Hi everyone, I thought of sharing this picture today. It represents my current LAN networking setup: One of the next improvements I want to do is install a second dual 2.5gbit/s PCI Express card. This will be done once I receive a replacement Gigabyte GeForce 1030 Graphics Card, as the current one failed and the replacement is on its way back. This will free up a PCI Express slot and will allow me to install another 2.5gbit/s network card. With…
Hi everyone, Today, we will see a second product essential to my 2.5gbit/s network conversion. This product is the ULT-WIIQ USB 3.0 to 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 LAN Network Adapter Cable. As the name suggests, it is a USB 3.0 to 2.5gbit LAN adapter. These adapters are useful for use on laptops, or on machines where we do not have an available PCI Express slot to install one of those cards, like the IOCREST PCI Express x1 to Dual 2.5gbit LAN…
Hi everyone, Today, we’ll start one of the products I got to upgrade my home network to 2.5gbit/s speeds. It is the IOCREST PCI Express x1 to Dual 2.5gbit/s LAN Card, using 2 Realtek RTL8125B chipset. The reason for this upgrade is that my current ISP (Internet Service Provider) company provided me with a new modem to replace my previous one which had a single Gigabit Ethernet port. The new modem is basically the same, except that it now uses…

Hi everyone, This weekend, I went ahead and upgraded my home network. The performed upgrades included: For the above reasons, my website experienced some downtime over the weekend while these changes were performed. However, now that for the most part, this upgrade is complete, my website should remain stable. On the next few days, I’ll post about some products I got to make this upgrade happen. Be on the lookout for them. Until the next time! Post Views: 7
Hi everyone, Today, we will be seeing the HyperX Alloy Core RGB Wired USB keyboard. This is a keyboard that is targeted to “gamers”, but in reality, it is suited for general use. This keyboard is wired, which means that it will work better than a wireless keyboard where sometimes interference can cause keystrokes to not be registered properly, and you don’t have to change or recharge the battery, since it is powered by the same USB cable. The keyboard…

Hi everyone, In this post, I will be showing you the CableCC / CY M.2 Key A+E PCI Express to dual SATA adapter. This adapter is a similar product from the controller we saw yesterday, with a different form factor and controller chip. This model is made to fit into the Wi-Fi M.2 slot that usually has an A+E key on modern motherboards, whereas yesterday’s post was about a Mini PCI Express version. Today’s model also uses a JMicron JMB582…
Hi everyone, In this post, I will be showing you the CableCC / CY Mini PCI Express to dual SATA adapter. As I have mentioned in other posts, I’m running Windows inside Linux by using QEMU/KVM. I try to pass most of the hardware by passing through their PCI Express devices, which should theoretically give better performance than virtualizing. The reason to add a PCI Express SATA adapter has to do with this, so that I don’t have to virtualize…
Hi everyone, Today, we will be seeing an interesting Mini PCI-Express Expansion Card that adds 2 USB 3.0 headers to a machine. When I say “interesting”, it is due to the fact that this is a very small PCI Express card. Usually, the Mini PCI Express slot in machines is used for a Wi-Fi card, but some companies manufacture other types of peripherals, and this is one of them. Mini PCI Express slots is seen on most laptops before the…
