and maintain as much storage as possible, so far I'm at 12TB (many small and big hdds) and my idea is maybe, to get to 18 or more tb's if possible, get more and more storage.
