Here is the truth: This from nearly 40 years of experience....
 
Do whatever makes money. Doesn't matter if you dislike the job. Just do it, and have enough integrity to do the job properly.
 
Compartmentalize your life, and realize that 'yes, I don't like the job... but when I am not at work I have enough to do what I want.'

It is very hard to go wrong with Samsung SSD. However, the 256GB Samsung EVO is around 150USD.
 
The Crucial MX100 256GB is probably the closest to your price range.

Welcome to the Forum!!! :lol:
 
You might want to move this to the Troubleshooting sub forum.
 
It can be a number of different problems.
 
The first one I can think of is malware or a virus. Run an antivirus scan.
 
Run windows update.
 
If not Check the USB storage driver.
 
Connect the USB storage device.
Run Serviwin.
Click View->Drivers
Scroll to USBSTOR.
Verify StartupType=Manual and Status=Started
If StartupType= Disabled, rt click to change it to Manual.
Reboot
 
Try reinstalling the USB Controllers and Motherboard Chipset Drivers.
 
Is it a laptop or desktop? do you hove access to another place to connect the devices to ensure their working order?
 
A more unconventional method is to completely shut off your system, including unplugging from the wall, and removing laptotp batteries.
Unplug all I/O devices and let it sit for an hour or two. I have no idea how this works, but I have had success on multiple occasions with this. It has also failed to achieve anything on a few occasions.
 
If all else fails a system restore or a fresh installation of windows.

Yeah, i had my eye on that one if i couldn't find anything else. Thanks bro!

MicroGear Scroll Wheel:
 
A proprietary Logitech scroll wheel technology that assists users in being able to better scroll with their mouse. MicroGear Scroll Wheel enables free-spin scrolling as well as click-to-click scrolling. In contrast to other scroll wheels, mice with MicroGear Scroll Wheel have a refined click-to-click ratcheting and mechanical rotational sensors have been replaced with high-precision optics designed to boost scrolling accuracy. The MicroGear Precision Scroll Wheel from Logitech operates in two distinct modes;
 
Free-spin mode: the ratchet-scrolling mechanism retracts, allowing the wheel to spin for up to seven seconds, providing hyper-fast, nearly frictionless long-distance scrolling.
Click-to-click mode: the wheel allows users to navigate small distances with great precision, such as individual spreadsheet rows, or small
vertical distances in a document or Web page.
 
There are a few other manufacturers that have similar designs, but none are quite as good as the ones from Logitech. 

Logitech M560 can be had for about 20 dollars USD, has the microgear scroll wheel, and is 800dpi.
 

go to the search prompt and type CMD. Hold the left shift key and click cmd.exe. This will open command prompt as administrator.
 
while in this window - reboot the modem and wait for it to sync up. A lot of modems (especially cable modems) will not allow a new mac address to connect to the network if they are not familiar with the MAC address of the end device.
 
in the command prompt type the following commands:
 
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release all
ipconfig /renew all
 
in theory this should get you up and running. report back if it does not.
 
also please post the modem, and router make and model. that will be helpful.

Some will be annoyed, some would have an eargasm. But yeah I kind of agree that annoying those around you with a mechanical keyboard may not be the best way to make friends and influence people.

Holy BS Effects Batman... turn that garbage off. You have the treble cranked all the way up, as well as the bass. Are you trying to give yourself hearing loss?

high speed cameras often have very low resolutions. Part of getting the speed out of the camera is running smaller resolution and HUGE amounts of light.

damn replace that mobo
 
you should be going for at least the 970 chipset
 
or get the 990FX chipset based mobos
 
drop to 8GB of RAM

Use plenty of lube... at least that is what my Grandfather always used to tell me.

I find the S2340M to be one hell of a bargain. Brightness, Color, Contrast are all amazing... there is a bit of glare as it is a glossy screen. I feel that Dell did a good job of keeping the glare down as much as possible. If glare is such a big deal to you - photodon.com makes custom anti-glare film. Something like 35 dollars for the basic film all the way up to 50ish for the specialty films.

