I just got the M.2 version of the Samsung 500GB 850 Evo SSD and put it in my computer but it wont show up at all, not in the device manager and not even in the bios. I updated the bios and went to storage configuration and set it to force M.2 but 2 of my SATA drives vanished and the M.2 drive...

The first all-optical permanent on-chip memory has been developed. This is an important step on the way towards optical computers. Phase change materials that change their optical properties depending on the arrangement of the atoms allow for the storage of several bits in a single cell...

Maybe someone will figure out how to make this work in an iPod Classic.

This is all really good advice people. Thanks. my current strategy is storing most of my valuable data on a ZFS file server (as I have already stated through out this post) while storing the rest on external USB drives with RAID 1 in a fireproof file cabinet. Now I just need to know what...

You can buy a used 40' shipping container for $2,000. I know someone who does concrete. I don't think it will be as expensive as you think.

HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS! Please tell me more. I thought I was going to have to build complete independent servers. About 75TB currently while accounting for an additional 25TB/year of new data. That was already the idea. I am going to build a climate controlled fireproof, EMP...

I have one 4U server and I want to build 5 more. One for videos. One for my porn. One for misc files and 2 backup servers using the Seagate 8TB archive drives. I need a UPS for these servers, and would like to know how\where I can buy used servers and equipment in good condition that is...

My current server just sits on a shelf and is connected to my PC through my router. I am already using ZFS for my server.

This is a question for the experts. I have slowly been growing my collection of server equipment and I want to put together a plan of what I need to consolidate and protect my data. So far I have one file server that I have been using for my music and I have acquired 3 server racks that had 2 1U...

With two of those I may soon finally after all these years have a media player that can hold all my music.

I am worried about those Toshiba results. I bought 16 of the 5TB drives when they were last on sale.

Another reason you may not have considered. I know that when it comes to large companies, many operate like a bureaucracy with so many people in higher levels of management making decisions and overriding those of others below them to a point that almost seems idiotic to the employees. Without...

I have two friends who have asked me to build them a new computer and so I seek advice. Build 1 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Games (WoW, Hearthstone), Photoshop, MS Office, Web design, streaming (Netflix, torrent, Hulu, Prime, Youtube). 2) What's your budget? $700-$800 MAX 3)...

Apple Sucks!

This may be a good motherboard to use if you are doing a workstation/gaming build. It supports dual Xeon's and has SLI/Crossfire support but may be a little dated. There is a Newer version but both motherboards are more than $500.
