    h340 with WHS v1 and 3TB WD Red

    Hi, I've been poking around different forums, and I think I'm out of luck, but I thought I'd just check here before giving up. I own an Acer h340 with the original WHS v1 running. I purchased--without doing any research (dur)--a new WD Red 3TB drive (WD30EFRX). I knew that the server would only...

    Hi, I have an existing win 7 PC with an SSD main drive that I'd like to add 2 (or 4, eventually) large HDDs to stream movies to my PS3 (media streaming) and serve as a file repository for my laptops (OSX and win 7/8). I plan to set up windows media player to share the movies folder for the...

    Hi all. I have an h340 which I just did a fresh restore on with no other drives but the 1TB WD Green OS drive. Works great and I'm copying files to it now. However, I inserted a different 1TB WD Green drive and nothing happens... no light, and it doesn't appear in the Server Storage tab in...

    Basic NAS questions

    I started another thread with a ton of questions, but I didn't get a huge amount of response. I'm going to simplify here. I have a DNS-320 NAS. It's got 2 1TB WD drives in it set to RAID 1. If the NAS device itself craps out, can I remove the drives and put one in my win7 system and access...

    Hey all, I have some questions about a file-sharing/backup solution I'd like to create. Background is that I have an acer h340 home server with 2 drives in it set up as JBOD with some folders duplicated. I've felt fine about this until the server itself failed. All HD lights out, had to re-setup...

    EZ-Flash 2 via DVD RW

    Hi, I have a P8z68-v pro I'm trying to flash to version 0902. I got the rom file, I formatted a new DVD RW disc in win7 and stuck the rom at the root. When I reboot and run ez-flash 2 the DVD doesn't appear. I get 3 volumes on the left, my SSD, my HDD and what I'm guessing is the reserved...

    Final judgement on MBA 2011 SSDs

    Hi, I've scoured anandtech and some other forums, and I don't feel like I've gotten a final consistent call on which SSD is "better"--if any. The reason I'm interested is that I have the 13" 2011 with the 128gb Toshiba drive. My questions: 1. Anand benchmarked the two drives, and said that...

    Microcenter's strange advertising

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum to post this in. It regards a video card purchase I made at microcenter, and I'm not 100% I'm in the right here. Any feedback is appreciated! I had an interesting exchange with the Microcenter customer service, and I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or if I...

    What would it take to make a 120hz *input* TV

    As far as I know, there are no TVs on the market today that will actually accept and display 120hz signal from a computer. Given that the new TVs have hdmi 1.4, and the old TVs *could have had* DVI-D ports, and that many of them already have a 120hz panel, what exactly was/is stopping the...

    Plasma vs 120hz input (3d) monitor for PC

    Hi, this may have been addressed before, but I can't find it. I'm interested in getting the best display device for playing PC games and some occasional browsing/text editing (85% games/15% other, might even be 90/10). I'm interested in the new 27" 120hz (3d) monitors coming out soon because...

    Acer HN274H 27" @120Hz?

    Has anyone gotten any firm information on the new HN274H monitor announced at CES? As far as I can tell, it's what I've been waiting for, a larger-format (27"+) 1080p display that accepts 120hz input. Can anyone confirm the following: - it *definitely* will accept 120hz input via DL-DVI or...
