  • You don’t have to hack the firmware you just have to use a hacked driver. And what do you mean external transcodes are limited to 720p? I can watch 4K at work streaming from home on Plex. I also use my 1660 super for reencoding using tadarr and literally just tonight I was working on switching from Blue Iris to frigate and using my video card for AI. Also I do believe three is the limit of transcodes you can do on a consumer card not one.



  • The amount of transcodes your video card can do is dependent on the video card but I would suggest Nvidia. I have a 1660 super in my unraid machine and it uses a hacked driver so it can do more than it’s usual number of trans codes which is limited by Nvidia to make you buy quadros. Usually I think it can do three or four I don’t remember but now I really don’t know how many can do I have had 8 simultaneous streams all going outside the house to different devices and the system didn’t break a sweat.











  • I own a computer repair business and unfortunately you probably damaged the hard drive and not the case. Literally just had to tell a customer this same thing yesterday and all they did was just tip over the drive didn’t fall or anything. I’ve seen this numerous times and have even done it myself but fortunately had no important data on the drive that broke. Anyone local unless you’re in a big city won’t be able to take care of that for you you will have to send it in the mail to somebody. I know that prices can vary wildly but expect at least $120 an hour for a process that may take 10 to 15 hours. That will be your only chance to recover your data. There’s a company called Drive savers that I have heard of but have no experience with. You are able to call them and supposedly they will give you a free quote and then you mail your hard drive to them and they don’t charge you if they can’t fix it. You can start there at least you’ll have an idea of what you’re dealing with.
