Stacking of Zyxel XGS2220 series switches: testing features
Switch stacking technology allows you to combine several physical switches into one virtual switch, combining their switching matrices and simplifying port management from a single stack web interface. One of the most popular functions of the stack is to combine ports from different switches into common lagging groups to get a fault-tolerant network that can withstand the breakdown of N-(N-1) switches. I want to draw attention to the fact that modern Zyxel combines support the connection of up ...
QNAP TS-262 - Little hero of a small office
This model shows that even a small 2-disk desktop NAS can pleasantly surprise with storage capabilities: up to 4 NVME SSDs and up to 16 hard drives when using cards and expansion shelves.

I already described the concept of a modern office in which all employees work remotely and only ...

Terra Master F2-221 2-bay NAS review - an inexpensive solution for the home/SOHO

What do cryptocurrencies and Linux have in common, and why neither "took off"
The cryptocurrency market has collapsed, and let's leave the romance and childhood dreams and admit to ourselves: cryptocurrencies will not be able to break the financial system with banks. We already have an example of excellent free Linux operating systems, which were also predicted for the great future, but failed.
TL;DR

Icy Dock company is the most famous manufacturer of disk cages for HDD and SSD, widely known for its series of metal cases for hard drives ToughArmor, which could drive a car without damaging the drives. Today, when it seems that the world has already completely switched to SSD, and Name M.2 boards are replacing SATA SSDs, there are still reasons for choosing 2.5-inch hard drives. This is a relatively inexpensive volume, which is provided by SATA models with a capacity of 4 TB, and high ...
