    3TB external drive, do I need to prep it somehow?

    Silly question, but have to ask it. I just got a 3T external hard drive, the Seagate Expansion USB3.0 (connected to my laptop's USB 2.0 port). Laptop is the one in signature, runs Win 7 Pro x64. From reading the forums, I thought that I would somehow struggle with getting the drive to be...

    mSATA to USB or eSATA?

    This is the nerd in me coming out, but I am contemplating several models of 'fatty' ultrabooks to replace the dinosaur. If the laptop would have only one mSATA and one SATA connector for storage, and I were to replace the 128Gb mSATA with a 256Gb, is there a cable from mSATA to USB2.0/3.0 or...

    DEAD Darksiders 3.99 gmg-steamable

    http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/action/darksiders/ Use coupon PLAYF-SURVY-VOUCH to make it 3.99 Steam-able. Don't know much about it. It's open world, and sort of like one of the Batman: Arkham games. Seems to run poorly for some with superior hardware and fine for others.

    Object Dock or Nexus Dock or ?

    I am looking for a Windows 7 dock or quick launch application. It does not need to imitate a Mac or jump around with crazy animations. It does not need to have widgets, but I'd look into them if it did. It'd be nice if it were relatively light on resources. I will use it to launch...
