That is normal but understand it does NOT automatically mean the drive was bad, repaired, then put back on the shelf. It could have been returned...
Sure! You don't need server software to turn a PC into a server. Any operating system that allows sharing of drives can become a server.
Well, I am not far behind in years (62) but was lucky to get into computers as an electronics technician in the early 70s.
I think the "if you manually assign a letter" is the key here. I just tried it with two sticks and did NOT manually assign a letter. Between SSD,...
Well, I do have 2 drives in my case, but I consider everything in the case, the system. So when I backup my "system ", I backup all the drives...
Unpacking (decompressing) might as that is done in RAM. But reading the files is a function of the drive and not really a factor here - unless the...
I personally don't like the idea of inserting a toggle switch in the power line. I note the transformer will still be connected to power. I...
And when you signed in, you should go to where you were before - including any open documents, programs and webpages.
Just to make sure we are all on the same page, are you sure it is "hibernation" the computer is going into, and not that it is just going to...
Well, it (math) does not really work that way. 60 is 240% faster than 25. 25 is about 41.7% of 60 (or 58.3% slower). "100% slower" equals a...
Good point but I don't think anyone was suggesting that. That said, conflicts are not normally the problem any these days - typically it just...
I am just curious about the apparent speed (or lack of) issues with Windows Updates and this ext. drive, as compared to an internal drive. How...
Interesting topic. I avoid using USB for external drives so have not experienced this. I cannot find anywhere a way to avoid using the drive with...
If you use an alternative anti-malware solution and have disabled WD in W8, then you don't need the update. But I see no reason not to keep...
As a bit of a side thought, do note there is no color coding "standard" for USB ports that manufacturers must follow. But there is a...
And if they dump into rivers or the ocean, it will eventually affect our environments too. The electric company pays you? You running solar or...
If your entire screen were fuzzy, you MIGHT be able to use the monitor's adjustments to correct. But with just one side going, that tells me the...
Cheaper? Not sure I would use costs ($3 compared to $5) as a discriminating factor. I really like Start8. I don't find its one time cost of $5...
I think it just more MS bashing - perhaps by those unwilling to give up XP. If these vulnerabilities were so...vulnerable, the world would be...
It is exactly like having separate components in a HiFi setup! :) There are certainly some down sides to separates with costs being the...
Separate names with a comma.
