    Question Advice on large storage drive, and backups needed ?

    Hi. I have a usb 2 port next to the two usb 3 ports on the left side of the laptop. I tried what you suggested with that. They both still show up under the same "eject usb 3.2 storage device" option under "safely remove" in taskbar.

    Question Advice on large storage drive, and backups needed ?

    I'm glad you mentioned this. Because I remember that I used to interact with some type of "Eject" button. Definitely on macos, but also in windows. And I think one reason I've been using the "safely remove" option in the sys. tray, is because I couldn't find/see the "Eject" option (maybe...

    Question Advice on large storage drive, and backups needed ?

    I might as well post here again, same topic/hardware. I got a second external enclosure, exact same unit. It's housing the exact same SG Ironwolf 12TB 3.5" HDD. I double checked how to initialize it, and did so in the same manner as I did the first one, months ago. Chose GPT, NTFS, etc., and...

    Question Advice on large storage drive, and backups needed ?

    One of the reviews of the enclosure I chose said something to this effect: If you try to use two of this same enclosure , connected to the pc at the same time, you'll have issues/it won't work because they both have the same...controller/chip. I think that was what was mentioned. Can anybody...

    Question Advice on large storage drive, and backups needed ?

    I have a drive that stores a bunch of folders/files, Drive A. I had copied all of that data to the new drive, Drive B. But now I have changed some things on Drive A (a few new files and folders, and maybe organized a couple files into a (new) folder. How do I get *all* files and folders on...

    Question Inaccurate/jumpy "reverse" mouse scrolling ?

    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...

    Question Advice on large storage drive, and backups needed ?

    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...

    Question Advice on large storage drive, and backups needed ?

    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...

    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^.)

    Question Advice on large storage drive, and backups needed ?

    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.