802.11-1997 (802.11 legacy)
  Main article: IEEE 802.11 (legacy mode) The original version of the standard IEEE 802.11 was released in 1997 and clarified in 1999, but is today obsolete. It specified two net bit rates of 1 or 2 megabits per second (Mbit/s), plus forward error correction code. It specified three alternative physical layertechnologies: diffuse infrared operating at 1 Mbit/s; frequency-hopping spread spectrum operating at 1 Mbit/s or 2 Mbit/s; and direct-sequence spread spectrum operating at 1 Mbit/s or 2 Mbit/s. The latter two radio technologies used microwave transmission over theIndustrial Scientific Medical frequency band at 2.4 GHz. Some earlier WLAN technologies used lower frequencies, such as the U.S. 900 MHz ISM band.
Legacy 802.11 with direct-sequence spread spectrum was rapidly supplanted and popularized by 802.11b.
 
 
802.11a (OFDM Waveform)
 
Main article: IEEE 802.11a-1999
Originally described as clause 17 of the 1999 specification, the OFDM waveform at 5.8 GHz is now defined in clause 18 of the 2012 specification and provides protocols that allow transmission and reception of data at rates of 1.5 to 54Mbit/s. It has seen widespread worldwide implementation, particularly within the corporate workspace. While the original amendment is no longer valid, the term "802.11a" is still used by wireless access point (cards and routers) manufacturers to describe interoperability of their systems at 5.8 GHz, 54Mbit/s.
The 802.11a standard uses the same data link layer protocol and frame format as the original standard, but an OFDM based air interface (physical layer). It operates in the 5 GHz band with a maximum net data rate of 54 Mbit/s, plus error correction code, which yields realistic net achievable throughput in the mid-20 Mbit/s.[10]
Since the 2.4 GHz band is heavily used to the point of being crowded, using the relatively unused 5 GHz band gives 802.11a a significant advantage. However, this high carrier frequency also brings a disadvantage: the effective overall range of 802.11a is less than that of 802.11b/g. In theory, 802.11a signals are absorbed more readily by walls and other solid objects in their path due to their smaller wavelength and, as a result, cannot penetrate as far as those of 802.11b. In practice, 802.11b typically has a higher range at low speeds (802.11b will reduce speed to 5.5 Mbit/s or even 1 Mbit/s at low signal strengths). 802.11a also suffers from interference,[11] but locally there may be fewer signals to interfere with, resulting in less interference and better throughput.
 
 
802.11b
  Main article: IEEE 802.11b-1999 The 802.11b standard has a maximum raw data rate of 11 Mbit/s and uses the same media access method defined in the original standard. 802.11b products appeared on the market in early 2000, since 802.11b is a direct extension of the modulation technique defined in the original standard. The dramatic increase in throughput of 802.11b (compared to the original standard) along with simultaneous substantial price reductions led to the rapid acceptance of 802.11b as the definitive wireless LAN technology.
Devices using 802.11b experience interference from other products operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Devices operating in the 2.4 GHz range include microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors, cordless telephones and some amateur radio equipment.
 
 
802.11g
  Main article: IEEE 802.11g-2003 In June 2003, a third modulation standard was ratified: 802.11g. This works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b), but uses the same OFDM based transmission scheme as 802.11a. It operates at a maximum physical layer bit rate of 54 Mbit/s exclusive of forward error correction codes, or about 22 Mbit/s average throughput.[12] 802.11g hardware is fully backward compatible with 802.11b hardware and therefore is encumbered with legacy issues that reduce throughput when compared to 802.11a by ~21%.[citation needed]
The then-proposed 802.11g standard was rapidly adopted by consumers starting in January 2003, well before ratification, due to the desire for higher data rates as well as to reductions in manufacturing costs. By summer 2003, most dual-band 802.11a/b products became dual-band/tri-mode, supporting a and b/g in a single mobile adapter card or access point. Details of making b and g work well together occupied much of the lingering technical process; in an 802.11g network, however, activity of an 802.11b participant will reduce the data rate of the overall 802.11g network.
Like 802.11b, 802.11g devices suffer interference from other products operating in the 2.4 GHz band, for example wireless keyboards.
802.11-2007[edit]
In 2003, task group TGma was authorized to "roll up" many of the amendments to the 1999 version of the 802.11 standard. REVma or 802.11ma, as it was called, created a single document that merged 8 amendments (802.11a, b, d, e, g, h, i, j) with the base standard. Upon approval on March 8, 2007, 802.11REVma was renamed to the then-current base standard IEEE 802.11-2007.[13]
 
