    Watching random traffic over the internet

    So, does that mean that if, for example, someone in a foreighn country specifically wanted to watch packets from a specific location in the USA, they could not ? Even if that location had a static IP address such as a business.?

    Watching random traffic over the internet

    Just curious....... When IP based traffic is sent from point A to point B, it follows a certain path, called hops I think, to it's destination. So let's say for example I send a packet to a server somewhere else in the world. My PC sends those packets to my ISP which in turn forwards them to...

    Ryzen cpu temps

    42C is comfortably cool. Don't even think about it until you get to the mid 70C or above. 31-33C idle is about right. I get 32-34C at idle with the stock AMD wraith cooler on a 2700X Most of the time...... I just use Ryzen Master to set different profiles.....then set one depending on what...

    To NMVe or not to NVMe...that is the question

    That's what I've read. Only difference is when transferring really large files. So if you do photography or video editing for example (I do), it could help. I guess I'll try one. Thanks guys.

    C'mon Crucial....make up your mind please

    The Over Provisioning and Momentum Cache options aren't available on my recently purchased MX500 drive. Apparently they only apply to older Crucial SSD's ? These drives got very good reviews by the way. They are touted as "closing in on Samsung EVO drives" My experience has been 50/50...

    HDD with Reallocated Sector Count problem

    I believe a high or rising Reallocated Sector Count is indicative of a failing HHD. Get your data off of it asap. I personally have had nothing but trouble from Seagate drives for so long that I stopped using them. I use WD exclusively now for HHD. There are TONS of NEW 1TB WD HDD's on ebay...

    SSD Clone

    True.... I just cloned my WD 1TB HDD to my new Crucial MX500 1TB SSD and it needed alignment after cloning. But SSD to SSD....I dunno. Wouldn't hurt to check it afterwards would it?

    My New SSD drive from BHPhoto appears to have been used before?

    It was just my time on that one item. Stuff happens. The ROG Strix X470-F Motherboard, Ryzen CPU, G.Skill RAM and the the larger MX500 SSD all worked out fine.

    Disk Imaging - Success (1TB WD HDD to Crucial 1TB SSD)

    So which ones do you have the most stocks in? haha I definitely enjoy the products from companies that make things I want or enjoy......but I still can't actually say i "enjoy" giving them my money. More that it's necessary to pay for things you want or need. Even corporations deserve to...

    My New SSD drive from BHPhoto appears to have been used before?

    Yeah, I think whatever happened here was not BH's fault. I would guess Crucial shipped them this drive and they sold it just like any other drive. But one other person in this thread had a potential answer......someone in their fulfillment center or shipping warehouse swapped their messed up...
