Looks like I have the SATA variant, so hopefully I'll be all set. Thanks.

I shucked a bunch of 4TB Seagate Backup Plus drives years ago and was curious if I could put a new drive in the enclosure and it would just work? Like one of the Exos 18TB drives or something.

I have a standard, regular old 1080p TV, and don't plan on getting a new 4k TV anytime soon. I am thinking of getting a PS4 to play Horizon Zero Dawn. I may or may not play anything else. In this situation, do you think the Pro is worth the $100 extra over the Slim? Thanks

Thanks for the input. I think I'll just stick to 5e. It's only 8 runs anyway, so if I have to do it over again at some point, oh well. None of my gear is better than a gigabit, so I wouldn't be able to utilize the bandwidth of the higher end stuff anyway. As far as the quality of the cable...

I'll ask again just to be sure... Got a new house and want to run network cables. Here are some details: Coming from central location housing the server (bedroom) Runs to two other bedrooms (2 runs each) and living room (4 runs) Potential runs to IP Security Cameras (PoE) (undetermined number...

Figured it out. Found a good article that helped a bunch: http://www.khalidabuhakmeh.com/asp-net-mvc-5-authentication-breakdown-part-deux

I am creating a new asp.net MVC 5 application. Authentication is handled by a third party using smart cards. Once a user is authenticated by the third party, I am sent the user's unique ID (inside the http header) which I match up against my database in order to find relevant information about...

Thanks for the idea. Write caching was already enabled though. I did check the box to eliminate Windows from flushing the buffer since the drive has its own power supply, and once I checked that box, the Asus AI Suite crashed. I thought that was weird, but then realized that part of that AI...

I have two different 3TB USB 3.0 external drives (both Seagate 7200 RPM drives in the shells). I am trying to copy some data from one to the other (brand new). I have them both plugged into the USB 3.0 ports of my desktop, but I am getting horrible speeds. If I copy some data from the first...

I second Handbrake. And yes, you will need to work around the encryption (if there is any) by using one of several programs (including AnyDVD HD as mentioned).

Here is an easy way to get an mkv (or any one of many other mainstream file formats would work too) blu ray compliant and ready to burn. Download BD Rebuilder from jdobbs software (direct download here). It is freeware, and it will do it all for you. You will have to download some other...

Cinavia is a copy-protection scheme that is put on discs. It doesn't matter what method you use to rip a disc containing a cinavia protected audio track, any device that is equipped to detect the cinavia signal will cut the audio within 20 minutes. DVDfab will allow you to create a BDMV-REC...

This may or may not help.

Great. Thanks for the insight. If I have any issues after I get it set up, I'll post back. Thanks again.

OK cool. I only chose VMware because that is the one I always heard of when I heard people speaking of VMs in passing. I am by no means partial to any of the software out there, so if one is better than another, I would certainly like to know. About the VPN... Basically, I want to start my...
