I understand. I'm in the process of replacing all drives with NAS drives, particularly WD Reds

Not looking to swap out mobo.

Yeah the manufacture year was concerning for me at first. I see what you mean, thanks.

He has a Celeron G1610. I'm looking to upgrade him to an i5 2400. You posted 4460 vs 2400.

Yeah I'm torn between getting him a bigger SSD or better processor. SSD will require a lot more "work" for him to do compared to just plopping out and in processors. He's never built a computer before, so the easier the upgrade for him to do..the better.

Under $100 for a processor

It would be a gift from me. He uses it primarily for MOBA gaming (LoL).

I made a build for a good friend a few years ago using a Celeron G1610. Looking to upgrade him to an i5 2400. Even though it's an older quad core, will it be worthwhile?

It was initially connected externally from a 4 bay enclosure via eSATA. I moved it inside my case and the readings were from inside the case.

I guess I didn't mean hide at all. I meant not load.

Or not. Work isn't the only application for this feature request. People with lower Internet speeds or personal preference are also valid reasons.

It'd be cool to have a "work mode" in the Settings. Here are some things it could do: Hide all avatars/user pictures Hide all post images Hide video suggestions This could even be a theme.

Hi Captain_WD. Thanks for the explanation. After running the serial number, the drive is unfortunately out of warranty. I ran WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic quick test and it passed. I ran the extended test and it immediately failed reporting Too many bad sectors. Looks like it's time to replace the drive. Thanks again for your help!

I have a Western Digital Green (WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0) drive with a current Reallocated Sector Count higher (144) than the threshold (140). It remains at 144 after several reboots. Screenshot from CrystalDiskInfo: Is the drive on the verge of failure? I have a clone backup. I'm trying to figure out when to replace this drive. Thanks.

I want a new SSD to increase my current SSD size by running RAID 0. Everyone should have an SSD in their system because the entry price point is now affordable compared to years ago.
