So I got an old PC and decided to make it a file server. Before I just had a USB hard drive connected to my Asus router. Worked well, but it took a while to show everything on other devices because of the slow hard ware on it. Anyway, I got the PC up and running, put in two hard drives and two USB drives. Currently I am only using one USB and I shared it with the share option with the right click (Windows 7 Pro) but now, I cannot write to it from anything. I've tried two Windows PCs (7 Pro and 8.1 Pro, a Android phone using ES File Viewer and A Linux computer) It says "You need permission to perform this action" I've look through the computer that is sharing it and I haven't found anything to allow me. Help Please :c

Hi off-topic peoples. I'm looking for a meme. Specifically, the one with the american revolution era looking guy squinting at a piece of parchment then looking up with a "WTF did I just read?" look on his face. I don't think that's what the caption usually is, but I can't remember, so I thought I'd ask. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

I was looking into getting a ~250GB SSD for my rig, and I am stuck between the A-Data SP900 and Samsung 840 Evo. From what I can tell, the SP900 is just as good as the 840 Evo, and it's much cheaper. They both have about ~550mb/s read speeds and ~530mb/s write speeds. Does anyone know the quality of the flash chips used in the SP900? My guess is they can make it cheaper than the 840 Evo because they are probably using "lower end" nand flash chips and will likely die before the 840. But, I haven't really looked into it, so I have no clue. They both use the SandForce controller, so they are equal there. I have heard that the 840 pretty much the best, if not the best 2.5" SSD you can buy. So should I go with what is considered "the best", or go with the A-Data that looks just as good?

Long story short: for my next build I want to have a 120(128)GB boot drive with core programs for fast booting and app loading of coarse, and then I would have a 1TB HDD as my secondary drive that I would keep all my games on. I'm coming close to finalizing all the parts for my PC and I found that I picked a little too cheap (I had a $1500 budget and total is only around $1325). I originally had picked an 120gb samsung 840 evo ssd and a wd blue 1tb drive. I looked around and found that the samsung 840 pro 128gb ssd is only $40 more on most sites because it is currently on sale (about $40 less than usual price), and I found that a 1TB WD Black drive is only $30 more than a wd blue. This would only increase my total to about $1400, but are these upgrades worth it, or should the money be put towards a better motherboard, ram, cpu cooler, or GPU? Is the performance that much of a difference? I don't really care if my pc boots in 3 seconds compared to 5 but the pro series reliability would be nice, and the black drives are also more reliable and of higher quality, but I don't think that it would load games much faster. What do you guys think? Also I'm sticking with samsung for the ssd, and WD for the HDD, I've had crucial, intel and corsair ssd's and they all failed at least once and I've only heard good things about samsung, and every build i've had has had a WD HDD and i've never ever had any problems with them. That story wasn't too shot, lol. I added a poll for fun, choose wisely, I will take it into account if there's enough voters.

I have a netgear router, i saved the settings of the router into a .bin file. I want to be able to access the bin file without having to load up the actual file on the router. I just want to see the settings that i had when i backed up that specific save. When i try to open the .bin file it looks like alien hieroglyphics. I want to be able to read the settings i had in that file. Help me please.

I recently read an excellent book called 'But How Do It Know?' by J. Clark Scott" which introduces the basics of computing (starting with the premise of bits and bytes, and quickly moving into how they can be used in computers for extraordinarily complex tasks). Unlike many textbooks, he doesn't just give definitions and examples, but walks the reader through the subject in way that confers a full understanding of the material. I highly recommend this book to anyone not in the computer science field (myself) and also to younger people (high school, college) who have a curiosity or interest in computing/technology. It's a very easy read, although I'm used to research journals, and Scott does an excellent job of first explaining things with real-world analogies before diving into the deep end. This kept me interested and able to follow the logic throughout the book. The book clarified many things for me and I feel its a must read for everyone given our technological advancements, which would otherwise seem magical. Even if you know how to build PCs or overclock, you may find that you don't fully understand the fundamental basics of computing, which is exactly what this book addresses. I will also recommend a short video to those who are too lazy to read (FYI, the book is just as effective as this video!): . It effectively walks you through how the a CPU works and I found it to be a good complementary source to this book. Enjoy! :) If you've read or saw some good tech-related material, please share your resources so we can all learn!

