    Convert NTFS to exFAT?

    Sorry if I didn't explain it in full. If I copy all of the Windows stuff and then format it won't Windows no longer work? If so I couldn't copy my C drive back over

    SiriusXM Buys Pandora for $3.5 Billion

    My problem with Pandora is it gets stuck on a genre. It will play 10 reggae songs in a row after skipping each one, then move on the country, then old rock. I know I can make multiple stations, but I have a mix because I want a mix, not Sheryl Crow, followed by Natalie Merchant, followed by...

    Advice before I spend (more) money for media storage/streaming

    You need to see what % your cpu is running at when Plex is running. If it's not high then changing cpu's won't help and points to the network not being able to keep up. Even the slowest drives are fast enough for Plex

    CHEAP Plex server hardware suggestions?

    You only need a good processor to transcode on the fly. I use an A6-9500E AMD and with 6 1080P streams I'm at about 20% CPU usage. What I do is use Handbrake to transcode all my stuff ahead of time (queue it up and let it run) then you don't need anything special server wise. My opinion, the...
