I recently received a Dell XPS 13 here at my shop. They indicated it was not usable with a "no boot device found" error (or something similar). Apparently they first gave it to a "techie" family member to fiddle with but was returned with new cosmetic damage and the same issue. When I first...

I am looking at a refurbished laptop with an i5-3320M , it has two USB3.0 ports on the side....do they have 5Gbps speeds ?

Let me preface this to say that currently IMO the best, most secure in terms of data loss, and cheapest (even free) options for storage are in "the cloud". With that said…. Years ago I was introduced to the world of "NAS" by a cheap little device called a DNS-323. It was amazing. It supported...