These two SSD's have similar read speeds with the cheaper one having a slower write speed: SSD 1 - Slower Write Speed - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/240gb-crucial-m500-25-6gb-s-internal-ssd-slim-7mm-500mb-s-read-250mb-s-write SSD 2 - Faster Write Speed - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/240gb-corsair-force-series-3-ssd-25-sata-6gb-s-sandforce-ssd-read-550mb-s-write-520mb-s-85k-iops Is it worth going for the cheaper one? Thanks, Blueprint

Just out of curiosity. Take a regular SATA hard drive with 64 MB Cache if that matters at all, to reach the same read and/or write speed as a Kingston HyperX 3K - 550 MB/s Read and 510 MB/s.

My Storage isn't letting me write stuff fast enough
randomgaming61 posted a topic in Storage Devices
So I have a 1TB WD Blue and it's too slow for my 4770k @ 4.4GHZ along with CUDA acceleration because when I'm rendering or compressing a video and look at task manager it's says disk is at 100% usage and CPU is only 30-65% usage and ram is only 25-55% usage. It's even like that without CUDA. I want to make the most out of my PC so I was wondering if I can just buy a 64gb ssd and use that to cache my current hard drive or will just buying the seagate ST1000DX001 SSHD be faster performance wise and easier to set up? So please give and opinion SSHD or SSD cache. If you choose SSD cache please tell me how to use it as a cache. The reason I'm not going pure ssd is because my budget is $110 and I don't want just want 128GB of quick working space. If you have any ideas of speeding up my rendering/video editing/compressing please tell me!!! Thanks everyone for your time!!! -
so basicly id like to know what is a good read speed for an ssd (basicly id also like to know if a 480 mb/s is good)

I have a spare GA-X58A-UD5 motherboard sitting at home and I am wondering whether it will be any good as a platform for a home server, or even good enough to work off without copying files to your own machine? I would get a 4-way NIC so that my whole flat could use it. If it is worth it, what parts should I get? Here is a link to the MB specifications on the Gigabyte website: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3450#sp

Hi guys, Let's say I have two 120GB SSD's in RAID 0 (to combine both volume and speed), but I set that drive to be compressed. How would this influence read/write speeds? I copied a 5GB file there from a single SSD, and I saw it start out at 200-300MB/s, but then peter down to 50MB/s at 25% done, then kick back up to 300MB/s twice before falling back to 50MB/s. Just curious. I plan to use this drive to record gameplay video to, so I wanted to know how compressing it might affect the performance. And possibly the quality (720p24). Thanks, Vitalius

So I am getting a gtx titan and ofc it has the stock cooler which does look amazing, but if I take a non reference cooler from a 780 will it blend? I mean will it work?

Hello! About 4 years ago I build my PC and bought a Corsair Force 3(60GB) to go with it. This was back when a 60GB SSD costed $80.. Now recently I have just learned my drives were using IDE/ATA in the BIOS, thus why when running ATTO I had no write speeds over 220MB/s. Now that I have switched it over to AHCI, I am getting some impressive read speeds, but the write speeds have only a 25-100MB difference. ATTO: http://prntscr.com/43pc95 AS SSD: http://prntscr.com/43pg5h HD Tune Free 2.55: http://prntscr.com/43pgk2 The HD tune is what surprises me the most. I feel like the meter is fluctuating more an HDD would be. I've looked up the specs for the Force 3 and found it should be getting 510MB/s write. As you can tell in the pictures, I am getting nowhere near that. Could it be because of age? Or might there be something else going on? The drive was used for probably a good 6 months before I upgraded to a 120GB Intel SSD for my main drive. It was being used for storage but recently has been cleaned. It's 98% free and no processes were running on it when I ran the tests. Here are the results on the rest of my drives: INTEL SSDSC2CT120A3: - Runs Windows 7 and most programs on the computer http://prntscr.com/43pn0u My gosh, those read speeds! I don't even think that's possible on a SATA 3 port... Anyways, the read should be closer to 500MB and write should be near 400MB. HDD(160gb): - Runs basically only AMD drivers.. http://prntscr.com/43ppf9 http://prntscr.com/43pqy4 Notice how the HDD fluctuates less then the SSD... Thanks, Bryan T.

