Once again, I'm NOT asking how to change the sorting... I'm asking how to edit a specific file property!

Yes, I get how to sort by a particular property (name, date, etc.), that's not what I'm asking. I'm trying to figure out how to actually edit the Sort Title property of the files, so I can choose that property to sort by.

I'm trying to get all my Blu-ray rips (.mkv files) organized, which of course, the normal Windows Explorer sorting rules makes a chore. It doesn't logically sort alphabetically like you would think it should (doesn't ignore minor articles like "the" and "a" when they're the first word, it doesn't properly count Roman numerals, and it sorts spaces before no character). I see there is a "Sort Title" file property that Explorer can sort by, but I can't figure out how to edit that property. I've been using MetaX to edit my videos' metadata, and it does have a sort by tag for name, artist, etc., but apparently it sets a different tag than what Explorer reads as Sort Title because the Sort Title tag is still blank after editing the sort name in MetaX. Can anyone tell me how this Sort Title property can be edited?

No, I want RAID. 600GB is just not enough for a drive; hell, two of them aren't enough. I only mentioned that as a troubleshooting step I had already tried. I do plan on buying a new drive soonish, but because I want to upgrade to an NVMe M.2 drive, not because I expect my drives to fail...

I just got my new ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Formula, Ryzen 7 5800X, 32GB of Crucial Ballistix Max 4,000 MHz installed into my system (the last major pieces of a rolling upgrade to my ten-year old X58 system, making it an almost all new system except for the drives). After spending about a half hour figuring out how to get it to boot from the Windows 10 install USB media (why doesn't it just boot from the USB by default?), I can't get the Windows installer to recognize the RAID 0 array I've setup using the two Intel 320 SSDs. As I said, these are the last pieces of the original system, and were the same drives that I had Windows installed on prior to upgrading. I didn't reformat or wipe them before rebuilding, I just figured the array wouldn't be recoginzed by the new system (especially going from an Intel RAID controller to an AMD one), and the drives could just be reformatted during the Windows install. Anyway, when I setup the RAID 0 array in the ASUS BIOS using the RaidXpert2 utility in the BIOS, it seems to report that the array is properly created (it shows the two 600GB drives as one 1.1 TB array), but then when I start the Windows 10 install and get to the step to choose which drive to install to, the list is empty. If I go back and change the SATA configuration in the BIOS to AHCI, the Windows installer then recoginzes both drives as separate drives, but it still won't let me install to either of them, saying they are configured as master boot record, and a system using a UEFI must install Windows to a GPT drive. I'm at a loss here, and could really use some help!

Umm... huh?! Is this your first day on the tech industry internet?! OF COURSE manufacturers send out early review samples to the media and reviewers...

Thank you. That explains it a lot better. I looked up the spec sheet, and you're right, the controller is only PCIe 2.0 x2. So basically, they're lying in their marketing, because it can't possibly achieve USB 3.1 speeds. Is this just a cheap card, or is this typical of most USB 3.1 expansion cards?

The expansion card is an x4 interface, which I believe is 2 GB/s, which I think equates to 16 Gb/s? The issue I'm having is weather these numbers are all using the decimal prefixes (1000 MB in a GB) or the traditional binary prefixes (1024 MB in a GB).

I was in Micro Center recently, and came across a USB 3.1 PCIe expansion card (USB 3.2 gen 2 that is, the 10 Gb/s one... I share Linus' frustration with the ridiculous and endless renaming of the USB standards...) and decided to buy it on a whim, as it was only $28 and my old computer only has USB 3.0 ports. I knew that it might not work with my old x58 motherboard with only PCIe 2.0. The card is made for PCIe 3.0 x4. But then I started looking up the speeds of PCIe, and I'm not sure I'm understanding what I'm finding. USB 3.1 is 10 Gb/s, and Wikipedia says a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface has a throughput of 3,938.5 MB/s, and a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface is 2 GB/s, but I'm not sure how that converts to Gb/s. I'm using the Windows 10 calculator's data conversion tool, but I'm not sure if I should be converting to gigabytes or gibibytes; wasn't there some change in the definition of the traditional data prefixes of kilo/mega/giga/etc? Can someone help me determine if this expansion card will work in my old PC using a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface without bottlenecking the USB 3.1 10 Gb/s interface? This is the card I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013FDFGTI/ref=twister_B01EOHXDY4?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 Sorry if this is in the wrong subforum; this didn't seem to fit into any of the forum categories.

Total bullshit! I refuse to download a program if it exists on physical media. I absolutely hate this trend of forcing digital download down our throats for everything from software to movies and TV shows. There is nothing good about it, the quality is inferior for movies and TV shows, and it only takes away control form the consumer. You're at the mercy of whatever corporation "sells" you their product digitally; they can take it down anytime they want and you're screwed. That game you paid $60 for? Well Microsoft decided to remove it from their online store meaning you can't use it anymore and you're out that 60 bucks. Why the hell should I pay full retail price for something that I will not actually own?

If they're already working on the next Xbox, it had better be at least three years out. It's far too soon for the next generation right now. And they better not be thinking about omitting a disc drive; they can go screw themselves as far as I'm concerned if they're going to force us to use digital download for everything!

That's comparing apples to oranges. The proper comparison would be between the 1080 Ti and the 2080, and the Titan Xp and 2080 Ti. The 2080 Ti is filling the space in the GeForce lineup previously held by the Titans. The Titans are now part of the professional lineup with the Quadros.

But that's not wrong. That's how the RTX Quadros are.

And how can you know that yet? WHY do people keep insisting that SLI is dead?! Nothing could be further from the truth!

According to the BS "rumors" that are probably made up by WCCFtech themselves, yes. Don't believe it for a second.
