    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.

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

    After reading reviews on Seagate's 4TB drive and seeing Backblaze's report (http://gigaom.com/2014/01/21/backblaze-on-cheap-hard-drives-buy-hitachi-if-you-can-afford-em/) on hdd realiability I was wondering which I should go with if pricing is relatively the same.

    SSHD partitioned vs. SSHD w/ SSD for OS

    I live on the west coast and went back east to for the holidays and tried to access it and there was some lag. It isn't unreasonable given the distance and the time for the disks to spin up. I'm just looking to improve the response time from the server. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit as...

    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

    We (my wife and I) have Ford Escape with a balance in my name and a Chevy Silverado paid off. We are looking at trading the truck in for a car with better gas mileage. What I would like to know is if there is any advantage to paying off the Escape and have a higher payment on the 2nd vehicle...

    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.

    Chevrolet 2500 Diesel Smoke and Loss of Power

    1995 Chevrolet 2500 Diesel Problem 1: In the morning when I crank, it will take a few time to catch. Upon starting I get a TON of white smoke. Quite embarrassing living in the inner city. The smoke last about 10 seconds then quits. Problem 2: After it stops smoking it will idle, but...

    Seattle officer punches girl in face during jaywalking stop

    If a cop is driving and see someone break a law, I would think it is well within his duty to stop and reprimand them assuming he isn't en route to another, more pressing issue.

    Well we can't all be a shiny beacon of humanity like you. If it is child porn, that is one thing, but just regular people having sex, who cares? Maybe the guy is trying to learn how to better please his wife?

    You didn't find porn on the computer, but rather browser history where he'd gone to XXX sites. C'mon man, I'd leave this alone.

    Looking for a Florida panhandle vacation spot

    ugh, Destin, I've stayed there half my life. Waaaayy too touristy now. If you have a high maintenance crew with you, then Destin may be the best place, but I hate that place now. If you want to chill, have the beach to yourself, go around the Blue Mtn. Beach area. Grayton Beach, Blue Mtn...

    i'm so in love with the music video for DJ Tiesto ft. Tegan and Sara - Feel it in my

    Just under a really catchy tune for me. I think the video really adds to the enjoyment, but if you just hear the tune it I don't like it as much (for me, at least). I still need to hear Sainthood, but I was not impressed with The Con by T&S.
