    Big HDD Showdown: Seagate 10TB vs. HGST Ultrastar He10 vs. WD Gold 8TB

    Ohh, also, backup your data. Even as a minimum on extra storage. That grand you spend trying to recover data could be spent on multiple different types of redundant storage systems or better yet, offsite backup services. Depending on how important it is for you.

    Big HDD Showdown: Seagate 10TB vs. HGST Ultrastar He10 vs. WD Gold 8TB

    To those with issues with Seagate drives, try testing the drives before you install them. Plus, every brand has pockets of bad product. This is easily noticed through services like backblaze and their reporting. I prefer HGST myself also but have seagate drives too. When I built my last server...

    Cracked 2012 Nexus 7 Repair: Worth It Or A $55 Mistake?

    Fractal Design Define Nano S Mini-ITX Case Review

    I love the Fractal cases. But for a non-optical case (not for me) and no large storage array inside, this case is huge.

    Microsoft Does Not Plan To Change Data Gathering Policy

    More importantly, I also won't go to 10 due to the update policies. I do not have the forced spam festival for 10 going on in my 7 machines cause they are all set to do no updating. I have to go in, tell it to update, select what I want to update, etc. But I'm not afraid to read a few about what...
