Thready

ah. Thank you. These naming schemes get confusing.

It doesn't have that numbering but that's just the number I used as I don't know the official size but it's the same size as a 2280 m.2. It's mSATA as it says on the part.

the mSATA drive in my laptop died. It uses a 2280 sized mSATA drive, but I can't seem to find that form factor mSATA anymore as it's probably obsolete. So I was thinking of installing a smaller mSATA, but the laptop doesn't have the screw hole for the smaller size. So would electronic repair tape work to hold the new drive in? The UEFI of the laptop shows everything else is working fine, but it shows no boot drive. So before recycling it, I guess I'll try this since an mSATA is only $50. The laptop has already been replaced for my work, so if this doesn't work then fine. I just would hate to throw it out for this reason.

I guess a battery powered one wouldnt work then. I use 2 SD cards and I don't delete either until my photos are backed up to my 2 backup HDDs, my Synology, and Amazon and Idrive. But I was thinking I could just dump my SD card onto an HDD maybe powered by my car's aux USB port for an extra backup after a shoot which would also make it faster loading them onto my PC since SD cards can take 10 minutes. I'm thinking of extra redundancy in the field is all.

WD has one so they exist, but WD's is expensive

I see external drives with SD readers, but they either don't have battery power or they're very expensive. I have some internal 2.5 HDDs I put in enclosures so I don't need the drives, I just need something that can I can dump my files into from an SD card and preferably one that I can power with either a battery or my car's AUX cigarette lighter port. Are those reliable to power electronics?

ohhhh crap how do I tell? I just look at the stars of both the product and seller

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I have some critical photography ($3,000 gig) coming up and I use a dual slot A7III camera, and I have 4 64GB memory cards, and I'll be using 2 at a time, but they're all about a year old and I've used them casually, writing and deleting maybe 20 GB per month on them. How many write cycles would a brand name Samsung SD card last through? Online said about 100,000 cycles but I'm not sure I believe that. I figured computer people would know better than photographers.

I just bought one a week ago. I don't do much mobile computing so all of that is new to me. But since I'm traveling more then I need to brush up on mobile tech

I just looked them up. I didn't know that was a new thing Logitech was doing.

I mean minimum, not maximum. I get those 2 confused too but minimum means I don't want to spend any less than this. I want to spend at least this or more to get a good one. Wait, do I have it wrong here? Anyway I want to spend AT LEAST $30 (or 29.99) on a good one.

Oh I mean a minimum of $30. I intend on using it every day so $30 is the minimum I want to spend. I don't want a cheapo. I want quality and I think anything under $30 (or 29.99) is just too cheap. And those Logitechs seem good. I didn't know a mouse could have 2 different connectivity things in it so I figured if it had a dongle it was automatically not bluetooth

Is there a mouse without a dongle, like a bluetooth mouse, that has the 2 side buttons and is a nice, name brand? I don't want the cheap ones. Like $30 at least. I bought a new laptop and it only has 1 usb port so I don't want that to be used by the mouse. I can't seem to find a name brand one with the side buttons. The ones with the side buttons seem to use the dongle.

Right. My bad.

This is actually perfect for me

I need a new laptop. It has to be lightweight and that's about it. No gaming. I don't know when back to school shopping starts, but I would like to get one when it does, as I am hoping they will be cheaper. Is there a place where I can buy last year's tech? Like a new laptop from 2019?

thank you. I shall do it

I tried downloading that but Malwarebytes doesn't let me open the page. Is the page the altavista page or am I at the wrong page?

I need a way to monitor my photography and automatically copy it to 2 backup drives on the same PC. I tried using Freefilesync and it's program called real time sync, but I don't know command line stuff. When I google it, there seems to be thousands of programs. I'm lost.

I have a S21 so that should work

I have a lot of movies on my PC but I would like to watch them on my phone in bed. Is there a way to stream them from my PC to my phone if they're on the same network?

I need something for Windows (and also something for Android if you know of) That can put my photos into a black square for sharing on Instagram. I have some 16:9 photography and Instagram doesn't display those well in my profile, and I noticed that some bigger accounts put their widescreen images into a black square so they show the full image when someone looks at my profile. Preferrably something drag and drop, I don't want to mess with Photoshop for each image as that is time consuming. And I don't mind a bump down in quality since it's for instagram. Does that even make sense? I don't know how to explain it. Thanks.

Budget is $600. I need an ultrawide with good color and contrast. It doesn't have to be perfect as those monitors run thousands and I don't have that budget, and my photography doesn't have to be 1:1 perfect color. But I'm not looking for a gaming monitor as I notice they compromise on color to keep price down. I have 2 monitors and I need more desk space and I need a uniform display as both monitors are very different. I like having my browser open while editing, so I would like it to be double the width of 1 monitor.

My new name is Vic_Vinegar
