Drone forum?

Any chance for a drone forum? Maybe a forum for FPV quads or really just any drone including off the shelf RTF's, Bind n Flys and do it yourself builds including transmitters/receivers.

Wow, thanks for the article. So now I understand why the SSD sticky has not been updated. There is nothing to do except enjoy the fast speeds. :) Thanks, Maiyr

WD's 'My Book' 6TB findings...

Ah ok, I see. Yeah that does suck and I would have expected to be able to plug the drive in as you say. Seeing as I have three copies of everything important (one off site) I think I am safe for now, but I will look for another solution going forward. Thank you for the heads up. Honestly...

More recent SSD sticky (I just installed my first one)

It seems I can turn the Drive Optimization On or Off globally (all drives). I do not see a method in which to schedule it unless you mean you are using the Task Scheduler to do so. I'll keep looking. When I launch the Samsung software it tells me that TRIM is enabled. Does the Samsung...

WD's 'My Book' 6TB findings...

Well I hate to announce myself as the "clueless" one here, but what is the issue with the encryption? I currently have two of these in use. One as a media drive attached to my HTPC and another as a tertiary off site backup for everything. Am I doing something wrong or am I somehow in...

Need DDR2-800 memory

Hi all, Maybe I am crazy, but I am trying to find some DDR2-800 RAM to use so I can limp along another of couple of months on my current C2D system. Running Windows 10 and am currently using 4 Gig of Corsair XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500 1066MHz. I would like to get a 16 GB kit, but will settle...

Motherboard reviews on Newegg

My first literal LOL of the day. Thank you! What makes it so funny is that you literally see stuff like this. Maiyr

Yes, another please check my build request :)

So I am reading that the Asus z170m-Plus support AMD's Crossfire. http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z170M-PLUS Stupid question, but this has zero to do with anything in so far as a single video card is concerned, correct? In other words a single NVidia card (960, 1070, 1080, etc) will work...

Yes, another please check my build request :)

My main concern with the sys drive is that I want the best possible, within reason, experience with just general navigation within the OS and game loading. I'll have to read a bit more then on the SSD 950 PRO NVMe vs the Samsung SSD 850 PRO SATA III. Thanks, Maiyr

Yes, another please check my build request :)

Hi all, If you can please give a quick glance over to make sure my choices seem somewhat reasonable. I have not built a system since my current C2D so it's been a while and I wanted to make sure there is nothing obvious about my choices that would raise a red flag in so far as compatibility...

Taking the SSD plunge

I didn't even think about that, but the OS I am using is Windows 10. I will be upgrading within a few months and so this SSD could follow me into the new system as my current system will be dismantled. Thanks for all of the replies. Maiyr

Taking the SSD plunge

Thanks Elixer. So this got me to looking... "assume your system don't support ACHI or NCQ". You are correct, it does not and so the SSD would need to run in IDE mode. From what I am reading this may negate any of the speed enhancement I would have realized by going from a spindle drive to...
