    Question T7 4Tb reading at normal speeds but writing to the drive at 2mbps??

I have that drive set to "mirror" mode so every time I back it up it will add, modify, or delete any file that has been added, modified, or deleted, on the source drive. Using the AOMEI software the 3.5Tb drive will be scanned and updated in...

    Question "The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in."

    Thanks for the reply, I will give all those a try over the next couple days. I'm gonna triple check I have everything backed up before doing anything that requires a restart though, in case I can't get back into the account. May the spirit of USAFRet be with me as I make thine local disk...

    Question Can malware/viruses etc jump to a locked but plugged-in external drive?

    So if plugging a dirty USB device into your computer can potentially infect the hard drives, can it reach a locked but plugged in external drive? Specifically, I keep my personal and sensitive documents on a couple Samsung T5/T7's that are always plugged into my computer which I try to keep...

    News Nvidia teases RTX 40 Super series launch at CES — here's all of the leaked specs

    My 4080 FE has about 1/4" clearance in my Fractal Meshify case, which is not exactly a tiny case.. lol. But honestly I love the beefy coolers. The thing runs about 65c tops.
