    USB 3.0 cable question

    Quick question - I bought a USB 3.0 External Drive, but currently I only have USB 2.0 Devices (5 dollars more for a little bit of futureproofing). Only thing is, the cable they included is kindof clunky as the end that connects to the computer has 2 USB ports, one for 'additional power'. I've...

    New Mechanical Keyboard

    Damn, 133 dollars that seems really good! Site seems kinda shady though... It looks like the keyboard also has media keys... but on the f-keys. Is there a switch to alternate between the two or something? Tenlesskey is without the numpad right? I don't use the numpad at all... I actually took...

    New Mechanical Keyboard

    Both the keyboards you suggested don't have a backlit keyboard.. Which is a requirement for me.

    New Mechanical Keyboard

    I know there's a bunch of sites and resources, but it's pretty overwhelming when trying to find a specific keyboard so hopefully you guys can help. I've had my current keyboard, a Microsoft Sidewinder x6 for a few years now and the wear and tear is showing. Oddly enough, I also find myself...

    Samsung 830 or 840 or Pro?

    Looks like those were out of Samsung's mouth not the actual reviewer. If it's 30 minutes, it's not going to be worth it for me since at the end of the day I already have some juice left using the stock harddrive. 1 Hour on the otherhand... does seem tempting.

    Samsung 830 or 840 or Pro?

    Have any links for results that the 840 Pro actually increases battery life? If it's just 10 minutes or so, it's not worth it for me.

    Samsung 830 or 840 or Pro?

    Thanks for the link! Even after custom fees and shipping prices, it's still 30 dollars cheaper than it would be if I bought it in Canada. Looks like the 840 Pro isn't that much of a difference unless I'm benchmarking. And just to confirm, the 830 is better than the 840 correct? Reliability...

    Samsung 830 or 840 or Pro?

    I'm looking to update my laptop's conventional harddisk to a SSD. Been looking at the 830 for a while now, but saw that Samsung released 2 new drives - the 840 and 840 Pro. I'll be getting a 256Gb SSD as I can store everything else on a external harddisk on the go. I'll be using the disk...

    4 Drives + Raid Card storage questions

    Researching into it a bit (Emailing them gets nowhere.. they just say it 'works'), I got to this information. http://reviews.ebay.com.au/How-to-Identify-HOST-and-TARGET-SFF-8484-Fanout-Cables?ugid=10000000016502645 It looks like I need 'host' cables like these right...

    Hmm, how do these ones look? http://www.ebay.com/itm/150682012803?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Just got the drives in today and they're blazing fast compared to my WD Green Drives! Just plugged them into the onboard sata ports to use DBAN, but wanted to test file transfer...

    Data backup. Can a setup like this be made??

    I use a program called 'Allwaysync'. It syncs (or you can call it back's up) any folder I want it to to another destination. It can be the whole drive or even over a network. It can even schedule when you want it to backup. Great thing about it is that it can also check which files has been...

    4 Drives + Raid Card storage questions

    Will do. :) Just got the card in and installed it. Didn't boot first time around, so I tried blocking pins 5/6 and it works! :D Installed MegaRAID Storage Manager to check if everything checks out with the card and so far so good... Anything I should 100% check? I just checked the battery...

    4 Drives + Raid Card storage questions

    Odd, he didn't seem to post anything bad... just a bit of showing off. Anyways, I have another question. Currently I have two 1TB drives I'm using to hold my more critical data (Family photos, documents etc). I have them software 'mirrored' (Both have the exact same content) using a program...
