OneDrive. If you get the $100 per year Office 365 subscription you can get well over a TB of space. There's a OneDrive app for any device you can think of that would give you access to the music. Additionally it integrates with Groove Music on Win10/Win Phone/IOS/Android and can stream any song...

Amazing video. Just wish this stuff would work in real life. Unfortunately for something like this with the 3D effect of the projected video it only works from a single viewing point. To make the video they used a third robot that held the camera (you can see the robot base at 3:00 when it shows...

Oh god how will be ever live with Microsoft robbing us blind with that FREE browser. Shit why don't we go even further. That GUI you're using? You don't really need that. Hell lets all go back to the command prompt. Oh Oh Oh even better. Why don't we just put each program we use on a...

Will not work with thunderbolt equipped iMac. Try pressing command+f2 on the iMac to force it to switch to display mode. Also try winkey+p on the PC to switch to extend or mirror mode.

All Dell cards except the h700/800 only support up to 2tb drives (can't confirm myself as all our servers with the h700 only take 2.5" drives). Dell has no plans to change that. myself I can confirm that the sas 5i/r and perc5i and 6i don't support over 2 tb. I also read that Dell is supposed to...

I do this at work with my 27" iMac. It will NOT work with the new models that come with thunderbolt. All you need it a displayport to mini-displayport cable (or mini DP to mini DP depending on what port your video card has). A $5 Monoprice cable will do fine. Once connected you can use...

That explains the Windows Update today. More revoked certs. link

Not quite correct. I have a 5450 at work that I just connected to my iMirror 27" (iMac that's never used) as a third monitor. It works just fine, even shows the Dell logo during startup. So it's possible that the lower end 5 series cards also work fine and it's just the 57 and 58 series cards...

I recently had to initialize a new set of 5 of the 3TB hitachis. The initialization was taking forever and would have taken over two days. What I found was that changing the "Enable Disk Write Cache" setting to Enable (not Auto or Disabled) cut the init time ten times. 6 or 7 hours later it was...

My (work provided) 3gs with 4.3 on it changed fine on Sunday. Then Monday morning it was an hour back. Then at work I was showing it to my friend and it said 8:30am but suddenly switched to 9:31am. It was fine till the evening when it again switched back. Damn annoying.

Got 5 of these myself. I tested a single drive first and got basically the same result alamone had in his compatability thread (my experience at the bottom as well). I have since copied 9TB to the array and done a full bit by bit compare to the original data with no problems what so ever.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if you were having a power issue. When I originaly built my home server I started out with 2 drives in RAID 1. At the time I knew that with a 24 port RAID card I would eventually have alot of drives to power. So I decided to get a 1000W power supply to future...

Glad you got it working.

If you want to further reduce the risk get each of the three drives from a different manufacturer. That should prevent loss due to a firmware or hardware issue that affects a specific model drive. (Like Seagates last year).

I think at this point a screen shot of disk management might help.
