    Music library storage/backup

    OneDrive. If you get the $100 per year Office 365 subscription you can get well over a TB of space. There's a OneDrive app for any device you can think of that would give you access to the music. Additionally it integrates with Groove Music on Win10/Win Phone/IOS/Android and can stream any song...

    Cool Video of the Day

    Amazing video. Just wish this stuff would work in real life. Unfortunately for something like this with the 3D effect of the projected video it only works from a single viewing point. To make the video they used a third robot that held the camera (you can see the robot base at 3:00 when it shows...

    Can SAS RAID cards support SATAIII?

    All Dell cards except the h700/800 only support up to 2tb drives (can't confirm myself as all our servers with the h700 only take 2.5" drives). Dell has no plans to change that. myself I can confirm that the sas 5i/r and perc5i and 6i don't support over 2 tb. I also read that Dell is supposed to...

    Using iMac for Display

    I do this at work with my 27" iMac. It will NOT work with the new models that come with thunderbolt. All you need it a displayport to mini-displayport cable (or mini DP to mini DP depending on what port your video card has). A $5 Monoprice cable will do fine. Once connected you can use...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    Not quite correct. I have a 5450 at work that I just connected to my iMirror 27" (iMac that's never used) as a third monitor. It works just fine, even shows the Dell logo during startup. So it's possible that the lower end 5 series cards also work fine and it's just the 57 and 58 series cards...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    I recently had to initialize a new set of 5 of the 3TB hitachis. The initialization was taking forever and would have taken over two days. What I found was that changing the "Enable Disk Write Cache" setting to Enable (not Auto or Disabled) cut the init time ten times. 6 or 7 hours later it was...

    iPhone Clock Bungles Time Change

    My (work provided) 3gs with 4.3 on it changed fine on Sunday. Then Monday morning it was an hour back. Then at work I was showing it to my friend and it said 8:30am but suddenly switched to 9:31am. It was fine till the evening when it again switched back. Damn annoying.

    Areca and hitachi 7k3000

    Got 5 of these myself. I tested a single drive first and got basically the same result alamone had in his compatability thread (my experience at the bottom as well). I have since copied 9TB to the array and done a full bit by bit compare to the original data with no problems what so ever.

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    It wouldn't surprise me at all if you were having a power issue. When I originaly built my home server I started out with 2 drives in RAID 1. At the time I knew that with a 24 port RAID card I would eventually have alot of drives to power. So I decided to get a 1000W power supply to future...

    1TB vs 2TB // Consumer vs Enterprise drives

    If you want to further reduce the risk get each of the three drives from a different manufacturer. That should prevent loss due to a firmware or hardware issue that affects a specific model drive. (Like Seagates last year).

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Sorry I should have said use the modify volume set option (going from memory). In there make sure the Max Capacity Allowed and Volume Capacity values are the same. If the two values are the same then everything on the Areca side is done. Now in Windows go to Disk Management (in vista or 7...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Couple things. 1. Did you expand the volume set as well? 2. Is the volume partitiond using GPT and not MBR? 3. Reboot or do Rescan from Disk Management.

    Hitachi Deskstar 3TB 7K3000 Compatibility Thread

    I've been running 5 of these on my Areca 1280ML in Raid 5 for the last couple days. No problems so far and I transfered almost 9TB of data to it with no issues. One VERY important thing I learned was that turning on the write cache on the disks (disabled by default on the Areca) increased the...

    Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack

    Or you could just plugin a USB flash drive and move the profile around on that. Basically this gives you 4 seperate Xbox gamertags (profiles). You can use each one on ANY xbox. If you keep the profile on a USB flash drive you can take it with you to a friends house for example. The 4...

    244,000 Germans Opt Out of Street View

    This is where that argument is total bullshit. If you are a criminal out to find targets to rob you will use streetview to canvas a street and pick out potential targets. If you went there in person in a car driving around slowly looking at all the houses you have a high chance of getting a...

    re-adding a missing HDD

    Try going into Device Manager, then in the Action menu or the toolbar use the "Scan for Hardware Changes" option. The disk should be redetected and show up under Disk Drives. If it doesn't show up here nothing else in the system will see it. The Nvidia tool probably connects to the chipset...

    RAID Expansion - Multiple PCIe Raid controllers on one Mobo?

    BTW I would see if you can make the second RAID card an Areca as well. The main benefit of this is that your raidsets would work on either card in case you need to move things around. Also I seem to recal from the manual saying you can span raidsets across cards as well.

    I need software that monitors changes in a folder for data backup

    Depending on your needs Windows Live Mesh 2011 might work too. It's kinda like SyncToy but allows sharing folders between any number of computers you specify. You can also sync folder to the 5GB of online storage you get for free (I use it to backup my photos). The sync also works over the...

    BIOS Software Coming to the End of the Road

    Not partition but drive. With a conventional BIOS you can only have a 2TB drive since you need to use MBR which doesn't support anything larger. A conventional BIOS (as far as I'm aware of) cannot boot a GPT drive which has a MUCH higher limit. Any 64 bit version of Windows supports GPT for...

    Microsoft LightSpace On Video

    You realize of course that that setup is just a couple Kinect devices setup with a couple projectors. You could easily have the hardware for it in less than $2000 (most of which would be the projectors).

    Australian ISP In Court Over Throttling

    Years ago I had my internet provided by Rogers Cable. The speed was really good and I had no usage cap (this was back when it was all advertised as unlimited). After a couple years the speed just dropped below modem speeds during peak hours. At the time I averaged around 150-300GB per month with...

    The current 3D glasses are NOT new tech. These have been around since the 80's (probably earlier). The Sega Master System had them back in the mid 80's with 3D games. Sega Scope 3-D Glasses They use the exact same tech as the current glasses but were wired and not wireless. The wireless portion...

    Name Change Won’t Save RadioShack

    Oh no no no. It was WORSE. When all the Radio Shacks in Canada changed their name the new full official name was "The Source by Circuit City". Some even added a "Formerly Radio Shack" label for a bit too. Now it's just "The Source" I guess after Circuit City going away and all. Biggest problem...

    Windows 7 and Browser Choice in Europe

    Did anyone else notice they placed Opera as the last choice? I found that funny myself. I can just imagine them adding more and more browsers to the list and Opera slowly scrolling off to the right and not showing up anymore in a normal window.

    MPAA – RIAA: You Have No Right To Perpetual Access

    Intel Introduces New RAID Controllers

    I'm guessing these are going to replace Intels IOP processors that come RAID card makers (Areca for example) use on their cards. Just because the card isn't made by Intel doesn't mean the chips arent.
