Question What's everyone use to archive data these days?

This is great timing. I am in the same boat. I think my luck with hard drives pretty much sucks. I have used various HD manufacturers and without fail, they fail at some point. I do have data backed on multiple drives but it is taking too much time. I am thinking of going the S3 route. Some...

Advanced File moving

Thx. I will check out the Split path thing. I think that will be part of the solution. The Advanced Renamer is awesome - not my solution right now as I am not looking for renaming necessarily, but I have bought that program to solve another problem. It simply is an awesome program.

Consider not buying/building your PC this BlackFriday / This Year

I was all excited to put together a new computer this BF for my needs: video editing, photo editing and general office applications. Initially I was against the idea of AMDs since that is what I have right now and compared to my Intel PC, AMDs always seemed slow in software. I was...

Thunderbolt 3.0 / 2x M.2 NVME and GPU - will I get full speeds?

Hello All, I am planning on getting a new mobo based on Intel chipset. From what I am reading, I am limited by PCIe lanes. I get that the 16 of PCIe lanes will be used by GPU and is dedicated. So that is fine. But some boards have 20 PCIe 3.0 while others have more. Can someone provide...

Time to upgrade from Phenom II X4 960T

Well I guess I am going to have to look at Intel instead of AMD - just saw this youtube video for Lightroom and that is unacceptable in this day and age. Youtube Link

Time to upgrade from Phenom II X4 960T

Thx for the guidance. I guess budget is important. I think I was hoping to get the CPU/Mobo/RAM 16Gig for around $500. Laughable? Let me know if so. I mean I can go 8GB Ram until I can afford it I guess. For mobo, I am figuring I need a more advanced version.....need a lot of features. I was...

Time to upgrade from Phenom II X4 960T

Hello All, I have had this processor for so long. It has served me well but it is time to change as my needs are changing. What do you guys recommend I go with - an Intel latest generation chip, a Xeon chip or AMD newest chip with lots of cores? Or can I upgrade the current Phenom to...

Storage Spaces and my experience

Yeah I understand that....but boy...it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I have had other drives fail before and it is a pain copying the data over to a new drive and all that goes into it. This one comparatively was easy! I do have full backup on another drive in my NAS.

XBMC or Media Browser or JRiver or Other? Special needs

Unfortunately, I can't use OpenElec due to Linux and not Windows. I am committed to using Windows 8.1..especially with Storage Spaces technology.

XBMC or Media Browser or JRiver or Other? Special needs

Hmmmm..this is a curious thing...doesn't appear that XBMC can open straight up without some other software starting first. hmmm

XBMC or Media Browser or JRiver or Other? Special needs

Well I am going to use Storage Spaces on Win 8.1...hoping that will survive a hard drive crash or two. If the house burns down, well then I have other things to worry about. My photos are all backed up 3 to 4 times so I am not worried about them. Anyways...back to topic...anyone have...

Could you share your settings that you use to convert? I am presuming Handbrake? Does this reduce the file size at all? I am assuming no right? Btw, I will have about 6TB of free space.
