These have been on their product matrix since May at the very least:

Huh I too had a 5.4K HGST in there! What a snail. Works fine as a backup drive though. Forgot to mention how it all went. The system picked everything up just fine, dual ch. works nicely too.

Arigato gosaimasu everyone for your assistance! Especially you Third-Eye (y) Made my choice...

^Strange, I only see mentions of RAM PnP in Kingston's marketing material. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/non-plug-and-play-memory.3429727/ Please don't think of this as a "callout". Is HyperX generally the top tier option? I always got baffled at how their fast DDR4 RAM has the...

Massive thank you everyone. 6 Euro difference between the CL11 and the two CL9 (more expensive) options. Oh, and the CL11s are sold separately but under the same SKU. I reckon there's a 99.9% chance they'll match right? (As if I were buying a kit). Yup, the manual doesn't go deep into this...

That's clear, thanks. Question is: I'm removing the factory stick. Do the timings of the new kit have to match the old stick? Or it depends on the laptop manufacturer? The old one was 1600Mhz 11-11-11 I'm choosing between 1 1600Mhz 11-11-11 variant and 2 1600Mhz 9-9-9 variants. All are 2x8GB...

Planning to swap a single Samsung DDR3L 1600 8GB stick (11-11-11-28 timings I think) in my Toshiba P50-A-13C laptop with a 2x8GB kit because a) I discovered recently that there ARE 2 slots on the board; b) I'm running out of RAM at times; c) who doesn't like dual-channel? So the first...

Oh don't sweat it people! Coming soon to a QuietPC near you :D (no affiliation, they seriously have almost everything, like the 2700E)

So what are the owners of said chips (in laptops as an e.g.) are meant to do? :-| Swallow it or what?..

I'll try to find one, thank you! In the meantime, I'm definitely keeping an eye on this thing. It works as if nothing happened but who knows...

Yup, it doesn't have any ports for a power brick. Just a 2.5" enclosure that runs off USB. Windows always recognises it as "ASMT 2115 USB Device" (probably to do with the controller on the adapter board inside that thing). It's a Deltaco MAP-HL43U3. Some HDDScan reports in the meantime...

That's a lot of replies all of a sudden :) Take note that if your HDD is already toast or approaching that status (which you can check with a S.M.A.R.T. reading program like CrystalDiskInfo, WD's own software -- I imagine it's the Data Lifeguard Diagnostic, or a surface test (Verify, Butterfly...

Good part of day you're in the middle of dear Tom's Hardware forum member or a reader passing by :p, I've just run into a weird situation... not sure if I should call it an "issue", still. I hooked up my daily driver external HDD which hasn't given me trouble since Feb 2014 (knock on wood) to a...

No problem and nothing rude in your answer, it's A-OK :) Thank you. Though I'd like to ask one more time (sorry if it's a bit too obnoxious): considering the possible fact that the Chieftec Proton and the Bequiet System Power 9 are both just a grey-label Corsair CX with another sticker and...

Hi guys and gals, I've run into a dilemma advising on a PSU for someone's build. The guy is from Russia, and you've got to understand that we're choosing from the bottom of the bin. Forget your fancy tier lists, 9999W 80- Unobtainium Seasonics, etc. The way I see it, the bare minimum needed...
