Since erasing data is what wears out SSD and the controller also does its wear-levelling by rewriting and erasing data, is it better I don't erase my data even though I don't need it anymore?

My older Netgear R6700 has three antennas and says it does simultaneous dual band 3x3 Tx/Rx. So it can transmit or receive three signals at once. Isn't that essentially what MU-MIMO is doing? Is the industry creating new terms as a marketing hype for something that had already existed for...

Works great. Looks like new. I will take paypal.

With Startup Boost turned on in Settings I noticed my CPU usage is hitting 40% and my Ethernet is showing there's constant internet traffic even when I'm not doing anything. With Continue Running background Apps when Edge is closed turned on in Settings the usages are even more pronounced...

I'm reading a lot of contradicting info on Secure Erase. Does it truly delete data so it's unrecoverable even with the use of a Recovery software? I tried Samsung's Secure Erase yesterday and it completed the process in one second or less. I thought that was suspiciously fast. Zeroing out a...

If I delete a file and immediately run the TRIM command and wait a few minutes. Is the file effectively deleted by the SSD controller and is gone for good?

So I was going to secure erase my Samsung SSD using their software. In the process it said the drive was in a Frozen state. It instructed me to unplug the power to the drive for a few second and plug back in in order to proceed. I got through it fine. Now how do I put the drive back in its...

I have Windows 10 installed on SSD(1) which is connected to sata port 1. I got a new SSD(2) and connected it to sata port 3. I disconnect SSD 1 from port 1 before installing Windows 10 on SSD 2. I got Windows all setup on SSD 2 and rebooted several times to make sure everything is fine. I...

I just got two 500 GB Crucial MX500 SSDs. When I check SMART one drive says Unused Reserved Block Count is 44 while the other drive is 37. Both are new drives and shows only 1 power cycle. I go to Crucial's website and of course they confused me even more: "Attribute 180: Unused Reserved...

I bought two Samsung 870 EVO 250 GB SSD for two AMD computers. One motherboard is based on AMD SB850 chipset and the other AMD SB710 chipset. The Samsung EVOs are experiencing CRC Error Counts especially when running disc benchmarks. It is not a SATA cable issue as I have swapped it...

If you're a new godaddy customer use code GDD99com1. It expires in March 2020 I think.

I have a Seagate external drive formatted in NTFS that I used for both Windows and Mac. I used Paragon software for Mac to allow me to read/write the drive. One day Windows 10 didn't see the drive any longer. In the Disk Management it shows as an uninitialized drive. Windows asks me to...

Should bring Christmas cheer to all at Newegg.

I currently backup my data using drag and drop to my harddrives and flashdrives. When one of my flashdrives started goofing off and corrupting individual files I realized my backup routine sucks. Of course the drive never gives me a hint that something has gone awry. I randomly checked a few...

Well do they? Do harddrives have a read/write-wear strategy or do they always write sequentially, writing at the first empty sector? If I save a 2 MB file to disk and then erase it and then save again does it occupy the same physical space on the disk?

You are welcome.

My LG G Vista phone is equipped with a Qualcomm Cortex A7 1.2 GHz cpu and Adreno 305 GPU. My Insignia tablet has a Rockchip Cortex A9 1.6 GHz and Mali 400 GPU. Why does my phone runs smoother than the tablet even though it has a lower clocked and previous generation ARM cpu? Scrolling the...

I'm replacing the electrolytic capacitors on my 15" Klipsch KSW-300 subwoofer amplifier. The capacitor brand is Soundia and I have not been able to find specs for it. I was thinking of using polymer capacitors as a replacement because they are all around superior to regular capacitors except...

The rooms in my house are wired for ethernet. There's a junction box in the garage where all the ethernet wires meet. They are all terminated together on this punch down board. Is this board similar to a hub since all the wires are all joined together. How do I connect this so each room has...

During a clean installation of Windows 10 when I'm creating partitions, the installer automatically wants to create a 100 MB system partition in addition to the main partition. The harddrive is 500 GB. On another system with 750 GB harddrive the installer wants to create a 500 MB system...

It's true Windows 10 does not play DVDs. But Microsoft will give you a coupon for a free download of Windows 10 DVD Player via Update. Free only applies to upgrade Windows installations. If you do a clean install you forfeit or pay $15 for the privilege. I was wondering if there is a way to...

We all seen them. Pretty much the majority of new TVs sold today have 120, 240, 6000 Hz frame interpolation capabilities. It's a pretty neat feature, I think. Fortunately there's Smooth Video Project for computer users, but when will video cards start implementing that in hardware?

I bought a 16GB Corsair Flash Voyager GT USB3 a few months ago. Let me tell you it is horrible. The thing is unreliable in retaining stored data. Within a month files are corrupted and unreadable. The most telling are the thousands of pictures I archive and using Windows thumbnails view I...

When it comes to video acceleration is there a difference in performance between a low end video card and a high end video card? Will a top of the line video card ease the burden of decoding a video more from the cpu?

Previous to my Windows 10 upgrade I was able to watch 1080p videos full screen. I can watch youtube and netflix without issues. After the upgrade I can no longer do so as the videos play at 1 fps if not slower. If I scale down the video window to useless proportions then the frame rate goes...

I currently have a Samsung Note 3 with Verizon and I want a bigger screen. The Note 4 and 5 appear to have the same screen size and the Nexus 6 is just barely larger. I would like at least a 7 inch screen to make an upgrade worthwhile.

I am using Windows 10 Home. Initially I saw the "Defer Upgrade" option in the upgrade settings. I read that Home is not supposed to have this option. It's been a few days and I notice the "Defer Upgrade" option is no longer there. Where did it go?
