Yea, I usually just keep 3 games installed. The game I'm currently playing, the last game I played, and MS Flight Simulator.

Samsung 980 Pro 2TB is on sale at Best Buy with a $100 discount, . Which is a great price for one of the fastest SSD NVMEs out there.

If you want to save even more, the refurbished one is at $142 discount bringing down the price to $287.

AMD Ryzen 5800X 8 core, 16 Threads is at $80 discount.



There are multiple PC components with different discounts. Worth a buy on some of them, if you're trying to upgrade.

I'm still failing to sell my old stuff! And my Unifi Dream Machine. All still capable, ran triple 1440 with a bit of a whimper and the lowest possible settings... Can't justify more upgrades!

I upgraded to a UDM-Pro SE. It got me some extra POE ports and a bit more oomph if I add some cameras. POE ports were needed so I could better tune wifi - so much interference in the city, so I'm running more APs tuned a bit quieter (also wall-mounted to make the best use of their radiation pattern w/o blasting the neighbors).

ah, it's early access. that's why i didn't know about it.

i could've used that about 2 years ago when i re-did my setup... now i just run a UDM into a 24-port poe switch...

i just wish they at least offered standard protocol support for non-UI cameras, or to use the hdd as a server drive.

Yeah - bit at a time. This is why I was running ethernet a while back. This also lets me run a bit faster on the internet side if I ever care to. SE has the 2.5gb WAN (plus SFP+ WAN) and the power to do full IDS/IPS to ~3.5gb. You've got much more switching power though, and that's worth something. The UDM ethernet ports are 1Gb across all 8. Kinda sad. But easy to plan around.
Their cameras are really hard to snag right now. I'm waiting for one of two to give it a shot in the garage and see if the system works well for me. If it does I'll probably run fiber out with an 8port POE switch in the garage and a few cameras around. Everything out there needs to be rated for lower temp.
If I don't sell this it's at least good backup, and I could travel with it (hotel wifi scares the crap out of me...) or give it to a family member and do remote management... options. I suck at selling stuff so that's likely.

That's still more than 100Mbps on each port assuming you are using all 8 simultaneously though right? That's gotta be at least 2, maybe 3 UHD streams on each port.

For some reason I don't recall UDM existing when I got my gateway and AP. Is that relatively new?

UDM pro was released in feb 2020, standard UDM was late 2019.

i've got a UDM pro, primarily for the rack mount capability over the UDM

And here I thought I was fancy with a 4 port edge router x...

I guess a good thing about wasting $60 on the GTA Trilogy Remaster is that Rockstar decided to gift anyone who did the same, any game of their choice, from their store, for free.

Got myself GTA V Premium Edition for $0.
