The folder the files are saved in is on an external hard drive.How do I check the health and what am I looking for?

I have a couple of issues.I'm not sure if they're related, or not, but here it goes.The first is Windows Explorer hanging then crashing when trying to load a .ts file.You see i've been trying to empty out and save all of my recordings from my Tivo.I downloaded and installed a program called...

Well you've given me some things to think about.I've spent so long thinking of getting a RAID setup that I kind of felt mentally committed to it, if that makes.A regular disk image backup sounds like it might be better, not to mention cheaper.You may have just saved me over $800.I guess now I...

I've been seeing all these reviews talk about how the Adobe apps, for example, actually run slower in Windows 11 than 10.What do you think is a realistic time frame for kinks like that getting ironed out?

You did all of that with your stuff still in place?Have you ever encountered, however trivial, any issues?I've also read that installing an "upgraded" version of Windows like that is not as good as a clean install then re-installing all of your stuff back on top of it because it can cause problems.

What about USB 4?I know people say that it's a solution in search of a problem and I guess they're mostly right.Whether it's USB, or Thunderbolt 4 I really just want to connect and power my external drives through the same 1 cable one day instead of the clunky power plugs that I have to use...

I know that, but do you think at some point they'll bring that to their Ryzen chips as well?Why do they only reserve that for TR?

Did they say anything about quad channel RAM, or USB 4 support?

What about a different drive?For example, if the image was made from on a Samsung 970 EVO, it fails, can I put the image onto a 980 PRO?What about a different brand?

I also read on some site yesterday that you can't just restore an image to any system, that it has to be the same hardware.Is that true?

How does it work with incrementals?I get flashing a full drive image onto a new one if you need to, but how would you do it with an incremental to make sure it's up to date with the latest backup?

You said your SanDisk(i'm assuming the full image) was 605GB.How big were the incrementals?

Oh I know all of that about RAID 1, that it copies a drive in real time, but is only seen as 1, and doesn't help with viruses, or accidental deletion, and such.I guess I was more narrowly focused on my drive physically failing because that's what actually happened to me.I've never accidentally...

Yes, please.Go into details.I thought that's what physical drive redundancy was, having a second drive ready to take over if the first one fails..like what happened to me.How is that not a backup?Also, after reading what your setup is, i'm curious.What's an "incremental"?
