Currently on the market for new audio hardware, headset and mic. Gaming hardware manufacturers often come with their own software that doesn't run well on Linux.
How do you decide what hardware to buy and you can be sure it will work with your OS?
I am currently looking to get Bluetooth headphones but still am unsure about the mic solution, a fixed mic on the desk seems so uncomfortable and a clip-on mic often also comes with it's own software or Android app.
What audio setup does Lemmy use with their Linux setup?
Hey, I started my homeserver adventure with a raspberry pi and external HDD's via USB, which is the same principle of the adapter you're showing. It worked fine for many years.
It should be possible with a SATA to USB converter, if it's USB 3 (see blue part inside USB connector) it's even better. The one on your picture has multiple HDD connectors while you''ll probably only need the SATA one, be sure to check your old HDD connector. Maybe you can find cheaper or find an old external USB hard drive and take it apart and reuse the convertor.
The speeds will probably be more affected by the limits of the HDD, an SSD would be faster I mean. So consider using that storage for files that don't need a fast transfer rate.
