    MFP Print/Scan/Fax 10/100 vs gigabit

    MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW I thought it gave a bigger starter cartridge but doesn't appear so. I didn't think it would make a difference, but it never hurts to ask. This is a home office and my entire house is run with cat 6 and gigabit switches. I also see that the 8950 has a touchscreen as...

    MFP Print/Scan/Fax 10/100 vs gigabit

    I was looking into a new MFP printer/scan/fax for my small office. One of the printers (100 dollars more) also includes a gigabit ethernet port on the printer. Is there any benefit to the gigabit for these functions? I am not printing large graphics, but mostly will be printing PDF documents...

    Mac mini help

    With the Server version I would also be losing two hard drives instead of the one 500gb one. I'd replace that with a 1tb that people are using in the mini's now. I the kit should be roughly 40 dollars or cheaper I believe.

    Does 2nd SDD need to be aligned?

    First SSD is working perfect. It is aligned correctly with windows 7. Today I installed my second SSD into the computer. Does this one get aligned as well? I did a quick format, but it is not aligned.
