What’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions ADATA to you? Is it RAM? Or how about SSDs? Memory perhaps? Any or all of these would be correct, but did you know that ADATA also makes gaming peripherals? Yeah, me neither until today.
Growing up the son of a West Coast Video Manager, Sean-Paul has literally been playing video games for as long as he can remember. Starting as a wee little boy in his room with a 7” black and white TV and his Atari 2600 with Tank Plus, not much has changed, just the room and television have gotten bigger. When not gaming, Sean-Paul is usually cooking, watching anime, or riding his bike around Singapore and dreaming up his next computer build.
Anime Expo wrapped up last week and the announcement fireworks so bright that Uncle Sam would have cried tears of joy. One of the biggest surprises came from a logical but never heard of pairing- Arc System Works and Trigger. The former is best known for the fighting game series Guilty Gear and Blaz Blue, while the latter is an anime production studio that has brought us amazing shows Little Witch Academia and Kill La Kill.
Now the two companies have done the Fusion Dance and are bringing us Kill La Kill the game: IF

With CES now in the rearview mirror, we take the time to go over what caught our attention at this year’s show. There were many cool new gadgets to see, but these are the five that excited us.
Into all things deemed nerdy. I have a deep passion for creating. If I’m not busy managing multiple networks, you’ll find me doing anything from writing, gaming, reading comic, or lifting heavy things and putting them down in a gym.
Last time on The Marduk Report, we took a look at the parts that would go into building a great NAS for less than a grand.
In this second part, we go in depth with setting up the OS, getting the system ready for files along with sharing them, and talk about what was learned from this experience and where it will move to next.
This is a long video, so buckle up.

So we all know that the best weapon against disaster is preparedness. You can take a lot of the sting out of a disaster if you’re already expecting it and have taken necessary steps to mitigate the damage.
Data backups and storage can be seen in much the same way. As much as I wish it was true, HDDs don’t last forever. So to prepare for that time when our drives die, you should be backing up your data. And not just to a single drive you were using five years ago and just found at the bottom of your junk drawer, but using the 321 rule at the very least. If you don’t know what that is, there’s an explanation in the video below.
This video is the first in a two part build log of NAS (network attached storage) where we take a look at the components needed to build one and then do the build itself. It’s pretty incredible the amount of storage one can fit in such a small footprint.
Putting together a build like this is actually fairly simple as CPU performance doesn’t need blisteringly fast parts to do a great job.
What do you think? Would you consider this build for a NAS or do you have something else that you think would work just a little better for a little less? Let me know! And make sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more videos!
