    Upgraded TO 1440P, Getting Mouse Lag

    After going from a 24" 1080P monitor to a 1440P 27" (Acer K272HUL), I've noticed my mouse seems a bit sluggish, inaccurate and laggy. I'm using the onboard video from my Intel i5-4590 and Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI motherboard, which should be enough to support the resolution according to the specs...

    Storage Pooling: FlexRAID or Other?

    Been trying out StableBit the past few days and it's going pretty well. Does what I want and extremely easy to set up & configure. Will give it another week or two and decide whether to buy a license.

    Storage Pooling: FlexRAID or Other?

    I want to avoid storage spaces because I've heard many horror stories regarding it. StableBit looks like a possibility, thanks for the suggestion.

    Storage Pooling: FlexRAID or Other?

    I'm looking for a storage pool solution and will most likely go with FlexRAID but was wondering if there are any other (better) alternatives. Don't need any redundancy or parity, this will only be used to store media files which are fairly easy to recover. I do want two features: 1. Run on...

    Storage Setup Options Without Separate Server / NAS?

    After doing some more research a proper, separate NAS does seem like the way to go. I think I'll stick with my JBOD setup for now while I still have some unused space and then take the plunge into a proper RAID 5/6 setup. Reading about RAID 5 and URE has me leaning towards RAID 6 now, or am I...

    Storage Setup Options Without Separate Server / NAS?

    Many years late I'm sure but I'm finally looking to set up a RAID. My media collection has grown to span 3 drives now and it's just a hassle to find which show/movie is on which drive. I've been doing some reading on different RAID setups but everything seems to need a ~$500 NAS or a $1000+...

    WD Greens For Storage, What For Everything Else?

    Thanks for the replies, looks like I don't have much to worry about. Regarding reliability of greens, it's not a huge deal for me since nothing on it is irreplaceable, the important stuff is all backed up. Although it seems like the price of reds have gone down a bit so might just go with reds.

    WD Greens For Storage, What For Everything Else?

    I'm planning to upgrade my computer, have a quick question about HDD setup. Right now I have a WD 640GB and two 2TB Greens. The 640GB has my OS and is where downloaded files go, whatever I keep is then moved to the Greens. I plan on getting a SSD for my OS and adding some more drives for...

    Do I Need HDMI?

    I've been looking to buy a new monitor and was wondering do I really need one with a HDMI input. I won't be playing PS3/Xbox or watching Bluray DVDs on this monitor. Is a HDMI input useful for anything else besides that? Thanks

    Did My DVD Drive Die?

    Just tried a TDK DVD-R disc, same errors. Anything else that could cause this problem? If it's of any relevance, I've recently been unplugging and replugging in the SATA and power cables for this drive because I got another hard drive and my motherboard doesn't have enough SATA slots for 4 HDDS...

    Did My DVD Drive Die?

    I've been using Verbatim DVD-Rs. I have a 100 pack and all the other discs burned fine, now I'm down to about the last 10 or so and these errors started happening. Have a pack of TDKs so I'll give those a try. Thanks.

    Did My DVD Drive Die?

    I have a Samsung sh s203b DVD burner but ever since two days ago it would always fail when burning. With Nero, it gives an error message saying something about "the block could not be read." I though it was just Nero so I switched to Cheetah but it also gave a "Logical Block Address Out of...

    Desktop Computer and Wireless Router

    Thanks. Cheaper is always better :) but do you find that the cheaper ones disconnect you from time to time? I don't wanna sacrifice performance for price.
