LOVE This feature. Can't wait to add it to my @unraid.net server
Internal Boot is on the way! We’re adding more ways to launch Unraid. 🚀
Ed is showing off the new feature (and crucially, how to partition so you don't waste a whole NVMe doing it).

I love when people tell me 'they grew up' with me when I was at Xbox. It's an honor that I was able to be a small part of their early video gaming years.

Some sad news. We lost Albert Penello last week.
- Albert was a pillar of gaming at Microsoft and Amazon, a brilliant, trusted voice in our industry, a loyal friend, and most importantly a husband and father who was profoundly loved by his wife, Dara and daughter, Lily.
