I want to get a Blu ray drive to rip 4k HDR BluRays (Whatever the latest and greatest standard is) and burn Bluray XL disks (100 or 128). I'm currently comparing the LG WH16NS60 and the LG WH16NS40, So far the only difference I can see is that the 60 has 4K in the specs but the 40 seems to have all the same read and write specs. Is the only difference updated marketing or is there a critical difference I am missing here?

I'm learning how FreeNAS works, but just wanted to clear something up. I understand that the drives in a VDev can't be changed, and that VDevs make up the ZPool. I understand that if a VDev fails the entire ZPool fails and all data is lost. And I understand that not having redundancy and losing a striped drive in a VDev will cause that VDev to fail. However, if the RAID array is setup for redundancy there is a way to save the data, and I get that there is a way to rebuild data from something like RAID6 (Z2) but I'm not going to get into anything that complex with my first build. If there are just two drives that are RAID 1 and mirrored in a single VDev in the ZPool, and one of them fails, what happens? Does the NAS stop working or will it allow you to use the drive that isn't dead until the other is replaced? Is it as simple as replacing the drive and there's an option in the web GUI or a command to rebuild the data from the good old drive to the new one? I'm not very familiar with RAID in general, in a simple mirrored setup like this can you just connect the drive to a normal desktop and extract the data? Or does it HAVE to be read in a RAID array connected to another replaced drive?

I had an external toshiba canvio basics usb 3.0 750gb hard disk which i converted to an internal drive, as it was already 4 or 5 years old i noticed games that were installed on the drive were having sudden fps drops. I also run crystaldiskinfo and hd tune and the drive seemed to be dying, hd tune showed 7 damaged legends. I bought a new drive and replaced this old one. Not knowing many things about hard drives etc. I just unpluged the toshiba drive and connected the new one. I forgot then that I had some music files which i wanted to keep from the old drive ( the old toshiba drive was accessing files slowly but surely when i had installed it in the pc ). Then i reassembled the external drive , which means i put it back in its case and connected it into the adapter from sata/sata power to usb 3.0 that the case had internally. I tried connecting then the now external drive to my pc to get these files , windows at first recognized the drive as "local disk E" then the file explorer had the green bar loading when i connected the drive. But when the green bar reached almost at the end the drive would disconnect and reconnect and start from the beggining. Sometimes I also get a pop up from the notifications that the usb device isnt recognized/working properly. When Im trying to check the drive it says it has 0 out of 0 bytes. I also attempted to chkdsk /f E: and it failed cause the file format was RAW. I also tried connecting the drive again internaly but the pc would be much slower when opening ( even though the OS is in the ssd ) and it would check the E disk for error and repair ( this would take 1 second ). Every program that was associated with that disk would not respond , for example the file explorer of windows would not respond the disk management , crystaldiskinfo , hd tune and the eassos recovery program which i found would not respond too.Programs work properly when the disk disconnects itself like i mentioned. Disk I "executed" the disk as it was at its final moments? Do I have an option to save some files? Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for the essay

Hi there! My question has most assuredly been asked before, yet i cant seem to find the soloution. Which is why im asking here :-) I recently bought a 250gb m.2 SSD, with the intent to simply clone my current OS drive (120gb ssd) to it. I have very much managed to do so, but not with the result i was hoping for. My problem however, is that the 250gb SSD get separated into two partions - one with every file from the old SSD (all good), and another, left to be allocated/formatted. So my question is, how do clone my old drive to the new drive without having the new drive being split into two?

I recently bought a Samsung 850 Evo for my macbook pro from 2012. My mac does have sata 3, which means the ssd is getting the full 6 gbps. The rated speeds for this ssd is a read speed of 540 mbps and a write speed of 520 mbps. However, I get extremely low scores for write speed when I test the disk using blackmagic's software. I reportedly get from 300 - 485 mbps, which is not as high as 520 mbps. All apps were closed when the disk test was run. The read speeds are normal while the write speeds are very low. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi I have new Ryzen 1700 build on Asus x370 prime pro I have a m.2 ssd from another laptop. When I insert the ssd into the x370 mono, the bios/windows boots slower. I can't see the ssd in bios. I can see the ssd in windows as Unknown device. It can't be initialize any way, thrue disk part, disk manager, other third party programs. There is no volume in it. I tried to clean it several times with disk part but it doesn't help. I have tried to rebuild the MBR but it didn't help either. Any ideas? Thank you, also I search on google but only things that I can find is people with unknown drives with unallocated volumes. (This ssd doesn't have unallocated volume) Thanks.

Hey guys, So I got this laptop a while ago and it has had the 100% disk load error since purchase (approx 9 months). I have tried everything thing I can find online to fix it with no success. I'm not sure what else to do but it is has been really bugging me lately as it is a fairly good laptop but feels like a junkyard laptop. Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

So, I added a new ssd in my build and I can't access my games that are on my hdd. I have a 120gb ssd and 550gb of stuff (mostly games) on my HDD, and I can't access them. For me, it's a big deal (cuz I can't game) and I didn't find any video or post on the internet that tackles this issue. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! -
Hey! So I got my SSD to boot up after I clone my HDD to it. Booted up normally and looks fine, but when I go to my file explorer I can't find my HDD, same with Disk Management. I only see my SSD. When I go to the BIOS, I can see it on the boot priority menu. So, I decided to boot from my HDD and it works fine, no missing files and no damages. So, what happened when I boot from SSD? Anyone can help? EDIT! THANKS FOR ANYONE WHO HELPED ME DURING THIS PROCESS OF MIGRATING MY HDD TO SSD! FINALLY GOT THE THING TO WORK NOW, I JUST NEEDED TO PLUG THE SATA CABLE TO THE OTHER PORT AND GOT IT WORKING. HOPEFULLY THERE'S NO MORE FUTHER PROBLEMS! THANKS YOU GUYS!

