Long story short, I bought two 4.0TB WD Black HDD to use as non-booting data-only drives. I formatted them internally as 4.0TB (GPT) but later decided to use one of them in an external USB/eSATA enclosure. Everything has been working fine for a couple of weeks now with automated nightly...

Hey, I've had a Dell pc for years now and been noticing it has really been hit hard by the times graphics wise. The idea is to reuse any parts possible to build a new computer that can play games decently at maybe normal settings? I.e. Battlefeild 3 type intensity. The PC i currently have is...

I'm getting an alert when I boot up that says rear fan failure on my dell optiplex 745, but the fan is working. The error started straight away after I put a new CPU into my pc. The new CPU is more energy efficient so it needs less cooling than the previous chip. The fan is way quieter now, but...
