Purchasing Decisions
Before getting an Omnidesk, I was using a S$60 table purchased from Taobao, which surprisingly valued for money since I used it without any issues for three years. One of the major factors that spurred me into looking at a height-adjustable table was to have a better posture as I have to be in front of my monitors for an extended period. This is especially critical in this COVID-19 pandemic since I have to work from home (WFH) for the rest of this year.

Omnidesk was my top pick, as I have heard excellent reviews from my peers that are currently using it. Initially, I was guessing that Omnidesk actually OEM their table and insert their brand name on it, but after clarification with Omnidesk, it turns out that they do not OEM their tables. Omnidesk designs the specifications of their desks while working with a reputable manufacturer to ensure that these desks are built according to the required specifications right down to the wire. This was a major plus point to me as I am not just paying for the brand name of Omnidesk but also the design, quality, and R&D of the desks.

Ugreen has just refreshed their 9-in-1 USB-C hub and this newer version is S$0.66 cheaper than the older version.

The new Ugreen 9-in-1 USB-C hub retails for S$54.35 on Lazada and shipping to Singapore is an additional S$2.20.

Got the 1m Ugreen Braided USB-C to USB-C Cable (100W) from Lazada for S$14.45. Shipping to Singapore is an additional S$2.20.

The Ugreen Braided USB-C to USB-C Cable (100W) is only available in Black with two lengths, 1m and 2m.

Synology DiskStation DS920+ is the highest end 4-bay NAS of the new Synology 2020 Plus series. Other models in the series include the DS420+ (4-bay), DS720+ (2-bay), and DS220+ (2-bay).

DS920+ has an Intel Celeron J4125 with 4GB of DDR4 ram. Intel J4125 is a 4-core 2.0 GHz (burstable to 2.7 GHz) processor.

Synology DDR4 RAM has been available in the market for a few years now and it is mainly targeted at businesses.

But with the release of the Synology DiskStation DS20 Plus series for consumers, you can finally get the DDR4 RAM to go along with your new shiny DS920+, DS720+, DS420+, or DS220+.

Synology DiskStation DS220j is an entry-level NAS from Synology targeting at users who wish to give Synology NAS a try or are new to the NAS world.

Ten years ago, I decided to switch to Synology DiskStation DS210j from D-Link DNS-323 and I have never looked back since.

WD Red has always been my first choice when it comes to hard drives for NAS.

But my experience with WD Red 3TB for my Synology DS918+ has been terrible.
