    Frequent internet 'hangs' or becomes unresponsive

    Thanks for the informative read. I've been having the same issue for a while now and have been troubleshooting mtu sizes on my router thinking it was something with my 5g Internet. I'll try using chrome for a while to see if that is the the issue. Hate to move away from Firefox as I've been a...

    As mentioned earlier that means he/she isn't getting it. I orded a ups at one time after SamirD posted it and it stayed in backorder and was eventually cancelled. I called an complain becaus they had 5 more in stock but wouldn't sell any of them at the price I bought the 1st one at. I think I...

    WD Easystore 14TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - $200

    I ordered 3 for pickup and 1 more for delivery. The 3 that were pickup were WD140EDGZ-11B1PA0 as well. What program did you use to tell what they were shucking them? Nevermind, just found that crystal disk info will tell me.

    Seasonic Prime TX 1000 Watt (Back in stock at MSRP Best buy)

    I'm going to say that b&h probably just hasn't updated their stock numbers. They have been out of stock multiple times so you are getting a new psu and not one that has been on the shelf. Unless seasonic is still making the older model I wouldn't worry about it. Case and point, I ordered a...

    One set of those 8tb went down to 109. The rest sold for 129. I also know that shucked drives can got for ~$14 a tb. That said you get a longer warranty and don't have to hassle with with 3.3v mods on retail drives. My guess is they will probably come down some but I don't have a good frame...

    I'll echo what exiled350 said. Keep a basic level of backup and you are fine. From what I can tell from the little I've used the warehouse it's likely some on ordered a dozen and realized it didn't suit their needs. Maybe they ordered sas instead of sata like those 16tb drives and they are...

    Upgrading from 2500k to 10700k for single core performance. Is it worth it?

    Defiantly a day late since you already have your machine but to explain the differences between the two. This is just a guess but I would venture to say that Cinebench is using a new instruction set that the 10700k has that the 2500k does not which gives the additional 40-45% increase in speed...

    PSU Kicking Off Circuit Breaker - Replace PSU?

    PSU Kicking Off Circuit Breaker - Replace PSU?

    I'm a little late to the party but you may want to test without the ups. I know I ended starting to trip my gfci every couple of hours when i put a 3rd ups on a single circuit. Hope it helps.

    I've actually been watching those 16tb drives but its hard to justify 1200+ atm. Then amazon had some deals on 12tb shuckables and I bit. 700 was a little easier to swallow. Hope I don't get burned but since I got 4 copies of my data I feel pretty confident I can live with the white labels.

    3900x vs 2x Xeon X5660

    That is impres To assume a linear speed up might be a bit optimistic. Usually there is some factor such as 75-90% gain but I won't speak to this specific application since I don't know and your point if the x5660 could scale to 2x it would be much closer is valid. I'd be curious to what a...

    12 quarts mobil 1 synthetic, various grades $30, ymmv, instore.

    It was fine which is why I picked up 5 jugs when it was on sale for my different cars. That said if you haven't already watched the video you should as he does a good job of editing so there isn't any wasted time.

    12 quarts mobil 1 synthetic, various grades $30, ymmv, instore.

    My two cents. I've run what ever synthetic is on sale at the time and have never had any issues with the engine dying before the rest of the car. They may leak oil badly but when it calls for 4.5 quarts I just dump the 5 quart jug in and by the time its due an oil change its about half a quart...

    I feel you might be in my situation where you just use your nas as a file storage system. If that is the case then replacing the drives in the QNAP sounds the cheapest and easiest. A friend got me to build my own nas system though and with the recent smr debacle that might be the safer route...

    What is needed to play full DVD over wifi

    In a word yes. From my personal experience N was a giant step forward over G and B. When we upgraded to N we no longer got knocked off line when the microwave ran and speeds were dramatically increased to where they approached 100mb either net and we could get internet in the back bedroom.
