System info: https://imgur.com/LobpxJA I've attached a screenshot of "System Information". I'm running a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti . I do game, but not particularly demanding games, and I doubt I'll have problems running games that are "a bit" more demanding than what I play most (CSGO), as...

So I recently upgraded my PC completely, the only two things which remained the same were my Nvme ssd and my old HDD. I did put in a new 1tb SSD also for newer games. Currently however every game which i have on my HDD either loads extremely slowly about 20x slower than it used to or it just...

Hi all. My friend has given me his Windows system, which is about 6 years old, to try and diagnose. The original issue was that it’d boot into the blue screen which gives him options like system restore, start up repair etc. I formatted his hard drive, reinstalled windows and everything seemed...

I'm looking to replace an aging 1TB 3.5" SATA HDD in my i7 desktop with a 6TB drive for my data (my system drive is SSD). I favour WD as I've had no issues with them over the years. Reasonable performance is a consideration, so I was thinking in terms of a 6TB Black. But I see that WD offer a...

Hi everyone, I have windows 10 Pro (64bit) OS installed on an SSD which is my boot drive (non raid). I have 4 HDDs bound as RAID members for my data. The machine has been working without fault for a long time. Post a windows update today my machine borked out. Windows reported...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can buy these standalone type brackets that are designed for 2.5" drives? The pair of brackets secure the hdd along its length. Here is a pic of what I am after: https://imgur.com/EiDP1uD I can only find mounting kits as opposed to something like this. Any...

Hi guys I've got a lot of HDD/SSD drives that I would like to keep an eye on, both that are occasionally connected to the computer, and those that are permanently connected. They are all local to my machine, no big network management or anything, just a home computer. I've been using HD Tune...

So a few year ago my WD Black died within a year suddenly and didnt check if it was under warranty or anything (I never registered anything) but they did say it should last 10 years or something ridiculous. Separately shortly after it went so did my Kingston ssd but it died is strange...

Just sorting out backups to 1903 and found in my back up "store" some HDDs with 2015 back ups. Is there any demand anywhere for such drives - or is it the hammer! Mel

It seems my Icy Box USB 3 powered hub is on the way out. So I need a replacement. Requirements: 2+ USB 3.0 ports - the more the better - and the ability to plug in SATA drives (both HDD and SSD). The peculiarity is that it is at the end of a 5m active USB 3 cable with a type B connector.

I bought a great second hand ATX case; I know it's an Enermax but don't know what model - maybe an MSI gaming branded Ostrog? But it came without any 3.5" or 2.5" mounting rails for hard drives. I know it probably doesn't matter so much for my SSDs which will sit happily loose with no moving...

Hello, I've recently bought a brand new 1TB hard drive due to my older one failing. Before installing my hard drive I was operating windows on my SSD, however as soon as I installed the Hard Drive, the PC kept saying that my "PC/device has to be repaired" and that "the automatic repair couldn't...

Hello everyone, A mate messaged me saying he'd dropped his Laptop, has not been able to boot into Windows 7 since and would I have a look at it. It landed bottom side down so I guess the HDD would have felt the impact more. Unfortunately he's got music on it that he doesn't have backed up and...

Hi All I have recently upgraded all the components of my pc. The old parts i have used to build a PC for someone except i am using a pretty old Sata HDD (the old system ran perfectly well for the age and components). Upon completing build for this 'new' build i've noticed that opening files...

Hi guys. I've been doing quite a lot of gameplay capture and video editing for my son's YouTube channel but I'm using a very basic 2 year old hp notebook and its not really designed for this. It struggles to accept the capture footage unless the quality is set really low and it's not a gaming...
