I would like to see what brand people prefer for their hard drive these days? I have switched brands throughout the years, but lately I have been using the Seagate 'Iron Wolfs' for my NAS. I know the WD reds are suppose to be good as well. For regular computers I always recommend a SSD or .M2...

Best Buy currently has the WD 8TB usb 3.0 drive on sale for $139.99. Word on the street is if you crack one open they have a WB red nas drive inside. Tempting for the amount of storage that you are getting for the money. https://t.co/x3KhYs6yDw

What is your excuse now? Kingston 120gig SSD - $21.99

Kinda like Stablebit's Drivepool Drive Bender is another version of pooling software. Basically combining multiple drives into a single large drive but using a native NTFS format and duplication, meaning that if something happens you can just pull the drive and read the files in another system...

Been getting into 80s style (retrowave/synthwave) lately. At first it can just be noise, but as most of the songs progress, they also progress in complexity and greatness. :) 198xad, full album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egAB2qtVWFQI foresee Timecop as really good Summer afternoon...

The USB Killer is a booby-trapped, hand-made USB drive that will "burn down" your laptop if you insert it into your USB slot. First described on the Russian site Habrahahbr, the USB Killer's origin story has now been translated into English: The basic idea of the USB drive is quite simple...

Interesting a great idea and a great start. Basically a 120gig SSD with a 1 terabyte platter built into one 2.5" drive. Review Official Link

Why more often than not when an order is messed up it's never in your favor? They always short you an item or screw you over and give you some cheap item. Reason for this rant is my Taco Johns order was messed up the other day. Ordered a number 2 combo for wife and a number five for myself. The...

Ran into this yesterday and thought I would post the fix in case someone else runs into it. Basically the machine would just boot there with a blinking cursor. Tried to boot off a OS cd to try to repair it, and it couldn't see an OS either. Pulled the drive and hooked it up to another machine...

For those of you that carry around these each day you should really run some sort of encryption on them in case of theft/lost. I have used the turtorial that I will post below many times and it works great. Just make sure to save yourself some room on your device to drop the Truecrypt folder...

Watched this last night. Heard good things about it. But my God the pauses, who talks like that? The movie was so so, could had been real good. A 5/10. http://localmoviereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Drive-Poster.jpg

A neat little website when you can add your starting point and destination and it tell you based off the vehicle that you how drive how much your trip will cost. It figures in the MPG and current gas prices for you. /http://www.costtodrive.com/

Had a hotel bring in a machine today that needed software installed so that customers can't mess up the system. I have been around Deep Freeze before and Windows Steady State (which is no longer supported). So we tried out this software and it was easy to work with and even had some nice options...

For those of you that need to buy hardrives right now, be prepared to pay at least double right now thanks to all the flooding. All the stores around town are sold out now. People are buying them up. Alot of people are switching to SSD because of the prices which are making the SSD prices go up...

I know giving blood is a good thing, but what do they do with it all? I am sure that it expires all the time. But with so many people giving wouldn't there be enough? Or?

WOW didn't see that one coming. Thanks god I still got the original! http://www.wegotserved.com/2010/11/23/microsoft-abandons-development-windows-home-server-drive-extender/
