Holy crap. 14GB? That's probably more than I need in my entire lifetime. 
You've given me a lot to think about.

Get a fair bit more than whatever you think you need now. You'll end up using it.

It adds up though - remember that 15 minutes of 4K is roughly 15GB, so depends on how high resolution you go on the GoPro.

I think my GoPro will explode recording in 4K. I had to upgrade from a 64GB MicroSD to a 256GB. Talk about a tough lesson.

Portable SSDs are also incredibly unreliable. For some reason my mom likes using them for her business and we found out the hard way that:
1. Avoid Samsung
2. SSD Data is usually irrecoverable. They attempted and failed. We went to two other places and also failed.
3. Portable SSDs are susceptible to data loss/failure.

Anything portable is going to be more susceptible to breakage/failure. Also, especially for business, 3-2-1 rule applies!
EDIT: Should also say... SSD data is recoverable but very few places will do it as it takes a lot of equipment and expertise. Like ship it out to the US and wait and pay five figures in USD.

Dude selling a wack load of mining GPU's including 3090's for $750 each. 24 gigs of vram would be good for an AI build. Could run deepseek 32b locally. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...89455237199881

Are powerline adapters still a thing?
I need to pick one up but when I looked up top rated ones, it seems Wirecutters top pick from April 2024 is a TP-Link unit from mid 2016 (TP-Link AV2000 Powerline Adapter (TL-PA9020P KIT)). https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...etworking-kit/

I am totally talking out of my a$$ as a lay person / consumer, but I think powerline networking has largely been supplanted by mesh networks in the consumer space. With mesh, you have less fuss, WiFi being able to connect a far larger number of devices, faster data transfer speed, and you just can't beat the convenience.
(That said, I would personally say powerline networking is generally more reliable if the electrical wiring at your home isn't all that noisy.)
If you insist on, or have specific needs for a powerline networking setup, I don't think it is disasterous to go with the TP Link unit you mentioned. It is cheap, and it is still capable of doing Gigabit ethernet, so it is more than enough for most home Internet connections.

This will be for a PC and NAS so I figured powerline would be best. I'll take a look at some mesh systems though, I dont necessarily need the extra wifi/APs.

I need to build a new PC (last time I did this, was when NCIX was still around).
Where is everyone buying their parts these days?

| Memory Express and Canada Computers?
I generally prefer ME myself bcos I find their staff to be friendlier. That said, they also tend to fall right into the tech geek stereotype too lol~ But I am absolutely fine with that. In fact, I'd prefer that lol~

What's a good mesh system to try out? Various TP-Link Deco lines seem pretty popular.
On a laptop I tested Wifi, powerline, powerline, Wifi.
For reference, my wired desktop gets almost 1Gbps down and 180 Mbps up.

If you can't hardwire your APs, then get at least a tri-band mesh system. The third band is dedicated specifically for wireless uplink to the other mesh APs.

What do you guys use for remote desktop these days? I used to use VNC until Windows deliberately broke it. I've been using regular RDP for a while but having it take over the session is really annoying so I want something that doesn't lock the local display.
