OK this 4 TB is back in stock, and the $10-off discount applies once you add to cart and go to checkout you see the discount. I'm just about to pull the trigger on one, but can anyone comment on whether the WD My Book 4TB will be able to spin down itself, like when you plug it into the USB port...

I for one appreciate your posts, these are very tempting and we can always use more storage...

Interesting. What are your thoughts of getting one of these types of stand-alone NAS devices, like this Asustor, compared to re-purposing a spare desktop running Windows 10 (which would otherwise sit unused in a closet)?

Back in stock at this price

Oh thanks for the analysis/write up! Interesting how the system connected to the enclosure can trigger power-off of the enclosure via the USB interface, such as when the system goes to sleep or puts the USB interfaces to sleep. Quick question about the opposite: is the drive itself able to...

Any idea what the internals of the drive enclosure is like? I'm wondering if it uses a standard SATA interface inside, or if there would be any way to open up the enclosure and remove and/or replace the existing drive?

How would non-members of Costco approach this? Is there a trial membership you could test out or start right now, which would last long enough to let you qualify for making purchases as a member at Costco later on when the monitors go on sale?

Usually I'd say you have identified how to test for temperature by using a fan, but it sounds like the speed situation is preventing you from seeing if the fan prevents overheating. So, what about the opposite kind of heat test? Try to overheat it by turning off the fan and see if the problem...

Anyone have the download link? I didn't see it on the twitter link in OP, but I may have missed it...

Has OP identified the screen sizes here, what was the 16:10 size/pixel dimensions, and what was the 16:9? I have to say, I have an opposite conclusion than OP. I went from 24" 1920x1200 as my main monitor, to a 32" 2560x1440. Note that the pixel density is almost identical between the two...

It's a bit silly not to at least try it yourself to see. Your computer won't explode or burn up if you try it, there isn't really any risk, so do it! I think most people who try dual monitors end up liking it. Also, you can use the quick shortcut win+p to easily enable or disable the second...

Before you decide, you might want to check the market prices in your area (or eBay) to see if this is worth the hassle. You might need to expend more of your time/effort than you could recoup by selling either card. One option might be to offer it for free on craigslist, so that you gain a...

Same with shoes, some people buy so many shoes, they are terrible people! And cars, you should have no more than one car per household, think of all the harm to parking! And don't get me started on pets, I can't believe people think you can own more than one pet at a time! [note that this is...

I'm still confused here. I read the first post, and it sets up the problem as being, if you turn your visual settings down to minimum, something bad happens with AMD cards, and something good happens with NVidia cards? What? Can someone explain a bit more in simplistic terms, what is the...

Just wanted to note something helpful about resource monitor under disk: you can sort by different columns. If you click on the column labeled "Total (B/sec)" then your system will sort the activities (either ascending or descending, if you click multiple times). Anyway, sort the disk...