Hello people, Iv'e bought an external WD drive in order to make a home server thingy http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/155860-modems-why/ And A few years ago I bought a WD 3TB green drive. The drive is 2TB technically but you can unlock all of it with a special Asus software called disk unlock. I have all of my pictures over on that unlocked part. and it's transferring really slowly to where ever I copy it to. as you can see, the upper disk in the picture is my WD black 1TB, it's transfer speeds are okay. the lower disk is the green unlocked part, Very low transfer speeds. Anyone know why? solution anyone? Thank you all.

So my 840 SSD is getting seq read: 510MB/s seq write: 125 MB/s (OUCH!) random read: 40,759 IOPS random write: 22,603 IOPS It should be rated higher than this. I haven't had the disk for very long. Less than a year or so. I've done the Samsung Magician performance/OS optimizations so I don't think it's that. Although, please mention if there's some optimizations I've missed. This isn't lookin' good for my SSD. I didn't bother testing it when I got it so I'm not sure how long it's been this way. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys, So I recently ordered the blu-ray box set of Star Trek: The Next Generation. When I got it and put it into my computer, it could not read. I have an LG Blu-Ray Rewriter and it could play my Lord Of the Rings box set just fine but I am not sure why Star Trek doesn't. (The LOTR Set was a local copy, the Star Trek Set was from Amazon, but it is to my understanding that for Blu-Ray Discs, Southeast Asia and USA share the same region code) I updated the firmware of my drive too, but still nothing. What happens is that my drive knows there is a disc, but no data can be read off of it. I tried it in a blu-ray dvd player though, and it worked just fine. So I am not sure what is going on. BTW, my blu-ray player is an LG BH16NS40 . Hope you guys can help me figure out why this is happening. Thanks, James

okey i have a MSIZ77MA-G45 and i have no space to a RAID card. i have to OCZ Vertex 4 SSD 128GB in Raid0 but i need more space and the side i normal buy from have som really cheap Samsung 840 Series MZ-7TD120 so is it a good idea to RAID0 2xOCZ_vertex4 + 4xSamsung_840 from the Z77 chip ? BTW i know i dont get the speed from like a read card but the speed i have now is just fine. I need more space. so what good and what bad about this idea i have ?

Samsung PCIe SSD for ultrabooks do read speeds up to 1.4GB/s!
Nicktrance posted a topic in Tech News
Samsung announced they started mass production of the first PCIe based solid state disks for ultrabooks named the XP941 series with read speeds of up to 1.4GB/s, The lineup will consists of 512,256 and 128GB SSDs The XP941 comes in a new form factor weighing approximately 6g - about 1/9 of 2.5" SATA based SSDs and 1/7x the size. Samsung intends to expand it's production for PCIe notebook SSDs and plans to introduce next generation enterprise NVMe SSDs in a timely manner to also take the lead in that high-density SSD market. Source: http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/samsung_pcie_ssd_for_ultrabooks_do_read_speeds_up_to_1_4gbs.html I personally think as high as these performance numbers are, sequential speeds don't really matter that much IRL but since you aren't using most PCIe lanes in most notebooks anyway, they might as well use it to remove bottlenecks due to SATA 3. That said it really depends on how they intend to price it.
