I have a spare Dell PowerVault 745n that works fine with the original identical 80gb drives. I am trying to use some random drives that I have so I can make a raid 5 array. I know that it will only use the smallest drives capacity in all the drives and that is fine. I have a 640GB, and 3 500GB...

Given this 48 port switch and I have no use for it. How much is it worth?

I moved to OSX a while back but made a backup of my files in windows 7 using the back up and restore program built in. I have moved that back up and restore file a couple of times through my OSX external hard drives since I only kept it as an archive in case SHTF and I need to have a...

Just got the new 1080p Apple TV and would like to convert some MKV files into mp4/m4v so that I can stream it using iTunes. I am using a ppc power mac g5 so im usually stuck on older version of software. I tried subler which supposedly works but it crashes everytime I save the video. I would...

I am switching over to a Mac pro for my main rig and I need to transfer my files over. I know that I can simply copy all of them over through a external hard drive, but I have always used windows 7 back up and restore so that my files keep their DATE CREATED, DATE MODIFIED settings intact. What...
