I feel like 2TB is starting to become a regular drive size; 4TB is still exotic. In a product cycle or two, 4TB should gain that status and drop in price.

Well, if you lose the safe, you lose the contents. Few fire safes would last through a fire that takes down a house.

I would not suggest using an inkjet. Laser printers are still far more efficient, particularly if you're doing black and white. If you're not pushing a lot of pages, at that price, it may be cheaper to buy a replacement AIO to do the job rather than a new drum. How many pages are you copying...

Even assuming that your safe survives the fire (most aren't designed as such), it's now buried in the ruble that was your home.

For the record, latest version of ACD.dokan and dokany seems to fix the issues. I'm still getting errors setting attributes on my side, but that's a robocopy/rights issue and doesn't seem to be affecting the actual copying.

Kind of makes it inconvenient to mirror each of a couple hundred folders, one at a time.... In other news, the latest line from CrashPlan is that it is not actually for back-up, just "data redundancy"; and, I'm not supposed to keep versions of files on CrashPlan. Sounds like they don't want...

I'm thinking of myself. Bacteria like you can make it either way ;)

So, if your house burns down, you're fucked?

I've been trying to use robocopy to mirror media to ACD, but the the copy appears to hang at random and the cache blows up.

I started goofing around with the ACD Dokan drive and started getting errors trying to send files. Is anyone else using it right now?

I really hate that crap....

I don't see a clean environment as a mandate so much as a requirement for living.

That's kind of like saying that you'd like to set your house on fire to see if the dysfunctional fire department even answers the phone. Even if they respond right away, irreparable harm will be done.

If it goes to the house, there will be a lot more politicking, as each state gets one vote.

AT&T generally doesn't enforce. I know tons of people who abuse their Uverse connections. If Charter has a cap, I've never run into it. I'm full tilt outbound most of the time.

I had mentioned Syncovery up thread, but hadn't had a chance to test it out. It sounds like it's confusing, at best. I don't think that it's doing this encryption on the fly.

You have to realize that these other manufacturers must still be making money by paying Tesla to sell the electric cars that they aren't. I just see this as government-facilitated outsourcing of pollution reduction.

That's nonsense. We certainly will elect one of these people. Furthurmore, only Evan McMullin has any chance of getting votes in the electoral college. The best that he can do is hope for an electoral college tie between other candidates and come in as a dark horse in the House of...

Okkay. Looks like I'm good. I only just broke through that running CrystalDisk during one of the hot days earlier. Not a situation I'm likely to run into on a regular basis.

My Arq trial has run down twice, but it keeps working....

I'm really more concerned about versioning. 90%+ of my files don't change. I haven't had a chance to install. How long is long?

No, but it's not on. I can see the temp of this Plextor drive with Aida64. It always reads lower than the motherboard temp.

Preferably perfect synchronization with version back-up. However, something far more reasonable will do.

At what kind of temperatures should I expect to see an M.2 SSD to throttle? Just installed my first and, despite the fact that my BIOS doesn't seem to know anything about drive, it's working fine with Windows.

Merc, I'm sure that you'll stress it far more than I would. Any suggestions on systems for syncing files?

If I understand correctly, this just makes ACD appear as drive? How reliable is it?

I'm not happy with the interface changes with the anniversary update. The start menu is even less useful now.

Which adapter did you get from Amazon? Have you tried it? I have just one D-cell device, and buying the cells and a charger wouldn't be worth it. I also have single AA-to-D adapters, but 2 AA-to-D might be worth the cost.

I agree that Plex is a bit hopeless with music streaming, but it's not wildly worse than anything else. Google Play Music is actually better, but it isn't reading my metadata. I don't actually feel excited enough about any creators to support them directly.

You can actually set Windows to not automatically download and install updates. This does, however, mean that you have to do it yourself. On my system, I get notifications in the action center when there are new updates, so it's not as if you have to manually go in and check.

I don't pay anything for Prime shipping, and there's nothing of grave importance that Amazon offers in other departments that I can't get elsewhere. I also find their software to be extremely clunky. On the other hand, I do watch an enourmous amount of Youtube content. Not only do I want to...

For the record, I updated my friend's computer with no extra effort. I just downloaded the special installer and let it go. Did not have to set up any assistive technologies first. Except for the period for downgrading being ten days instead of the thirty for the open upgrade, it doesn't...

Google Play Music comes with both Youtube Music and Youtube Red. Worth the $10 in my opinion.

Shouldn't the real title be, "HP Buying Samsung's Printer Patents?"

Actually, he just needs to port over to Google Voice and use Hangouts for everything. I can send SMS to folks using my GV number from basically anywhere on the Internet.

What do you need to do the assistive technologies update? I have a friend who missed the boat by asking someone else about upgrading a year ago....

I thought that "Spring Breakers" was overhyped garbage. I haven't seen any of Harmony Korine's other directed films, but "Kids" was really good. I was very disappointed.

This is the first time that I've had any real problems with it. I want to have hibernation on for power outages. Generally, hibernation is more reliable than shutdown, as shutdown can hang.

Why would that cause problems in one setting, but not the other?

I've been having this weird problem where if I have my desktop set to High Performance, it bounces out of hibernation, i.e., it hibernates and immediately restarts. If I set the power setting to Balanced, it works as expected. Any idea what's going on?

I think that rsync is just one of the protocols that it can use. I haven't looked at it yet, but it does seem more geared towards syncing than backing-up.

If Citi requested address correction, the USPS will give them a new address. Were the statements addressed to you or her? If they're addressed to you, it may be mail fraud to destroy them rather than returning them to sender.

Here's a 2TB, 7200RPM enterprise drive for $60: http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15788 Can we move on now?

They cost half as much enterprise drives and fail at a less than 25% (total) rate. They've built their system around redundancy and can take the drive loses. Considering the number of drives that they buy, it's an acceptable trade-off.

Anyone heard of Syncovery? It also works with ACD, but seems a little more user friendly than Arq. https://www.syncovery.com/

Perhaps because integrated GPUs aren't fanless...

He needs to defer more of his compensation.

The drives are just as reliable as when they were $70 or $100. The warranty is the same length. No one said anything about enterprise. Even if we were, the price multiple between enterprise spinning disks and SSDs isn't better. You need to take the blinders off on slower drives. If they...

Quarterly update: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q2-2016/

China could go back to bikes. It actually worked quite well. Their problem, however, is coal-based electricity production, which electric vehicles won't necessarily help. And China doesn't really care about the health of the proletariat. It's expendable.
