I have a Perixx Wireless Mouse I got not too long ago. It's suffering from that problem that mice sometimes do, I guess, where while you're trying to scroll down a page, for example, as you scroll the wheel the mouse is constantly wanting to jump/scroll in the opposite direction that you are...

Finally got started on copying the old drive data to new drive. I planned on doing "chunks" of 500GB or less. I first did just under 200GB, I think. I came back to one of those "path name too long" annoying messages, so it was waiting for me to click that to move on. I hate that...

Don't think I changed any "options", just chose "simple volume" and the disk number was "2", and just chose a drive letter. I like that I can resize the images posted here. Are users able to click to enlarge or view in full size if I size them smaller to take up less page/post space...

Ok. Might as well try this: That work ok?

It's a brand new Seagate 12tb ironwolf nas. st12000vnz008. (Edit: Can't see label on actual drive right now, it's in the enclosure. That's from the box^.)

I guess I'll just wait...how annoying. Can't hurt to just leave this sketchy enclosure and drive in it while I wait, can it? Haha. It's initialized, but that's all... Yea, I don't know. Why is it odd? MY 5tb WD Passport shows up as 4657.49 GB NTFS...

Ok, yea. Found a couple threads on this. I'm getting an error from imgur. "imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later." Looks like...a coding window... Am I going to have to sign up to one of these image hosting sites? <-- Nevermind, sigh.

Ok. Soon as I figure out how. Can't drag and drop, "insert" want's a url...

So. I'm taking the risk of tryin out the Maiwo on a new drive. I've never had to initialize a drive before. In disk manager, I right clicked the drive, and chose initialize. Of the two options (MBR and GPT), I chose GPT. It did something real quick, and then/now it shows as "Online". Shows...

I read the Orico dual bay I ordered, I decided to check the lower 1 and 2 star amazon reviews, and now I can't bring myself to even try it. Plenty of the same complaints about ruining data, formatting their drives to "RAW"(?), failing, loosing everything. And noting what I thought was pretty...

Thank you. I'll try no more than 1tb at a time. Curious - what dumb USB things? Haha.

First, thank you. Saved me some time and money there. Next, it'd be smart to portion out this "copying" of my 5tb elements hdd to any new drive, right? A 5tb at one time transfer is probably a bad idea. 500gb-1tb at a time, does that sound good? I've portioned it out like this when I moved...

My thinkpad w530 has an "express card slot" on the right side, above the "card reader". From the thinkpad wiki, it mentions an "Mini PCI express slot": https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W530 Can I take advantage of that for anything, like connecting an HDD (like the one I just got) or...

Thanks guys. Ordered an Orico dual bay to give a go.

How important is the orientation of the hdds inside an enclosure (caddy, nas, das, etc.)? Is the best orientation having them "flat" like you would lay one on a table - like how you would put it down to read the sticker on the "top"? Some have the drives on the sideds, or even upright/vertical.
