VLC does not have that option. But setting it in the driver panel seems to be an improvement. Thanks to both of you.

I have an older system 3rd generation I5 processor. GTX 1030 graphics card. And a 4K TV being used for output. 32 bit Windows 7. If I use BeyondTV the video is great. But I lose the captions. When I use VLC 3.0.8 on VOB files or OTA HD files recorded by BeyondTV, the video has enough tearing...

I just bought 1. The $20 off using Holiday19 made it a good deal for me.

I use EZgig to copy our OS drive. Once a month seems to be enough. For data files I use a batch file and XCopy and PKZip each with a long string of parameters to backup our data. USB3 and 100Mbps are fast enough that internal or external is not important. I do an automatic backup to internal...

WD 4 years old. Green.

I came home yesterday at about 3pm. Checked the site and the $130 deal was alive, but not in stores. Limit 1. Bought one on my credit card. Bought one on Paypal. They will be delivered by 12/5. I had just purchased 4 for $160 a couple days ago. As soon as I transferred my data from a 4TB drive...

The cost of hard drives would only be $600. I would pay the $600. But you might have a local ISP what would do the work for you for that price.

We own a small business. We have a nice solution. We simply call our office and have someone there (our daughter) do what needs to be done with the data. If you really need access to 3-4TB of data, I would suggest there is no way to download that data from the could to your computer in a...

If you are smart, you will not use any type of RAID. At most one drive will spin up for each media stream. So there will be no vibration. I use WD 4TB green drives. They seem to last a long time with the light loads that media cause.

I have lost more data due to my stupidity than to HDD/SSD defects. I no longer test my drives. A quick format and I am good to go.

It looks like the warranty was 1 year. And the tech let it sit about for the first half of the year. The problem is that the tech is the original purchaser. I don't know why anyone would keep a drive in stock for 6 months.

Information does not make one educated. I use a certain brand and size of power supply, because I have a history of them working. They might not be available - it has been a long time since I purchased a power supply. For most consumers the cost difference between power supplies may be...

As others have said - you need a backup more than a RAID. Cost is a complex issue. For business: labor costs dwarf parts costs. If I have a hard drive fail, I have $500/hour in lost business income until we get it fixed. We used to use 2TB hard drives before we moved to SSDs. But our backups...

I would put put it into a system with a IDE connector. Then copy the files to a SATA drive. Lacking such a system I would buy an external IDE case and try to copy the data.

If this is only to allow re-installing windows, Just get a 4TB hard drive, back up to it, and then re-install windows. If you want to keep a current backup, get a USB3 case and put a 4TB drive in it. --- We backup to 3 hard drives every night. 2 are internal. One is external. From time to...