 
802.11n
  Main article: IEEE 802.11n-2009 802.11n is an amendment which improves upon the previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output antennas (MIMO). 802.11n operates on both the 2.4 GHz and the lesser used 5 GHz bands. Support for 5 GHz bands is optional. It operates at a maximum net data rate from 54 Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s. The IEEE has approved the amendment and it was published in October 2009.[14][15] Prior to the final ratification, enterprises were already migrating to 802.11n networks based on the Wi-Fi Alliance's certification of products conforming to a 2007 draft of the 802.11n proposal.
802.11-2012[edit]
In 2007, task group TGmb was authorized to "roll up" many of the amendments to the 2007 version of the 802.11 standard. REVmb or 802.11mb, as it was called, created a single document that merged ten amendments (802.11k, r, y, n, w, p, z, v, u, s) with the 2007 base standard. In addition much cleanup was done, including a reordering of many of the clauses.[16] Upon publication on March 29, 2012, the new standard was referred to as IEEE 802.11-2012.
 
 
802.11ac
  Main article: IEEE 802.11ac IEEE 802.11ac-2013 is an amendment to IEEE 802.11, published in December 2013, that builds on 802.11n.[17] Changes compared to 802.11n include wider channels (80 or 160 MHz versus 40 MHz) in the 5 GHz band, more spatial streams (up to eight versus four), higher order modulation (up to 256-QAM vs. 64-QAM), and the addition of Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO). As of October 2013, high-end implementations support 80 MHz channels, three spatial streams, and 256-QAM, yielding a data rate of up to 433.3 Mbit/s per spatial stream, 1300 Mbit/s total, in 80 MHz channels in the 5 GHz band.[18] Vendors have announced plans to release so-called "Wave 2" devices with support for 160 MHz channels, four spatial streams, and MU-MIMO in 2014 and 2015.[19][20][21]
 
 
802.11ad
 
Main article: IEEE 802.11ad IEEE 802.11ad is an amendment that defines a new physical layer for 802.11 networks to operate in the 60 GHz millimeter wave spectrum. This frequency band has significantly different propagation characteristics than the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands where Wi-Finetworks operate. Products implementing the 802.11ad standard are being brought to market under the WiGig brand name. The certification program is now being developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance instead of the now defunct WiGig Alliance.[22] The peak transmission rate of 802.11ad is 7Gbit/s.[23]
 
 
802.11af
  Main article: IEEE 802.11af IEEE 802.11af, also referred to as "White-Fi" and "Super Wi-Fi",[24] is an amendment, approved in February 2014, that allows WLAN operation in TV white space spectrum in the VHF and UHF bands between 54 and 790 MHz.[6][25] It uses cognitive radio technology to transmit on unused TV channels, with the standard taking measures to limit interference for primary users, such as analog TV, digital TV, and wireless microphones.[25] Access points and stations determine their position using a satellite positioning system such as GPSand use the Internet to query a geolocation database (GDB) provided by a regional regulatory agency to discover what frequency channels are available for use at a given time and position.[25] The physical layer uses OFDM and is based on 802.11ac.[26] The propagation path loss as well as the attenuation by materials such as brick and concrete is lower in the UHF and VHF bands than in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, which increases the possible range.[25] The frequency channels are 6 to 8 MHz wide, depending on the regulatory domain.[25] Up to four channels may be bonded in either one or two contiguous blocks.[25] MIMO operation is possible with up to four streams used for either space–time block code (STBC) or multi-user (MU) operation.[25] The achievable data rate per spatial stream is 26.7 Mbit/s for 6 and 7 MHz channels and 35.6 Mbit/s for 8 MHz channels.[27] With four spatial streams and four bonded channels, the maximum data rate is 426.7 Mbit/s for 6 and 7 MHz channels and 568.9 Mbit/s for 8 MHz channels.[27]

I have found this to be a very valuable tool. Just plug in the required hardware and click the 'calculate' button.

This is also very true... and you can clean it without it scratching.

There is a very real advantage to glass.  
 
It doesnt stain, and heat doesnt cause it to crack.
