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.

The Crucial P1 NVMe M.2 SSD is extremely popular because it is one of the most valued for money NVMe M.2 SSD.

The 1TB variant is capable of 2,000 MB/s Read and 1,700 MB/s Write while the 500GB variant is capable of 1,900 MB/s Read and 950 MB/s Write.

My secondary storage will be the SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 2TB Internal SSD. I got it for US$209.99 (S$292) on Amazon. Shipping to Singapore is an additional US$4.71 (S$7).

Unlike the addlink S70 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD which uses NVMe connector to give you speed of up to 3,500 MB/s, this SanDisk Ultra 3D 2TB SSD is slightly slower as it uses SATA III. The advertised read speed is up to 560 MB/s and write speed is up to 530 MB/s.

So I decided to build a new gaming PC. Benjamin helped me put together a list of computer parts to buy based on my budget as I have lost touch with it.

I am getting the RAM, SSD, Case Fans, and Case Fan Filter from Amazon, while the rest I might get from Dynacore next month.

WD 2TB Gaming Drive Works with PlayStation 4 Portable External Hard Drive was on sale during Black Friday 2019 on Amazon.com.

It was retailing for US$59.99 (S$82), and shipping to Singapore is an additional US$5.60 (S$8).

Bought the SanDisk Extreme 128GB A2 MicroSDXC Card from iRoyal Shop on Lazada for S$33.50 during the 11/11 sale. It seems that the price remains the same after 11/11, it is still retailing for S$33.50.

After a week, I realized my order is not progressing. I contacted iRoyal on Lazada Chat. They got back to me pretty quickly. They told me shipping took a little longer as it went out of stock after I bought it.

Minix Neo Storage is a USB-C hub with built-in and non-removable SSD storage. There are two storage capacities available, 120GB and 240GB.

The Minix Neo S1 (120GB) retails for S$120 while the Minix Neo S2 (240GB) retails for S$150. Both can be found on Amconics Online Store on Lazada.

Synology DiskStation DS918+ is Synology’s flagship 4-bay NAS for prosumers and it belongs to the Synology’s Plus Series of NAS.

Announced at Computex 2017 in July 2017 and released in October 2017, it is retailing for S$811 in Singapore at Fuwell.

My Synology DiskStation DS415play is starting to show it’s age when I tried streaming videos using the Plex app on my Apple TV 4K to my television.

Very often, it will show the error, “Your connection to the server is not fast enough to stream this video. Check your Network.“.
