    Just built a new home server on WHS 2012 R2. Purchased all new equipment for the server but have a bunch of drives laying about for storage. Since this is my first foray into the "fun" that is home servers, I could use advice on the best setup for storage. WHS 2012 R2 1) OS is on Samsung...

    Need WSE2012 Build Advice

    would a small SSD make a huge difference on the OS drive versus a platter drive? understand that these are faster, and I like the one I have on my main rig, but does it make much of a performance gain on a storage/backup server?

    How does one delete data from bad HDD?

    Just an update... Seems that the problem is that the hard drive is having difficultly getting up to speed which kills the boot. So to get around this... I connect the sata cord to the comp but instead of connecting the power from the comps PSU, I connect an SATA power cord from an IDE/SATA...

    Hard Drive Dead ... need advice

    Yeah, I'm not going to lie. I always seem to suffer from paralysis by analysis when it comes to purchasing hardware. However, I was justifying it in this case since the next gen are right around the corner. I'll look into your options, thanks. Tom

    How does one delete data from bad HDD?

    haha... thermite. I'm not sure that thermite falls under "normal operating conditions" to satisfy the RMA.

    How does one delete data from bad HDD?

    I'd like to send my HD to the manufacturer to get it RMAd (it's still under warranty). However, my bios cannot recognize the drive to access it to write zeros. What are my options?

    Hard Drive Dead ... need advice

    So it appears that my 300gb WD Raptor kicked the bucket. The comp can't recognize it. I've tried multiple tools to access it and because the bios can't read it, the tools can't help. I've also moved it to another comp and connected it via usb/sata adaptor and nothing. So I have a couple...

    Just like the title... which video card design is preferred in the FT02? External Exhaust? or Reference Cooler? I'm looking to upgrade my 9800GTX+ to a 460 and can't decide on either the external exhaust design (which is apparently much louder) or the reference design. I'd prefer the...

    Did anyone get a non-windowed silver version recently with the AP-181s? If so, where. I want to make sure I don't get old stock with the previous fans.
