archive

Hi, I was transferring the contents of my old HDD to the new HDD because I've just built a new PC a week ago and I needed to transfer everything onto my new PC, and during this process I also archived (compressed) 600 GB worth of files (about 550k of them) and halfway through the archiving (in...

I ran this command: "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" a -r -s -ep1 "[target filename].rar" "%appdata%\Thunderbird\Profiles" It created the .rar file - and then deleted the Thunderbird Profiles source folder. Is that the expected behavior? I thought it defaulted to not delete. WinRAR's Help...

Around January or February, I had some files (mostly images and videos) to store that mean a lot to me, but that I didn't want anyone else to see under any circumstances. So I used a really old (and small in capacity) USB stick of mine, wiped it completely clean with 30+ overwrites, and created...

I'm not sure if this question belongs in the “hardware category,” but I can’t find anywhere else to ask, so here it goes. My computer was hit with ransomware last year, and I have video files that have been encrypted (via RSA and AES-128). I know the possibility of decrypting it is slim, but...

this question isn't about hard drives, but hopefully "storage" is still the right section for this question. I'm looking to backup my data to bd-r's for archival, and I'm trying to find the safest way to physically store them, with the intention to avoid scratches or other wear and tear. I've...

Just curious what the storage longevity of these SSD drives in terms of archival storage. If one isn't consistently writing to the drive (and effectively refreshing every nand cell periodically), then whats the true longevity of an SSD that gets put into storage?

I have core CORE I5 AND 6GB RAM but very slow in gaming performance slower than the 2gb ram..

I'm going to start saving for this build I've conjured up. It's my first build, so I don't want to be disappointed when the parts get here and don't work with each other... Could someone see any flaws with my choices or maybe tell me of a some better part choices? Thanks...

It outperforms any other GTX 970, has a sexy blue LED, cools the coldest (pun intended), and I was wondering how is the design on this model? Like the build quality of the PCB and the Fans and Shrouds. Any help is appreciated.

I was able to solve the available amount of memory issue that I had. And this is how I was able to do it. My system has 4 gigs of memory installed and when I booted it up and checked the available memory because of how slow it was I saw that I had only 2 gigs of my 4 gigs of memory available. I...
