    Sorry for asking a stupid question... but the firmware of what? The Hard drives? I am using the on board controller, the motherboard is a Gigabyte x58a-ud7. It is only one of the two drives, and I already know which one because at start-up the list of drives stops when it reaches that one...

    Clicking noise from hard drive, can't boot...

    Hi, I recently bought 2 Hitachi 5k300 3TB hard drives, and installed them in RAID1. In a couple of occasions in the last week when I start up the computer a clicking noise comes from the HDD and the boot process stops at the point when hard drives are listed. Restarting one more time...

    Massively confused by RAID and 3TB HDDs...

    Sorry if I ask the obvious... but what does the GPT vs. MBR imply in a practical level? I will be using the whole volume as a single partition, if that is the issue... Should I create the raid volume on my current system (how?) and then install the OS on the new ssd drive, indicating at the...

    List of freeware software for multi-display setups..

    So, after thinking about it for a few years I finally bit the bullet and just got a Dell 3011. My previous monitor was (in fact is, the 30" is still in its box) a Dell 2405. Now I would like to use the 24" in portrait mode next to the 30", and I would also like the possibility of moving...

    Very High HDD temperatures... any solution?

    The fan is a gentle typhoon, and it's spinning at 1450 RPM. It's the same kind of fan I am using as exhaust. However the airflow seems very limited (placing my hand in front of it). Will removing the filter translate in a horrible amount of dust inside the case?

    Very High HDD temperatures... any solution?

    Last year I built a computer using the ABS Black Pearl Case, which uses Lian-Li style hard drive cages, located at the bottom of the case. The cages are in front of the only intake fan, but the airflow seems very low. The intake fan has a mesh dust filter and a metal casing, and the hard drive...

    Seasonic X Series: X-750 Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Seems almost impossible to find... Newegg had it in stock for just a few hours... The x650 seems easier to find. Is it significantly different apart from lower wattage?
