The Lekuo RTL9101 M.2 SATA HBA represents a fundamental shift in M.2 storage expansion, delivering eight SATA 6Gbps ports through native controller architecture rather than port multiplication.
Discover why Intel’s 12th-14th gen CPUs, like the i3-12100, falter in homelab power efficiency, idling at 30W+ with PCIe devices due to a C-state flaw. Meanwhile, the older i9-10850K shines, dropping to 20W at idle.
The Sipeed NanoKVM might just be the poor man's IPMI. This budget-friendly device unlocks remote BIOS access and power control without breaking the bank. Ventoy ISO booting? Absolutely possible. But be warned: input lag and occasional freak-outs come with the territory.
Here's How to Use Intel Arc GPU While Using iGPU SRIOV
The IOCREST PCIe 4.0x1 10GbE NIC brings enterprise-grade networking to consumer desktops using just a single PCIe 4.0x1 lane.
Building an all-flash NAS has always been a dream for enthusiasts, and the IOCREST PCIe 3.0 x2 to 4x NVMe Expander might be the solution to one of the biggest challenges: PCIe lane limitations. The best part? It costs only $30.
It costs me $260 to run a home server, now I am able to run four with even less money.