I could have sworn that Linus did a video a while ago about how to backup/rip movies and media from optical disks like DVDs or Blurays onto harddrives. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, I want to ask if anyone has a good tutorial or can explain how in the comments. I eventually want to just have movies that I legally buy backed up onto my future NAS so i can watch them on my HTPC. Thanks for your help! TL;DR: How do you backup/Rip Movies from disks to say a NAS?

So I installed Avira, an antivirus solution I have used for years, and it's using 100% of my disk, and it's quite slow now.

Just something that caught my attention and doesn't make sense to me "Wipe Free Disk Space limitations CCleaner can't wipe every deleted file from your free disk space. There are some limitations, because of the way Windows stores some files. Here are some examples: The file has been overwritten by another file (so no need to overwrite this again) But it's not free disk space if it's in use?.. The file had been overwritten by another file before you ran CCleaner, but the second file has now been deleted as well. Can someone explain this? The file was created almost exactly when you ran CCleaner." Obviously...

Recently, my hard disk drive went through a crash. After rebooting, I discovered that the boot order was wrong and I had to boot to the UEFI drive (which, incidently, was the one that crashed. I don't exactly know what a drive labelled "UEFI" entails). After booting, Windows started up Automatic Repair and took a while before i selected "Exit and boot into Windows 10". It booted fine, but it took nearly 10 minutes total. I can't remember what the error code was. I don't think it's a virus, so is my hard drive failing? Do I need to replace it with an SSD? I don't know what to do, I'm very unsure. Please help!

Hi! So I'm having this problem with my hard drive. It basically is my hard drive blacking out for couple of seconds. I have a mechanical 1T hard drive. My disk usage goes to 100% and nothing works. Task manager shows some very slow speeds of 0.2 MB/s when the thing happens. Does this mean that I have to buy a new hard drive? Can I fix this? I don't even have a backup drive anywhere... The drive is about maybe 2 years old I'm not sure and a lot of deleting and getting new files has been done. And IF I need a new drive I'm wishing of getting something pretty fast but still something with a lot of storage. Any suggestions? :^) I hope someone can help me!

Can you configure raid 5 and keep files currently on one of the drives so that the second disk inserted just mirrors the current disk with files or is this not possible and both disks have to be empty when configuring a raid?

Just a quick question: Why are my Crystal Disk Mark scores so high? I have a Samsung 850 Evo I'm having amazing scores, especially on read performance (not upset with that, just curious): other 850 Evo scores onilne are more like this: I have 3 hypothesis: 1) I did the test wrong 2) Samsung Magician (RAPID mode enabled) is doing something to boost the performance 3) Intel Rapid Storage is doing something to boost the performance I remember setting up some kind of cache thing in the past (either in windows itself or the two previously mentioned programs) but I can't remember what program it was in and I can't find anything about it in the Samsung or Intel programs. Is the cache thing affecting my scores? Is this showing real world performance, or is it just loading in the cache?

Hi there, I work on a Mac and have two backup disks, one for my TimeMachine and the other for personal files, but I've been thinking about how vulnerable these files are just on the disks and on the computer and how easy it is for these devices to get stollen or broken. Is there any kind of Cloud Backup software you use? Do you recommend the use these kinds of apps? Please let me know, Thanks!

I have two main drives: My SSD that contains Windows (and a few programs) and my HDD, which contains most of my games and applications that I use in Windows. I plan on installing El Capitan on a partition of the HDD. However, I need to change the HDD to GPT in order to install it. If I change the entire HDD to GPT, will Windows still be able to read and use the contents of the partition properly? I can change it to GPT without losing contents using AOMEI Partition Assistant, but I don't know if I can access those files after. -
Which Disk Imaging software to use? (HDD/SSD)
TheGuyNL posted a topic in Programs, Apps and Websites
Hey guys, My SSD is acting up and I think it's going to die, so time to make a full image to be prepared when the time comes. Could you guys suggest me some good programs to create a full disk image of my SSD? (Either free or paid) Would like it to have support for incremental backups to save some space, as I plan to keep using it for up-to-date backups. Automatic backup jobs would be nice too. So, any suggestions? Thanks in advance! -
so i have a ramdisk using softperfect, i have 24gb of ram with another 24 on the way will be here soon. right now i am using only 4gb for the disk but will probably allocate another 4gb total 8gb. i have TEMP and TMP folders as well as the chrome cache in there, it helps greatly with popcorntime and is surely saving my SSD's limited number of write cycles....question is since i am using it anyways, what other uses can i get out of this with the understanding that the system is volatile so, in other words, what else can i feed through there that likely wont matter to me if i lose it? i dont want to be installing programs to it and i dont intend to save the disk contents to an image. any suggestions on speeding this thing up? general purpose workstation and gaming rig as well as media center mostly used for gaming but occasional autocad ptc creo and similar programs and occasional VM's running different flavors of linux.
