How big? Might be easier to dump it on an external HDD and just share it around.

Running 2x ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro M.2 NVMe, 500Gb for OS and VMs and a 2Tb for games and documents.
I figured it was worth the gamble on this cheaper brand since everything important is synched/baked up to my server.
AAANNNDD that server is synched to my old NAS.
I’ve been running a couple ADATA Nvme drives since 2019. No issues and they’re fast.
Replace “build” with “buy” if you want.
Even a used ex-business desktop would be faster and cheaper.
Build a basic i5 desktop.
It’ll cost less, be much faster and easier to upgrade; the “NAS” platform is so overrated.
“beer”
I jumped on the NAS bandwagon about 10yrs ago and it really didn’t take that long before I’d reached the limits of the CPU and RAM.
Last year I built an i5 system to replace it and it’s just better. Hardware and softwareb updates are just easier with a desktop. I can run my web server, torrent VM, DB, Plex and file sharing with resources to spare.
If you simply want a device to store/share files, get a NAS, but the second you want to do anything more, build a basic desktop.
Oh and it’s cheaper!
What’s the difference between never connecting your phone to a brand new high tech car and having no tech in an older car?
Definitely, forgot about that, calls do seem to go via the cars factory Bluetooth system. I can unplug my phone mid call and it jumps to the cars own call screen.
So phone number, duration and possibly caller/contact name would be known by the factory headunit and any other information Bluetooth shares with the connect device.
Probably a stupid question…
What about CarPlay and Android Auto? Is that being intercepted by the car manufacturer?
My basic understanding is Android Auto is pretty much an external monitor for your phone.
Edit: speeling irrers
At least I know what they’re spending the 83% price increase on…
Supercollider?.. I just met her!
