In reply to Emma Frost @ RabattCode Pro. The memory and storage crisis will not happen for too long. Once the AI bubble bursts (hopefully by 2028), prices for these will basically crash down back to normal prices or even be cheaper then how they were in 2024. Same with the GPU crisis during 2021, people thought that this will happen for a long time, but then during mid-2022, prices for GPUs unexpectedly crashed down as well.

Need to tell you something important about this Txbench. Although you said to simply click on its title for a “free copy”, when I clicked on it, this website appears not to work anymore or maybe it is the wrong link. In fact a couple times when I tried, this website even redirected me to a tech support scam and scareware link where I got a false warning that my “Windows system is damaged”, and that I had to call a fake phone number to fix it. It even wanted to download some files. I completely blocked it though and pressed Alt + F4, but other users who might not know many think their system got infected. Because of this, may you please fix the link, or maybe upload a copy of Txbench somewhere else, as Txbench is very useful for even secure erasing SSDs and viewing detailed SMART information status. I could not find any other benchmark utility that could do what Txbench does. Even if you can not though, please still remove the clickable link for Txbench as this website might mislead others to a false scareware website. Thank you so much!

Comment on Building a Home Server – The Complete Guide by jack hick

That mention of the Acer Aspire Revo running a humble Atom 330 to transcode media for a PS3 brings back some serious nostalgia! It’s a great reality check on how easy it is to over-engineer a home server when older desktop parts collecting dust are often more than capable of serving files and streaming video.
In my own homelab experience, I fell into that exact trap early on. I started with a repurposed consumer quad-core chip very similar to that Phenom II build, and for pure media duties, it never skipped a beat. It wasn’t until my workloads expanded from streaming movies into running dense virtualization environments—juggling multiple test databases, game servers, and container stacks—that I actually needed enterprise muscle like a 32-core Xeon running at 2.5GHz with 20GT/s UPI to manage thread scheduling properly. For a dedicated media hub, though, high-end server silicon is totally unnecessary, and reusing old parts is both budget-friendly and rewarding.
Do you still find Windows Server 2012 Essentials holds up well for your storage pool, or have you eventually transitioned the rig over to something like Linux or TrueNAS?
