    Realiability: (1) 4TB or (2) 2TB HDD?

    Does how they are configured matter to the integrity of the disk? I'm wondering if smaller drives will last longer and create fewer bad sectors than larger drives when put under the same stresses.

    SSHD partitioned vs. SSHD w/ SSD for OS

    I have a file server that uses on old Gigabyte mobo and Intel Q6600. My current 2TB Seagate HDD is about to crap out and I am looking to upgrade the hard drive. I am wondering which setup I should do. Would it be better to have 2 HDD (1 SSD for the operating system and a SSHD for the...

    Looking to purchase a second vehicle, have finance question

    We have a balance on the <$5000 on the Escape with about 7.25% (I know that isn't great). The dealership is saying they can get me around 4%, but I'm expecting around 5-6% when the dust settles.

    Looking to purchase a second vehicle, have finance question

    Chevrolet 2500 Diesel Smoke and Loss of Power

    So I plugged the block heater in last night to see if that would change anything and sure enough, this morning it fired right up. No power loss, no smoke, it fired right up just like it should. So can I deduce that it is a problem with either the glow plugs or the glow plug connectors?

    Chevrolet 2500 Diesel Smoke and Loss of Power

    It is a 6.5L turbo. The guy I bought it from just had the engine rebuilt along with the tranny by a dealership so I doubt that is it.
