BlueLineSwinger, I had meant to note above that, as strange as it sounds, the Spectrum supplied modems do not allow access to event logs (via login to IP address). This is pretty frustrating and renders one even more reliant on Spectrum's customer service and response times. I should have been...

Thank you both for your prompt reply. I am concerned about water ingress because we had a rainstorm and the coax from telephone pole terminates into a splitter inside a plastic box affixed to the side of the home before this coax run terminates inside the garage where the modem is located. I...

Hello, I'm at my wits' end and need some helpful advise from an experienced networking pro. I have Spectrum 200 mbps service and there are no other viable alternatives here at the house at which we've lived for 8 years. Nothing but constant problems. I've traded out modems 4 times, tried...

Hi, It's been 5 years since I last built a pc and loaded Windows. My son and I just finished building his gaming PC and want to load Win10 tomorrow. It has a single 1TB M2 SDD for OS, utilities, game downloads, MS Office and personal files. If I load Windows 10 from a bootable USB stick, will...

I probably have the terminology wrong. I was thinking of creating multiple partitions. I'm just using one.

OK. I have hardwood floor. I'll probably elevate on pedestal at some point.

Thanks for your reply. I decided to remove the cage entirely and insert it in the 5.25" bay on top via adapter.

Thanks for your feedback. I decided not to partition the disk.

Thanks to all who took the time to replied. I used syncback with success. Thanks

Hi, I just built a new PC and want to transfer data files (docs, pics, video, etc.) from an old 1 TB HDD (sata III) to a new 4 TB HDD (sata III). The new disk will not have any partitions but the old HDD has several partitions, and I do not want to maintain these partitions...I just want...

Hi, Do you recommend "basic" or "dynamic" volume/partition method in Windows 10? I plan to format a new 4TB HDD to be used for 3 purposes: 1. An secondary disk for windows paging file. Size = 3xRAM = 50 GB 2. data drive (mydocs, music, video, photo, downloads, etc.) ~3.45 GB 3. space...

Hi, I'm building a new PC this week and would appreciate feedback from those experienced with this R5 case on a few configuration choices. The parts: - Asus Z170-A 1151 mobo - i7-6700K CPU with Scythe Ninja 4 cooler - 2x8 DDR4 TridentZ - EVGA 980 TI Hybrid (AIO) pci-e 16x (10.5"...

Tiberian, thanks for the clarity in addressing my Qs. I appreciate your feedback and the others who took the time to respond. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. My question was not focused on the large HDD for data, but rather on the fast SSD for win10 and the applications. If one needed to use one disk for both operating system and applications (not data), it used to be "best practice" to make two partitions on this disk; one for...

Thanks to all for replying. Much appreciated. My conclusion is that the general theme is KISS, which is generally always a good thing. I would like to seek clarification about MrGuvernment's suggestion below: Can someone help me understand this a little better. It sounds like it is a thing...
