    [SOLVED] External 8 TB HDD (Seagate/SRD00F2) not being detected by Windows 7 Home Premium

    [SOLVED] External 8 TB HDD (Seagate/SRD00F2) not being detected by Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hello, I wasn't sure where to post this, but the Windows 10 Forum seemed like a good start. I'm attempting to set a way to have my PC start up when I press the center button on my wireless XBox 360 Controller. It is wireless, but the receiver is connected via a USB plugin.

    Two 1080 Ti's in SLI. Best way to use two old 980 Ti's?

    Thank you all for your advice. I've decided to take your advice and offload these cards on someone who CAN properly use them. If, in the future, a PhysX card becomes necessary, I can always buy one then.
