Jedi2155 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 This was the model that met my criteria as Canon gimped their high end model (no longer has duplex ADF) https://epson.com/For-Work/Printers/Inkjet/WorkForce-Pro-WF-4830-Wireless-All-in-One-Printer-/p/C11CJ05201 No sale so far though.

kuhla Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I don't need duplex and I don't print often so I would prefer something that does not take up much space (which usually means no integrated paper tray which I am OK with). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi2155 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 In that case, then yeah minimal cost works for you. In terms of feature set and capability with compactness, the Canon TR8520/8620 is pretty good but feels like a huge step down compared to what I had prior (MX 860, 892, 922) in losing the duplex ADF. Very important for digitizing a ton of my paperwork (you have a lot as a home owner). https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/products/details/printers/inkjet-multifunction/tr-series-inkjet/pixma-tr8620 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi2155 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 This will be my on-going list of BF 2020 purchases: LG Fridge LG Washer/Dryer + Sidekick Sanus TV Mounts 3x WD 14TB Externals Synology DS1520+ NOD32 Antivirus What else is on the Radar: Samsung G9 49" since my buddy wants to buy my CRG9. Would be a nice upgrade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the verification, I guess I'll skip NOD32 these these. On a side note, I ended up ordering the G9 directly from Samsung, looks like my sister's government discount kicked in, but unfortunately cashback doesn't apply: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please please please do not take any endpoint protection product as an excuse not to have a robust backup methodology for data that you care deeply about. I have directly worked with multiple enterprise grade solutions and even those are not 100% effective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Old school term would be "antivirus product". The reason that term was sort of deprecated in the security industry is because it's just not accurate anymore; too many people associate that with the download-file-hash-lists-and-scan-files routine. Almost any modern security program you would load on a workstation/server has a lot more heuristic-style features now for file behavior, often also monitors actions in memory, script engines and possibly networking too.

Is $699.99 the normal price? That is what I am seeing most places: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1584539-REG/synology_diskstation_ds1520_5_bay_nas.html If you want to keep costs down, the DS920+ seems to have the same CPU, so it should not affect your ability to run lots of extras on it, but just one disk less however it's $150 cheaper: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1570609-REG/synology_diskstation_ds920_4_bay_nas.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi2155 Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I was doing a ton of reading on the DS920+ but its $550 now and dropped to $440 on BF which means the discount was larger on a sale. vs. a $70 discount on the DS1520+. I might just wait to see maybe there's another sale on either units hopefully on Christmas rather than paying full price. We'll see how it goes. I have a lot of things on my plate so its not the highest priority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
