    Did I Win the Worst SSD Lottery?

    Hey all, I picked up at T430 from a buddy whose company no longer needed it after moving to cloud servers. The system was in production up to the day he gave it to me. The only thing he did was remove the drives. I purchased 4, brand new Samsung Evo 870s from NewEgg and installed them in the...

    ISO H700 RAID Controller and 3.5" Backplane

    I need to upgrade the storage in my r710 at my house, but unfortunately it only has the Perc 6i controller, and will only accept maximum 2Tb drives. The H700 will work, but it uses a different interface with the HDD Backplane, so that will need to be upgraded too. This is the 3.5" drive model...

    Logitech MX Master 3 Driving Me Out of My Mind

    Got the MX Master 3 running on my Windows 10 machine. OS and mouse drivers updated fully. The mouse seemingly "goes to sleep" after 1 second of inactivity. If I keep moving it, scrolling, etc. it works absolutely flawlessly. No input lag, nothing. But, if I stop moving for more than a second at...

    Hey all, looking for some used drives. I'm trying to rebuild my Plex server and trying to be pretty conservative with costs if I can. I'm looking for 4 drives that will give me a total of 16Tb or more of storage space. If I can get matching drives, I'll end up putting them in a RAID 10, but...

    WTB: Ring Doorbell Parts

    Hey guys. My parent's Ring Doorbell stopped charging off of the hardwire. Appears as if some water got in and corroded the charging circuit. It still charges off of USB. I'm thinking I can replace the corroded board and I should be good. Wondering if any of you have and old/broken one that...

    Hey all, I'm so out of the loop on new phones, and have literally no idea where to start. I'm currently on a Google Pixel 2. Honestly, I LOVE the phone.

    ASUS UHD B286HK Lag?

    Hey guys, figured I'd see if you guys had any input for me. I've got an ASUS UHD4K2K (Model B286HK) that my brother hated, so he gave it to me. He hated it because it was "laggy" and borderline unusable. Right now, I couldn't find a Displayport to Displayport cord, so I'm connected via HDMI...

    Win 7 CD Key is "Flagged" and MS won't help...

    So, the other day, my laptop started asking me to activate (which I thought was weird, because it took my CD upon installation without a problem). So, I went through the activation process last night. It went to the "Installation ID" process, which I did via their automated phone system. It told...
